re: Red Circle of Death - XBox 360

go to youtube and search for xbox 360 RROD x-clamp fix. It requires you taking apart your xbox and doin a bit of work on it. If you've ever worked on any kind of electronics before or computers at all it'll be a cake walk. There is 3 video's for the x-clamp fix and it works 100% of the time if you do it right and the fix is permanent.

The RROD is caused when the heat sinks seperated from the processors. They seperate and then the thermal paste between the heat sinks and processors get fissures/cracks in them and you dont have a good connection and you get the RROD. The x-clamps are what hold the heat sinks onto the processors and they are shitty pieces of flimsy metal that bend when the xbox gets real hot. The x-clamp fix basically replaces the x-clamps with screws and nylon washers and you put new paste down. I've fixed several 360's with this and its worked every time.
