X-Box 360 Repair Reviews

Posts Tagged ‘yourself’

So I got given this 360 which didn’t come with any controllers, games or a hard drive, oh and it was RRoD‘ing. I found the error code for my RRoD was 0022 which is a ‘Hardware Failure’ most often affiliating with either the CPU or the GPU overheating. I fixed the RRoD by replacing the (extremely poor quality) thermal paste that is situated between the CPU, the GPU, and their heat sinks. I used a thin hard bit of plastic (my bank card) to scrape off the solids of the compound, then using methylated spirits and a cotton bud or que tip to clean off the remainder on both the heat sinks and the processors. After that I put on a small dap of new thermal paste on the surface of the processors and spread it evenly until the entire surface of all the processors was covered. I placed the Heat sinks back along with the washers and made sure that the bolt/screw-things were done up as tight as I could get it before pressing down extremely hard on both heat sinks to get a decent contact, you need to press down or it will continue to RRoD. These are the steps I took before I started recording this video. Feel free to ask me and before attempting ANY home repairs I strongly suggest looking up the error code to make sure your not trying to “fix” something that’s not broken.

Part 2 of 3. Thumbstick or trigger on your XBOX 360 controller broken? Or just plain worn out from hours upon hours of gameplay? Here’s a video tutorial on a soldering method you can use to replace the parts in about 25 minutes. Be sure to hit up the DIY section of the Viking360 forums to discuss mods with other thrifty do-it-yourselfers. www.Viking360.com At a minimum you will need *1.) A soldering iron and some solder. *2.) Desoldering sucker OR desoldering braid from radio shack (either will do the trick) *3.) The replacement trigger or thumbstick mechanism, and of course *4.) The special screwdriver to open up the controller. By the time you purchase all of this equipment I’m sure you’ll find that it would be cheaper just to purchase a new controller. But, if you happen to have some of this equipment on hand (including a ‘donor’ circuit board to get the replacement parts from) then you can save some money by replacing the part yourself. Of course we assume you already know how to open and disassemble your XBOX 360 controller using a Torx-8 ‘tamper resistant / security’ screwdriver. This video is just demonstrating the soldering, for those of you who haven’t done a lot of soldering before. We use a lot more tools than what we listed above, because we do a lot of mod work. If you do a lot of mod work for your family or friends, it might be worth charging them a modest fee so you can start buying some of this useful equipment for your workbench.

if you do this, remember to very very slowly tilt the 360. DO NOT tilt it in any other direction while the disc is spinning except up. if you do you will scratch your disc. badly. use at your own risk. this is how i fix any disc read problem with my 360. i’m guessing since the drive is so old the motors are unable to move without the little help of gravity with the faceplate facing up. or it could do something with the magnet that holds the disc in place, i’m not sure yet.
