RRoD Has struck again!
 

Well the GPU solder joints have cracked and it needs to be reflowed gargh how annoying, off to buy a heat gun and more thermal paste. Anyone interested in a tutorial on how to do it?

Bill Gates: "F*ck you Alex!!"

Haha. Bad luck dude.

thought your amazing kit was insanely good :P

LMAO at this

It was, till it failed to fix the gpu :(
Life goes on I guess, and so does a reflow of the solder underneath the chip!

id be interested in a guide of some sort as ive got to do mine as microsoft dont want to know as i dont have a receipt. just got the bits to do it but am i right in thinking that i have to let it overheat once ive modded it?

Yeah, I'll do a couple of guides since she's apart. I kinda lied in the title, no RRoD but GPU is fucked and dies after 3 mins. Should be fixed now. Just cooked it!

just a quick question: what can i use to get the old paste off? will meths or white spirit be ok?

I used nail varnish remover.

just had a go at doing mine last night and im still getting the 3 red lights. anyone got any ideas?

I've tried everything and can only get mine to work for about 5 mins before it freezes, then I have to bake it again. I'm just gonna sell it on ebay as faulty and hopefully get about £30 out of it, already bought a new console anyway.

ebay it is then.

thought you were gona send it back to microsoft because you took the seal sticker off like a pro...
