Preface

Here you will find essential information on how to permanently fix XBOX 360 that suffers from the infamous Red Ring of Death. As with most tutorials that I’ve seen, this is not at all “my” invention or information. This is a collaboration of many peoples ideas and theories that have been tested by many others, but as whole - seem to benefit the entire XBOX Scene community. Do this at your own risk, only if you are like me - “Out of Warranty”. I take no responsibility if you destroy your XBOX further. With that said let’s get to the fix.

Why does it really work

When Microsoft designed the 360, they chose a slightly unusual way of mounting the heat sinks to the processors. When the console is running, there is a tremendous amount of heat build up inside the case. This causes the motherboard to flex against the X-Clamp support which in turn can cause the soldered joints on the processor to come away from the motherboard itself. This result in the the Red Lights of death. Due to the inefficient design of the heat sink clamping method, this is a very serious problem. Although Microsoft haven’t (as of yet) come up with a decent design fix, on the latest ‘Elite’ versions of the console they have used epoxy resin to ‘glue’ the corners of the processors down to stop the flexing that causes this error. Whether their fix will stand the test of time remains to be seen. What the modification contained in this manual achieves is to alleviate board flexing and apply uniform pressure to the processors. This uniform pressure is enough to ‘remake’ the faulty joints resulting in a working console. Also, because the pressure on the processors is uniform the heat sinks do a much better job of dissipating the heat build up.


!!!Before You Start!!!

Be clever and check whether its absolutely necessary to perform the X-Clamp Fix। If you can, always make use out of that bit of warranty that's left and send it back to Microsoft. Check the Error Codes List first so that you know exactly whats wrong with your console.
