Resurrected my old 360 tonight

[fenixsaint]

So I have an old xenon 1.0 that died on me a while back. Was giving me the rrod even after a textbook x-clamp mod (it did work for 3 weeks though) and heat gun attempts. I was thinking about selling it but decided to give the heat gun one more try, all or nothing. I heated the bottom up for about 4 minutes on the 350 setting then flipped it over. I heated the top on low for 4 more minutes then cranked it to 750 for about 4 more minutes on the top. Cooled it down, stuck some pennies on the ram and crossed my fingers.

Plugged it in annnd bam! fired right up I was so happy I even gave it a 9v fan mod to boot.

good work man
but the fix for the rrod is not long lasting
play it while you can

Nice lee, that's longer than some of the new xboxs lasted.

My repaired box made it through a 7 hour stress test yesterday too. Looking good so far.
