Hi folks,
Got a 360 which had an E74 error which i applied the X clamp fix using 2 washers per side, seemed to fix fault for a while, then got some bad graphics and later e74 error so i redone xclamp fix with 2 washers one side and 1 washer the other side, worked for a while again, now getting bad graphics occasionally and game freezing.
seen lots of different fixes, thought X clamp would have got rid altogether but hasnt. Are there any other fixes i could try.
Thanks for reading and sorry if posted in the wrong area
cheers

well man
if you did not put a heat gun on the chip you could try that.
but
that the only thing after the xclamp i know of.

used a hairdryer for a bit.
should i be concentrating just on the chip under the heatsink or some sites show guys putting a roll of coins on a different chip altogether.
cheers

that wont work not hot enough.
heat gun is what you need to use.
you can get it to hot.keep in mind

will try hot air gun, is it most likely dry joints on the graphics chip then? Thats why bad graphics coming and going.

thanks

most of us think its because they used leadless solder on the board.
after some hot/cold the small solder point under the "gpu" or/and "cpu" crack and stop working.

my buddy had a similar problem. i applied the xclamp and it still didnt work. but after trying the hot gun trick it worked fine for about 3 months. Using these methods are really touch and go from my experience. They are worth a shot before chuck her in the bin. there are other methods of getting a new replacement of the xbox that are legal but im sure i shouldn't discuss them in the threads
