try switching on and apply pressure to RAM chips individually these can also cause RROD also are fans running and did you replace thermal goo

the xclamp repair doesnt always fix the RROD theres a dozen reasons why the RROD can happen an the xclamp only sorts half of them.

when u did the xclamp repair did u clean off the tops of the chips and the bottoms of the heatsinks? did u use some top notch pc thermal paste? id also recommend upgrading the fans and cooling. cos most of the time the RROD is due to overheating and just doin the xclamp alone doesnt solve the reason it was overheatin in the first place. sounds like your xbox is a bit too far gone to be ressurected. could be the cpu, the graphics chip, the ram, the small graphics chip which doesnt have a heatsink (cant rememebr what its called now.lol) or even the psu ( u can tell its that one cos the fans dont spin) ebay time i think!

if youre gettin "matrix" style graphics then thats definately your graphics chip overheating. its normally the main one to go due to being right underneath the dvd rom and havin very poor ventilation. i believe its also why the disk comes up as unreadable first. the heat from the gpu affects the dvd drive. i had it on one of mine and the disk would be very warm.

do the over heat trick,.. yea over heat it to fix it,... take the vent off. and leave the 360 running with out a game in for 3 -mins ish,.. or untill it gets to 2 red lights,.. then power off ,.. leave for 20mins, tighten screws,..


power on should me working,..

yer i took out the bolts he used and then did it properly with the washers etc but i think he must of broke it beyond repair... does anyone know if i could find some of the normal X things microsoft fit if i fitted some of them on do you think microsoft will fix it? yer he didnt use washers and the motherboard was touching the heat sink in some places so he bent it quite bad
