Gaming RROD after X-clamp fix

[Translucentbill]

Well its been about 6 months since i did the x-clamp fix and now all of a sudden i got RROD, what do i do? Is there any chance of survival?

You have to reflow the soldering, at this point. Otherwise, it won't start working again

Now what exactly is that?

Since you probably don't have an expensive Hot Air soldering station or a BGA reflowing oven, just use an heat gun, like this:

You can find many tutorials on doing this on the internets googling "heatgun 360 fix"

BTW its the 0022 error, just got the codes off my xbox, from what i've read thats a GPU error.

My xbox had the e74 that couldn't be fixed with the x-clamp. Went to Ace Hardware, bought a $25 heat gun and reflowed my xbox 360.

Best $25 every spent

you fixed e74 ? ... i didn't think that was actually possible.

I had the same issue as the op, only diff is after my x-clamp fix, like literally 2 weeks later the damn thing died of e74... end of story

Then you have to reflow the GPU-part of the motherboard

Reflowing actually fixes E74... for a bit of time. It'll die again, eventually.

Thanks for confirming that for me, since i recently got rid of of a few e74 360's, thought they were a complete loss, guess they actually were anyway.
