I fixed it myself. just ebay the parts. I think i searched for xbox RROD and the part should be a couple of dollars.
Fixed 2 xbox360s, 1 is still working, the other one RROD on me again.

go buy a Torx 8 screwdriver, torx 10 screwdriver, and some decent thermal paste, as well as a heat gun and some tin foil. then DIY.

there are no parts to replace, aside from the thermal compound.

Mine rrod last week lol 3rd xbox in 3 years
ran out of warranty and Microsoft said they'll fix it for 130$ with 3 months warranty :fuckthatshit:

I found a couple guys on craigslist

One has a shop on west broadway by tomakazu/toys r us

60$ with 6 month warranty

Gonna give him a try this week

6042405441 if your interested

Course you could DIY with guides on youtube

i use the same guy on broadway

mahn i sent you the youtube links lol

i spent like 30 $$ buying the materials locally, me and a friend fixed in 2 hours

thermal paste and screwdriver were the most expensive

lol i know saw the videos and said fuck it to much work

30$ DIY but it could fuck up again

for 60$ i can get someone to do it for me + 6 months warranty in case it rrod again not bad of a deal

hoping to get back on the box this weekend!

seriously, don't bother fixing it.

I fixed my fat xbox360 for like 3 times, RROD came back every year. Did towel trick, toothpick trick, new heatsink, new heat paste, new x clamp. I end up paying more than buying a brand new one, RROD still slapped me in my face, that's why I bought the slim, nothing wrong so far.


What happened to my fattie? the fat xbxo360 was kept in my room in pieces for over 2 years. In August, I looked up Taobao (chinese ebay), found someone who would BGA CPU and GPU for $25, I gave that a try. The guy told me the solder balls under my CPU were cracked, he reballed everything for me, now I have 2 xbox (one for backups, one for xbox live)

is there a way to fit the harddrive from a fat xbox 360 to a slim 360?


without having to use a transfer data cable + buy a new slim HD

30$ the first time then free the next time cuz you have the stuff already

and if it fucks up once a year then its ok if i spend at most 10 $ for more paste and use up 2 hours of my time on a lazy sunday

this is why i own a ps3 :fuckyea:

I bought an rrod xbox once just to try it out. Threw it in the oven, and 20mins later, and it's running again.

Anyone try that guy from granvile island on Craigslist

fitted my old 20gb without any case into the slim 4g. Google it, they are everywhere. Nothing wrong so far, except I have two storage devices, maybe I'll take the 4g chip off the board

Lool guys i have a RROD xbox too, but the X-clamps have flexed and no longer hold then tension thats needed.

Any fix for this?

... no one uses the towel trick?

saw him too but other guy seemed more legit lol not sure where in granville island this guy is located and if he has a shop or not

shit ima try the towel method now lol

lol old ass xboxes have 100% failure rate :( My friends and I all got the RROD

I tried to RROD my old 360 on purpose because it would freeze as soon as a game booted LOL. Tried everything to do it, including overheating the fuck out of it then throwing it in the freezer..

Towel trick is for retards, all that does is fix your real issue for about 5 minutes, and cook the shit out of everything else so now it'll get a real issue that can't be fixed, sooner.

$30 in tools and I fixed enough 360's in a couple months just in my spare time, to buy a PS3 + 24" 1080p LCD (this was in Uni).

there's your problem...

The real fix is to get the eror code and see what it applies to, if it's a GPU error take it apart, clean off the old paste, bend the clamps so they apply slightly more pressure, heatgun the board PROPERLY, reassembly with the correct amount of cheap thermal paste (seriously, the cheapest shit you could buy is better than what MS uses). reassemble and done.

Underscore , want to fix mine LOL ?
