TheBloodyNine Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Its similar to the "towel trick" where you wrap the console in towels and have it over heat for 20 minutes expanding the hardware making the connections again, but after a week the board returns to its previous shape causing it to fail again. You can just register the box as an intermittent RRoD on the support site, they don’t check any consoles coming in with that fault and just ship a refurb.

Colm Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I do X-clamp replacements and reflow the solder. Good for the ol 3 rings of death.... Thing is a friends egg box video would not output to the TV but the sound would. I told him to try using the VGA cable and it worked... if its a plasma/lcd tv i would try and borrow a VGA... if it works you can buy a 25 quid VGA cable rather than a MS 50 quid fix If you want the x-clamp replacement i will do it for 20 quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarbunny Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Why would he camp it when the clamp is a temporary solution at best and when Microsoft will fix it for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 because, it might be out off warranty and they won't fix it for free, also the xclamp is not always a temporary solution, I have done alot of xclamps and they have been working well over a year.... longer than the xbox lasted in the first place.
