- We're throwing it back to 2007 here... and trying out the infamous Xbox 360 bolt mod! Btw, I recommend NOT trying this at home - it's good for a temporary fix, but long term it'll make your Xbox 360 worse. BUT, to be fair, doing a bolt mod is better than the Xbox 360 going in the dumpster. Let me know if you've ever tried the bolt mod!

Who knew iFixit was still selling bolt mod kits in 2024... 😂
Anyone else ever attempted a bolt mod?
I knew
I tried the bolt mod on about 6 xbox 360s. They all worked but failed again weeks later except for one which happens to be a launch console purchased the day it was released. This console still works to this day.
The 0102 is a dead gpu, the only way to fix that is a gpu replacement, use xenonlibrary to get the real codes and what they mean, sites like xex are not good and give false information. Heat guns and bolt mods were debunked, the fact ifixit is still selling this stuff is bad marketing cause it is still killing 360s beyond proper repair to this day. The GPUs in the earlier phat models have a defect where they fail if they stay above 70c for too long, causing the issue you saw with 0102, for the bolt modded one it probably broke the gpu from the pressure alone.
I used to do the bolt mods on 360’s years ago. Think I had one come back within a month to be fixed again. I think the last 360 I owned was one I bolt modded and it worked fine, personally! Don’t know if I was doing anything differently than anyone else, but I didn’t have return customers. Lol
@@zanarkandace6821 they probably didn’t come back cause they were out of warranty, that’s why these are false positives for gpu failure, once the warranty is out what’s the incentive to have to pay for it to be fixed again
The fact iFixit sells bolt mods is crazy because a bolt mod does anything but fix your console
it makes it irreparable. Warps the board, and the GPU so much, the bumps start contacting again, with extreme pressure on them. It's a bodge at best.
I've got a 360 that's got the bolt mod on it and it's still working after 12 or 13 years. My kids played almost everyday.
You could totally use a photo for your profile picture! You needed the Xbox Live Vision camera to do it.
Not going to lie I don't think I could ever get bored watching Jacob review used XBOX 360's. 💀😂
Same that's what I look forward to the most. I love when he does these videos
I did the bolt mod to mine 10+ years ago. The bolt mod works just fine as long as you don't go crazy on tightening the bolts. I used plastic washers instead of metal. I recently refreshed the thermal paste and added heatsinks to the other chips and did the RGH mod. Runs smoothly like it did when it came out the box.
not me with 3 boltmodded falcon rgh's all still working to this day and had them for well over 7 years
Since my main experience with 360s is the use of a mate's Elite, a borrowed Slim and my own Slim, even though another mate got a 360 in preperation for Halo 3's release, it feels weird, despite how many of these I've seen, to see an Xbox 360 without an HDMI port! Am I the only one? Am I jus crazy? Does anyone else agree? Also, I don't even know if there's any point me entering for any free games since I'm in the UK and I seriously doubt any of them will be PAL Region! Unless there's DS... can't see it, though...
I'm just going to put a little tiny bit of thermal paste on here because this is a tiny chip ... *Adds the largest of all dots to it*. You should really use a spreader and keep the layer of paste as thin as possible. Or use liquid metal if you aren't working with a copper contact plate. Liquid metal can corrode copper over time and cause permanent damage.
It corrodes aluminium, sir
5:56 I thought an airplane was next to his office
And I thought the PS4 fans were bad 😂
Dude, learning a lot from you and other channels about the 360. Thanks for making me confident enough to try to repair my old 360 Elite. Bad benq drive and overheating
6:02 welcome to xbox airlines 😂
Tiny thicker hair on top lika a .001 variant
If the usual issue for these machines is bad solder joints, could they be reballed? Obviously not a profitable endeavor, but just curious if that would be the proper way to fix this issue.
The proper way to replace these now is the replace the entire gpu or cpu. But yeah there’s basically nobody that does this (very few) and it’s too expensive to be worth it for most people. Just buy a Jasper is usually the answer
@@jrob0021 does that mean buying a brand new chip? Or taking a donor? Would that be because the chip gets damaged due to the bad solder joints?
It's not bad solder joints - it's bad solder *bumps*. Reballing does nothing to fix the issue because the solder balls connecting the GPU to the board are not the problem. A GPU replacement is the only true fix
@@Harmonic14 OHHHH, ok that's very interesting.
im a xbox one lover i have a pc and a xbox one connected to a tv the console is in a cabinet connected to the tv you can see the cords comeing out of the cabinet
No one cares
I really hope that you fix other consoles from texas and hampton haul like that backwards compatible ps3 with YLOD
i think you had the wrong intro there jacob
No I didn't. The first 2 consoles are from the texas load
why is this coming out so late then? xD@@jrob0021
its just fun to fix the xbox360 i have one too same issue , everyone went to ps3 because of that issue .
I love your vids!
0:37 Don’t Cry The Xbox 360 Is Alright Don't go (why, oh why, oh why, oh why?) The Xbox 360 Said Don’t GO Oh Why Got to lose a Xbox 360 just to have a Xbox Don't cry (don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
Don't go (why, oh why, oh why, oh why?) so don’t go Xbox 360 Rest in paradise Xbox 360 hahaha said the Xbox 360 is that funny but dawg but maybe the Xbox 360 is Maybe I'm just out of your league yeah that all happens to us but we just see an Xbox 360 just pass on we just have to move on unfortunately. When it gets red ring of death so sad Rest In Peace to the Xbox 360s that passed own in this video. The Xbox 360s Got Took The L Am I Right take the l from these 360s Aye.
Thermal paste 🤤
@violezmentos LMAO😂💀
That ifixit kit is cool!
No its not. Not at all
How do the 360s get the red ring of death?
from naughty gamers playing their consoles too much
@@pepsidude8919My 360 is pretty loud. Is that normal or should I open it up? Thanks
@@ItsJeepb You might want to open it up just to be on the safe side probably and you're welcome too. I had a PS3 that I got from Amazon many years ago, which was one of the PS2 backwards compatible models, and since it was a used console obviously, I remember the fan on that PS3 being very loud although it worked for a short period of time before it finally got the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) which is similar to the Xbox 360's Red Ring of Death problem.
@@pepsidude8919 I have the slim model. Is that still Susceptible to the Red ring of death?
@@ItsJeepb I've heard of some of the Slim models of the Xbox 360 getting the Red Ring of Death too since it is possible for them to still get them, but the Slim models don't seem to be as prone to the Red Ring of Death as the original models since the Red Ring of Death seems to happen more on the original models than the Slim versions. I have an Xbox 360 Slim model myself too which I've had now for almost eight years already since I first got it back in the summer of 2016 for my birthday from GameStop and I haven't had any problems with it so far, even eight years later almost.
Xbox 360 best xbox?
Can you say hi?
bye
Really
When’s the onlyfans
Bolt mod isn’t a real fix. It’s kinda horrifying you did it lol
6:00 That 360 sounded like it was getting ready to blast off 😂😂
Xbox 360 airlines
Hey, better than spirit airlines
Yea, before sonys ps4 airlines we had Microsofts 360 jets
Bot
I have an Xbox 360 console myself too, but mine is an Xbox 360 S model and those models aren't as prone to the Red Ring of Death as the older models.
They actually are more prone than the originals. The last 2 revisions of the original models, Jasper and Tonasket are the most reliable revisions of the Xbox 360.
@@vinyminotaur2694 I thought the Slim models were more reliable though. I'm not sure what version of the Slim I have, but I've had mine now for almost eight years already and I never got the Red Ring of Death or anything on it so far.
@@vinyminotaur2694 I got an Xbox 360 slim in 2012 and it didn’t pass on one me aye aye
Lies. I've seen multiple red ringed S consoles, and I've seen more Phat consoles that actually work. Any console built or repaired after mid 2008 is a tank, probably more reliable than the slim because the CPU and GPU are separate components on phat models
@@superstar64 mines from 2010 model
you was about to do a mod you knew was temp and sell it as working?
"RIP Felix" 's channel.
Boltmod is a band aid. Elite needs a new GPU. 1st Xenon needs some of the areas check to make sure there is correct readings coming from post, CPU clock, RST, and PLL. Most likely a failing CPU.
3:40 Cool free games right….But i am German and those games are region locked
my 08 xbox 360 fan does the same but no overheating. it runs forza 2 like its nothin'
1. Too much horrible clickbaiting
2. BOLTMOD?!
Im unsubbing
My sister says you look like Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers 💋💋
fun fact my xbox 360 i still have to this day has survived two red rings deaths, somehow magically recovered from both incidents. i just turned it off and on a couple of times and continues to run very well all these years later.
“You might as well smash that like button as well” 😂
Wait I thought this was the Hampton haul not the Texas load. Intro got me confused
These are old Texas load consoles. At least the first 2 were
I've watched you on and off for a while, u talk so smooth and nice and your funny moments always get me laughing so I just wanna say thank u, love the videos 💛
If done properly the bolt mod can last for years. I fixed hundreds of 360's for a handful of years back then using the bolt mod. I still have 4 falcon boards that I fixed using the bolt mod which were infamous for the rrod. I also modded them with rgh chip's and they still work amazingly today. I have one of them sat right next to my xbox series.
Is there anything else you do to consider it done properly? I've also seen bolt modded consoles last a long time (the camo one in the video was actually bolt modded already and started working later lol), but I've also seen the ones that last for a month or 2. Either way, I see doing a bolt mod as at least being better than throwing the console away (which I imagine happens pretty often now)
@@jrob0021 yeah your right some would only last a while longer, luckily I had more successful fixes more often than not. I had several of my own that just would not take to the fix but what can you do lol. 🤷♂️
I did nothing in particular other than taking care to reflow the cpu and gpu properly and use good thermal paste/pads. I used to fix them for a local pc shop but used a rework station with a regulated heat gun. If they did have to come back I would often fix them again for free.
Some people used to use regular paint stripper heat guns, some people also used wrap them in tin foil to "protect the components" which was wild. I definitely wasn't one of those people when I tried fixing my first Xbox I promise. 😅
all the bolt mod does is bend the motherboard, you are fooling yourself if you think its a long term fix, if it worked for you you where just lucky
@@DavidWhitley if you don't do it right and tighten the bolts too much. Also a lot of people only used regular washers and would tighten the bolts right down which ment there was no give and yes as you said just bends the board ultimately resulting in failure again down the line.
I did the mod using washers but I also used a tork screw driver as to not over tighten plus nylon spring washers which helps stops the board from bending or causing uneven pressure.
I did it for a long while not just for fun but for a local shop so although not all fixes would be permanent the majority of the ones I fixed lasted a long while after including the few I still have.
@@Saberbeatsvr Just like a minute ago I wrote about my very long lasted bolt mod (actually it should still be in running condition and it was release day model, no ie. hdmi or wifi etc) , but I didn't do it exactly like virtually all instructions mentioned. I sanded washers for some reason. I think they were bit too high or something. It could've been stainless washers or something. Anyway I measured my stack and gap and thought it wasn't good enough and tweaked it bit.
a false 0022 seems to be the fans failing or the motherboard getting to hot on startup, if you just blow cold air into the system on startup it will work fine. Very strange, a lot of xbox360's have this issue too including my 2011 slim.
You actually can take pics on the 360 for setting a gamer profile, either with the Kinect or the Xbox Live Camera.
Can you explain why I’ve had the red ring multiple times but it always works one rebooting?
The Xbox 360 is still a great console to this day and I really hated that RROD though 😞
I’m so loving this type of videos. The fat Xbox 360 wasn’t a reliable console at all, and those attempts to solve heat problems. Huge story, this will remain in gaming history forever
Fortunately modern Xbox’s don’t have so much problems
This isn't true. The last 2 revisions of the fat models, Jasper and Tonasket, are the most reliable revisions of the Xbox 360. They are even more reliable than Slims and Es. It also wasn't caused by overheating, it was caused by faulty GPUs that were later fixed in the late Falcons which are from about July of 2008 and above until late 2008 when Jaspers were introduced.
Feeler gauge the motherboard gauge the washers then match to chip height then attach thermal pads to back of motherboard on ram spots and back of CPU / GPu and on top on ram and South bridge I also put one on the DVD drive chip but you don't have to , A ... Xbox ,360 NITR0
The motherboard has to flex just a tiny tiny tiny bit to kiss the heatsinks if you do it right / 3+ years daily gamer then paste clean and maintenance to continue
Nice video! Keep it up Jacob!
Applying more pressure onto the processors does not fix faulty thermal monitoring.
I got a Modernwafare Xbox 360 edition very rare and expensive now…
It's ifix it, how are you surprised it's good quality? Lol
I did that with my old fat 360 and my games started to freeze in an hour of playing.
Texas load episode, and you are wearing the hampton haul shirt?
3:20 nice lol 😂
The one that was overheating reminded me of my OG PS3. Does the exact same thing, the fan ramps up to maximum within seconds and then it shuts down. If there was anything similar I could at least copy my old save files.
I've had a few PS3 systems too that also did the same thing and a couple of them even got the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD). They were also all backwards compatible models as well since they were able to read and play PS2 game discs. I don't know why, but it always seems like for some reason, the original models of the PS3 are more prone to the YLOD, especially the ones that are backwards compatible with PS2 games which is also a shame too since those are the only models of the PS3 that can physically play PS2 game discs.
@@pepsidude8919because of a gpu defect, the same failure as the 360
@@Josh-Barnett Yeah. Those are the only models though of the PS3 that it seems to happen on mostly.
@pepsidude8919 I can't remember when exactly but I think around like 08 sometime fixed 65nm gpus were produced. If you have one that has the ylod can't go wrong with a 40nm Frankenstein
@@Josh-Barnett I see then. I still have a working backwards-compatible PS3 model though which I've had now for almost six years already and so far, I never got the YLOD on it yet. I also got that particular model of the PS3 from Amazon in used condition, but I guess whoever had the console before me must have repaired the inside of the system or something and took pretty good care of it too in order for it to last this long so far.
Texas Load? Isn't this from the Hampton Haul
Thanks for the credit! I just ordered Halo 4! :D

how dare you mess up !!
im joking lol
If the bolt mod is only a temp fix why bother?
6:02 the face lmaoo
the 360 was such a good console it so sad that the store is being discontinued this yr
I agree too. I also wonder what's going to be with the Xbox 360 by next year since I actually discovered that the internal calendar/clock on the Xbox 360 console only goes up to the year 2025 for some reason which is already next year. Microsoft should have probably released some sort of system update or something for the Xbox 360 that would allow the internal clock on the system to go beyond the year 2025 since most game consoles usually go up to at least 2099 or something.
no its not
also he said texas load instead of hampton haul yet the texas load series is over
@@JuniorsChannel11 He was actually talking about the Xbox 360 game marketplace being shut down later this year.
Tbf it’s been supported for nearly 2 decades but still sucks
Who knows when’s the Xbox one store next lol

Awesome 😂😂😂😂awesome entertaining 😂😂😂awesome entertaining
X clamps are better than bolts . Bolts are bad .
I did bolt mod on my x0 years ago. Bought release date box from friend in need of cash and it failed like was it in 6months but didn't have receipt for warranty. So I made bolt mod, but iirc I didn't do it like that. I removed the x-clamp, but I'm 99,9% sure I did put some washers between heatsink and board so it essentially couldn't flex even after heating. Wrapped console in towel after that and left it running for like 10mins and let it cool. Yes, brutal but it worked for like two years quite frequent playing. In fact it still somewhere in my parents house and when I stopped using it, it was still working. Man what hairdryer that thing was. Insanely loud fans 😀
*edit* Oh there was washers in vid too after all. Now recalling that I think I measured that gap and had to carefully sand those washers to correct height. I think they were bit too thick to have nice pressure on cpu. I don't know if was metric thing on washers or what but I think it didn't seat correctly if done exactly like in some instructions. Something like that or I used stainless washers or something. It's been ages
Could someone explain them implications of Microsoft shutting down the Xbox 360 store? Won't be able to update it? Obviously won't be able to access any of the content.
The white 360 after the RROD should have some broken sound, and the broken sound plays when you try to avoid an RROD to easily
That thumbnail of the broken xbox 360, that is what this 2nd n64 console I have is about to look like, been trying to sell it for $70 dropped it down to $60 still couldn't sell it I'm about to take the hookups, controller, game and jumper pak and bust the rest.
If you had a Xbox 360 camera, you could photograph yourself and put a picture of yourself.
Bro says its Texas load video
**Wearing Hampton haul shirt**
Quick question, do thermal pads as thick as this actually transfer any heat, just curious
I wish for 1-4 hours video fixing xbox 360's!!! :DDDDD
"Fixing"???????
????????
jacob r
im in your closet
that's scary
The best way to fix it is to reflow everything on the board and it works like brand new with better thermal paste too
I got a 360 that has both the bolt mod and the fan mod. It's loud as a jet engine but it runs. I did end up just buying a slim to play instead
Hey Jacob! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of the different motherboards.
I was wondering what motherboard has the best track record? I just wanted to buy some extra 360’s just in case I get the dreaded red ring and want to improve my chances of always having one to play just in case.
Thanks in advance!
Jasper
I did a Bolt Mod for M
Cuando le puedes comentar lo que sea en español porque de todas formas no le van a entender
I own a Falcon Xbox 360 and i just cleaned the fans and the heat sinks and when i can i will surely change the thermal paste of the CPU and the GPU to make it live for other 16 years (its from August 2008)
Don't do anything else. This console has a reliable gpu
I’ve been into collecting for a while but just recently got my first console which is an nes, which I had to fix. So if there are any of those 360’s that you wont ever do anything with let me know, and I’d love to get my hands on one and fix it!
Don't bother. The only way is a gpu replacement. You want a red ringed 360 to play with, find a late 08 console which most likely has a power issue
Joined whatnot! Can’t wait to play Deathloop! Thank you!
let's goo I love deathloop
Good ol texas load
What made the Texas Load come back
ay does whatnot ship to romania?

This video sucked you didn't show anything relavent.. Just complaining.. not actual process.. or temp levels . This must be for kids to watch.. not actual tech enthusiasts.

Hi
The bolt mod did 'fix' some 360s for a while, but IMO it was a better mod as a preventative tactic. I did a bunch of work to my Jasper MB 360 back in the day, including a bolt mod and the better GPU heatsink from the Zephyr generation. Zero issues on that console to this day.
Why??? The bold mod will just destroy it! It is already more reliable than the slims and now your just warping the board
@@Josh-Barnett Exactly the opposite. The X clamps warp the board. When you do it preventively, you don't overtighten it like this guy. Mine's been going strong for 12 years now.
@danielschulz4930 no the bolts warp the board. If your board is warped then that's your tault. The x clamps work fine and were never the problem
@danielschulz4930 stop saying "ItS beCaUSe hE OVertIgHteNEd iT". The bolt mod will always warp the board, no matter what because unlike the x clamps there's no room for the board to flex slightly when it heats and cools and it warps the board. That's why the heatsink feels loose with the x clamps
@@Josh-Barnett You can have that opinion if you want! Picking a fight with me over the Internet about something so inconsequential isn't interesting to me. Have a good one!
Why is there a shipping fee and tax in ur store thing on whatnot, im in canada btw
