FFS I fix these things!
I Gurantee any of these youtube videos will not give you a fix like I can do.
We rock the F out of a 360. Takes two hours of labor for one system! Were in Carol Stream. Mention Chicago Garage when you come/call and get a D count!
Game Console Repair in Carol Stream
oh and dont wrap your system in a towel!!! Put a plug in your exhaust and see how your car likes it

only takes me about 3 hours or so to fix a rrod, not bad for doing it in my bed room
you even add custom artwork for free
yeah, i was messing with doing the shroud mod but got bored with it cause i just wanted to see if the 360 would work again cause at the time it was my first attempt. theres a ton of stuff you can do be it put in different fans or something as easy as cutting a few bigger holes where the fans blow out.
OK please bear with me on this. I thought that the RROD meant general hardware failure, which then had to be pinpointed to actually figure out the cause. One potential problem being overheating, but what about the issues with faulty soldering or the video card or something entirely different. What are the fixes for THOSE issues?
every 3 light error ive seen has been the same problem and fixed the same way, if its overheating, its a different set of lights lit up. video card issues are as simple as not having video no matter what you do, you can assume its video card failure which is another problem 360s have alot
ive done no cooling mods to mine and they work fine after you fix the rrod. the fix i use is replace the crappy x clamps they use for holding the motherboard and the heatsinks together with actual bolts and washers that make the board rigid and doesnt allow it to flex as it heats up which leads to solder problems. the cooling can help delay the problem but i still think it will show up. if you do the x clamp mod i described above and cooling, you should be good to go for good pending vid card failure etc.... its like putting a little something extra so you have less to worry about on top of the first fix. it all helps in the end
Best 360 fix:
*Reflow (heat up board so solder reconnects with components)(you can easily F up your board if you do this wrong)
*Remove X clapms
*Remove stock bolts on heatsinks
*Drill into 360 Chassis to allow bigger bolts
*Add bigger bolts and a very precise amount of washers/spacers (needs to be exact)
*Remove old/Add new thermal paste
*increase fans to 12v
*install supercharger/turbo (stage 2 and up)
This is the ruff idea for fixing the rrod. This takes at leaste 2 hours to do for someone who is skilled. If one of these steps is not done properly it will not work. If washers are not correct it will not work. If bolts are to tight/loose it will not work. If reflow is done too much/too little it will not work.
For the most part the winner of the fix is the reflow. You can skip the rest and still give your board a reflow. The 3RL WILL come back. Could be a day, could be a year. Next is the new bolts. This will ensure it will not come back. Also at modsource we have a signature method of bolts/washers that no one else uses. Through many hours/days/weeks we were finally able to perfect the fix. That is why people from all of the world send there system to us.
