Fair enough, well I'm gonna try fixing my one again then and see how it goes. If I still get no luck I'll send it off as I have nothing to lose, if that fails then I guess Ill just have to fork out for a new console

Hmmm I dont remember having pads on mine? Where do they go and what do they do?

lolz Dazed, you think they arnt going to notice if its been pealed off? they will know straight away its been tampered with, the only place that will take the console in without even testing or looking at it, is a store like game if its still under store warrenty, because they just sent it back to microsoft and get there money back on it for been faulty.

But yeh, miscrosoft will check if its been tampered with, and even if you didnt break the seal, you think they wont notice your bodge job trying to fix it?

It will be sent straight back to you broken still, and probably say TWAT in black marker on the inside for the next time you give it a pop

lol CHILL. Well I read somewhere as long as the seal isnt ripped or removed then it's fine, you can buy new seals as well if you need to. You're probably right but like I said I've got nothing to lose and if I can get a repaired xbox out of it then it's fine.

They go on the underside of the motherboard next to the x-clamps theres four of them. The pads maintain a constant pressure on the RAM chips so the solder doesn't melt and holds the chips on =]
EDIT: After seeing those pads tbh I blame them for the RRoD.
