Bro, I bought an xbox 360 slim on marketplace and it was having this exact problem, sent the motherboard with my father-in-law to his work because he has all the equipment and knowhow with this kind of thing. Just got the motherboard back this morning, reassembled the 360 and now it works like a charm! fantastic video!
Man don't stop making such videos if the views are low or anything. Keep making them. You are natural with camera and presentation, you are destined to be successful in this game.
“keep going to work even if they aren’t paying you just keep working for free cause you are good at it!” Cmon thats crazy bro 😂 lol im only joking though you are right youtube takes time just needs to keep at it.
you know how long ive searched for a simple fix like this, ive been reballing for so long to realise this was actually the problem for the RLOD, thank you
Thank you for the repair guide,it really worked for my Xbox 360 slim.At the first couple of starts it froze and it worked with problems,but after a few tries it started without flaws.Nice work!
My only 2 cents would be that if you are already that deep inside the 360 go ahead and remove heatsink, clean it, clean old thermal paste and apply fresh thermal paste and clean fans.
The matte S model is peak of 360 manufacturing. The Chrome series is less robust and its board is inferior to the S model.
The original models along with the Elite were just plain bad.
The S model only needs this periodic maintenance every so 10~ years
Of course, if Microsoft didn't go greedy and made a legacy system on PC we wouldn't have this conundrum 🤷♂️
Yes! Good point! We actually had done thermal paste before this video.
My Elite still runs fine
What's wrong with the chrome trim slim 360s? I thought all s modle 360s were solid...
@@jjhack3r They are, the only difference is one may be a Corona model and the other a Trinity, BOTH of which are good.
Ok so a few days ago I got a free 360 S and I disassembled it and replaced the thermal paste with some Corsair TM30. Do you think Corsair TM30 will last for 10 years?
Hey super job on this video, couldn't have saved my 360 Slim from the dead without your help. Hint to anyone else working through this issue: check all of the SMD resistors around the CPU for high resistance. I jumped R4D3-D8 as you did, but also had to jump R4D1 (closer to the CPU) due to high resistance failure.
Hey I would like to thank you for this video I did this to my Xbox 360 and now it works. Now I can catch up on my games and play some of my games that I never even played. Thought my system was a goner. Thanks and keep up the good work ✌️ out God bless you and your family.
This worked for me! I did a terrible job and it still worked. I just used solder blobs instead of tiny wires. infact I just put 3 blobs of solder because my Iron wasn't small enough to do 6 tiny solder blobs. So, like R4D8 and R4D7 both share the same blob of solder; same with R4D6 and R4D5; and so forth. It seems to still work. I burned the board with the iron so its possible the connections are just open and not even touching the solder blobs too. It was just a last ditch effort before throwing it away; and it worked. I think it's thermal regulation is gone now; so intensive games might freeze
Great video, thank you! I just picked up an Xbox 360 slim at a garage sale for $25. It was super dusty and missing happy the power cord but I figured it was a steal anyways. Got it home and I had the RDOD- had no idea what to do. Turns out I had 0011 and 0013 error codes. So I replaced the resistors with solder and added new thermal paste to the heat sink and it powers on! We’ll see how long it lasts but as of I’m glad it works.
Holy shit this actually worked. I picked up a 360 Slim today at a garage sale and it was doing exactly what this was doing. Crazy fan and the red light. My soldering sucks and this is very difficult without a scope, but I managed to jump them all and it works perfect. I was skeptical so I couldn’t believe it. Thanks for the vid!!
Yesss! Amazing, love this
Why didn't you just replace the resistors after you shorted out the pads and confirmed it working? I would have liked to see the values of the SMD resistors in case this shows up on the video circuit. I think I can apply this to see if the resistors are causing my hdmi switch to not work with my 360.
I am trying to fix my Grandson's XBOX 360 S but the motherboard on your video doesn't look like mine and the resistors are not present. I know nothing about the XBOX but ok with electronics. My fault is that the green led lights for a few seconds then turns to a permanent red (not flashing) and there is no video output but the fan turns. Prior to this the screen would freeze whilst playing games. Have you any suggestions on how to repair it apart from cleaning and re-greasing the heatsink? Thanks.
Just got my xbox 360 star wars edition ( R2-D2 ) in the mail today. Seller stated that it had the red ring of death. I decided to take a chance on it and when I tested it it automatically had the cooling fan spin at high rpm and only the center light flash red then the console would shutdown after a few seconds. I did a ohms test and found 2 out 6 resistors were bad. I tried your method of removing the 6 resistors and bypassing them and now the console works perfectly! THANK YOU!
To all the people who commented on what gauge of wire that was used... You don't need to use wire to make a bridge. You can just run some solder across and that's your bridge. Take your time it's very fine solder work that's required.
My R2D2 console just started having this problem this morning :( I'll have to give this a go
@@candicedebebe6276 just take your time. It was my first time doing that job and it was pretty easy to do.
haven't you had any problem some time after doing the solder work? i did this and effectively the red dot disappeared, but after two days the xbox abruptly turned off and now the red dot is back but the fan doesn't turn on
@@Roxor.Z no issues so far. I use the console 2 or 3 times a week at about 2 hours each use.
Sick vid, would've saved my pro halo 3 career if this video came out a few years ago.
@@africanmarge4377 nice
@@africanmarge4377 haaa
You werent very good, bro.
Stick to Skylanders
@@robspear03lol
I like this man, I did as exactly as you presented now my xbox is working fine
I would replace those resistors with new zero-ohm jumpers (the same thing), the engineers no doubt chose them for their higher impedance at high frequencies for good reason(s).
I've never soldered anything in my life, but was having the exact same issue with the console reporting a false overheat. First I tried just reheating the solder at the ends of the existing resistors. When I powered the console on, the fan speed didn't ramp up to max immediately anymore, but now it doesn't speed up past the stock idle speed... which leads to freezing after roughly ten minutes of gameplay. Any ideas? Does the fix demonstrated in this video retain the 360's ability to control fan speed, based on demand? Thanks in advance and great video!
Can't thank you enough. Worked on my StarWars R2D2 Edition
I have an older 360, it's a 2010 model. I could not find the row of 6 resistors but found 2 with numbers matching the ones you removed R4D4 and R4D5. Is it possible that I just have to replace these 2 resistors if the test bad?
Did you get an answer or any other info? I'm in the same boat.
Omg I'm only seeing that two resistors too wat we do there
@@baroovevo1860 No, search better
Did you ever figure this out? I’m dealing with an Xbox 360 reach edition. Sounds like the same board mine has
You made this look way easier than it actually is I wish I had a soldering iron small enough
This worked perfectly. Although, I'm no stranger to SMD work, this was tough for some reason. Had to use the macro on my iPhone. I really need to invest in a microscope. Thanks for the vid man.
Man, you are great, absolutely amazing, practical and objective. Congratulations
What gauge enamel coated wire are you using?
I really need help on this, I don’t have money to get the right equipment. Is there anyway of getting past this?
Only 25 bucks on Amazon for a kit
Throw it out of a Window, maybe its get open
a cheap solder pen costs like 10 usd
@@gildardorodriguez4356 I have the whole kit you can buy for 25
@@theelitedragon2xx Let me check it out. I'm saving to buy a rework station...
This is how you make a video! 🎉Great breakdown man👍🏽
Please note this is mostly for a model that does not have internal flash. Mine was a model 1439.
Would be grateful if you could tell us the value of the resistors that you removed. I would prefer to replace the resistors with new resistors rather than wire.
Om de paar maanden, maak ik de XBOX360 SLIM open, en Reinig alles, dus doorblazen, FAN schoonmaken, en natuurlijk de Moederbord doorblazen met een schone droge zachte kwast.... Zet altijd de XBOX360 SLIM of een andere type altijd vrij, en niet in een kast. De warme lucht moet ie altijd kwijt..... EN dank je voor deze filmpje
What size and type of enamel coated wire did you use? Didn’t see link in description
Wondering that same question myself
Does anyone know what size resistors are used to do this repair?
I took mine of a old motherboard
My sister put her Slim in the refrigerator. I was laughing my ass off.
Great video! Now I know what to do for this repair
Thank you sir! Follow closely and you will too become a solder master
Does anyone know the actual values for the resistors removed? Are they true 0 ohm, or other value resisters?
0 ohm
I want to thank you for making this , this worked to fix mine which was blowing air, blinking 11 times, then turning off. You fixed my xbox yay!
What kind of wire is used to create the jumpers? Thank you.
This fixed my rrod on a corona V1 slim, thanks so much!!! Subscribed
Great video man.
Good video. Have 2 same xbox 360 slim with the RROD and will try that. Thought that could have just connect the power and AV cable after the soldering to test without putting the whole thing together to test.
I picked up a 360 a few days ago and have been on a serious halo 3 binge, finding games in under 10 minutes!
Wait so all I need to do is remove the resistors and replace them with jumpers, also what’s a jumper
A jumper is a very short wire
Okay but my fan isn't even running it just shows a red light
Just unplug your hard drive and plug it back in
Ye mine did that at first and then like a few years later it started doing the fan thing
Same
Not all red rings mean its overheating or thinks its overheating. If you own a normal xbox 360 (not a slim) Then 1 part of the ring means 1 component failed. 2 means its overheating. 3 (The one most people will get) means more than 1 component failed. 4 lights means the av output is disconnected or something is really wrong with the xbox.
Same
hi i have a xbox 360 slim so it also has the issue of the red dot and i recently got it j-tagged the problem is as soon as the hard drive is connected sometimes the fan speed goes high and it shows the red dot so how do i trace the eaxct error
Really helpful video. Thanks
But I have a question, what do i do if i don't have those reaistors? They're just not there on mine motherboard. I reapplied thermal paste but it still freezes from time to time
yeah that's the problem w/ this video...dude doesn't say what version motherboard it's for: Corona
What is the liquid called that made the factory solder to come off ? I have code 0013 and I need to fix R4D4 nd R4D3
Mine goes to a non-flashing red dot a few seconds after powering it on. Fan never seems to kick on
that's the same problem I'm having
Same with my problem
Try unplugging the fan, let it rest for a few seconds, and then plugging it back in.
Ok the first thing you need to do with a Xbox360 that has the "Red ring of death" is check the power cable on the adapter there will be a light when the system is on the light should be green if it's red or orange the means there's something wrong with the cable ... Now it could be the system and the power cord but I would start by replacing the power cord before you decide to take the entire thing apart
hey there, I had the overheating RROD as well and did all of these steps. but now it has a different RROD but the xbox immediately turns off, s quick i cant even read the full code. but it starts with 00... do you maybe have a tip or trick?
Do you offer repair services?
My first 360 slim had a solid red ring then layer on I brought my friend's slim and the only thing with that was the wireless chip was faulty sometimes it wouldn't show available networks or even connect I fixed that with a wifi adapter from another slim then later on the fan died fix that as well it worked like a charm
Interesting. I thought the RRoD had been resolved with the Jasper series. That is what I waited for and came home with one a few months after its release and have never had any trouble with it, fortunately.
They've GREATLY improved them.
My board must be a different revision. I do not have that row of resistors.
Thank you very much and is very informative!
You need an IQ of 140 to do this, great watch mate and very interesting but I think I'll go and buy a new one 👌👍
Why not just replace the couple bad resistors?
thanks fixed a free xbox :)
I have.
A Xbox 360 slim, like the one in your video and I can't seem to figure out why it's got the ring of death.It's only got a red dot it's not blinking or anything.
Does anyone have a link to the specific enamel covered copper wire he used?
I can't find it in the description.
0:25 mine doesnt do that the fan just works normal
can you advise - I have already changed the resistors for cables but now they flash red and turn off
Thank u very much i repaired my console ❤❤
Excellent video! 😊
Thanks!
Are there any methods I could try before opening it up?
James Roberts no
Guys its just the hardware in the Xbox just take it out and change it
Bingo!
What gauge wire was used to ensure the correct resistence?
Hello. I have just plugged in one of these and come up with a constant red dot error code 0100 fan does not run fast nothing in the screen. Where should i start? Any ideas? Any help would be great.
I nocked a resistor of at the back of the xbox near the clamp can I by pass this with a blob of solder
🤔 why not show values of wire rig after?
No need, a wire is a wire and will have the correct reading!
I got a slim and I plug it in and goes to red blinking light would no hard drive cause that bought from a yard sale trying to trouble shoot it
Thank you so much
Thank you my friends brother stole his other Xbox so we’re going to fix his
Can u fix mine
"Red ring of death" is SOLID red center light without the fan spinning full speed. Blinking red light is just failed 0ohm resistors and can be easily fixed with one or more solder blobs in 100% of cases. A cake walk.
Start green then straight red light no flash no screen time but fan is running And power seems ok ??
I'm having the same problem. Opened it up to check those resistors he shows, but it seems I have a different model because they are not the same on my board. Gonna do some experimenting tomorrow to see if the resistors it does have are the problem.
So I have a corona, and mine basically does the same thing, except it blinks 10 times then shuts off. everytime its 10 times. I used a multimeter and everything was saying 0 ohms, but to be safe I swapped out the resistors. I am still getting the red light, again only blinking 10 times then shuts off. Ideas?
Could be the thermal paste under your heat sink, you would have to remove the x-clamp and reapply thermal paste. That or the GPU could be busted, and you can try reflowing with an air gun or something. I have the same problems as you and I haven't been able to find a solution yet :(
In mine the fans are not spinning in full speed and there is no green circle .. only green dot and the controller wont connect .. and nothing is shown on the tv screen . HELP PLS!
My mother board has a slighlty different lay out, what should i do? Look for the same letters and numbers you have?
It's probably not a slim then, is it the black 360?
@@TheDudeliestDude it is a slim, I have repaired a star wars slim following your video which had a different layout to other slims, ie resistors in different places for the fan
Soooo you dont need those transistors?
What awg gauge is the wire size?
can i do the fixing process two times in the same console??
Mine starts up and immediately red rings. No noises, nothing on screen. The only thing that I can do is use the power button to find the error.
Edit: The error is 0033.
Same, i have that same error code, do you know how to fix it
Found this in an old forum, never tried it myself:
_"For error 0033 it's needed to change the capacitor C7F2 close to usb front port, 820uF"_
Might be worth a try. Good luck!
Mine's hot the same problem but I don't know if it's the same problem
Can you plz give me the list of equipment need
What is rhe point of the resistors then? If you just short them out then why was this not in rhe original design? Sounds fake to me.
u fixed the problem by bridging the contacts ??
any way to fix without needing to be a repairman and open it up? :(
Buy a new xbox
Will this work on E 82 error code?
Yea bro it's like this if you have a wired controller plug it out and switch ur Xbox of for 3minutes and switch it back on
My Xbox 360 shows a solid red light shortly after I turn it on idk y
I just found mine after not using it for YEARS. It would start and the fan would spin ONCE then instantly turn red.
Wondering if you wanted to fix my 360?
Yeah can you send it to me
My fan doesn’t start (it just starts for half a second)
Same. I got error 0033 by using the power button.
Thanks bro my freind got this means a lot
Anytime💯💯
Guys
My 360 slim got rrod after the screen went from my game all the way to the screen being fully PURPLE
Now its being all pissy, what does it mean? Edit: it was the xcgpu needing reflow
Good day. Whats the diameter of the wire you are using?
Also, was there a need to replace all of those resistors if only two of them showed deviation from ¬0?
Hi i had the same issue .I stripped the xbox down and tested the row of resistors mentioned in this video.Found 1 resistor at 187 ohms i removed it and shorted with wire and retested . now the xbox is fully working HURRAH !!!!!!!! thanks so much for the advice!!!!!!
mine is not flashing and it has a red dot and a ring
I need your help with the original xbox 360 resistors. I’m have a problem in locating these resistors. Please respond
They are near the heat sink. Some 360s do not have them. What specific model do you have?
