Re: Xbox RROD succesfully fixed plus modded
Fuck, so much bad advice.
Reflow by unplugging the fans is not a reflow at all. You may damage the procs on the board.
1000f heat gun is going to warp your board or do a shit job reflowing. The time is about right though, some times it took 15. Correct temp was 350-380C. Chip itself gets up to 200 or so... i checked with a IR temp probe.
Reinstalling the clamps leads to repeat failure as the clamps move the board while screwed to the casing when everything heats up. I read this was a contributing factor in the failures based on varying rates of expansion/contraction in the metal.
My Nvidia reflows tend to last over 6 months. Xboxes were hit or miss, some kept going forever some lasted a month. The older ones tended to stay fixed while the newer ones were more flaky. Also there is more than one RROD code, some fixed very well some were a matter of luck.
