Did You Get An Rrod? Which 360 Version?
« Reply #195 on: September 06, 2009, 04:44:00 AM »

Got one on my falcon a month ago and thought wtf?. switched it off, changed the location (front of an open window) and the rod was gone, but i got no picture and no sound. after a couple of minutes i figured out that the hdmi-port had died ;( now using a vga-cable and no problems since. suggestions on how to revive my hdmi?


and there should be an option to add a vote to this poll everytime a box got a rod. i have 3 now und voted only for 1 (i think)

My Falcon has RROD'd twice.

First 'fix' was the memory chip heat sink 'penny fix'.

The one I finished yesterday was a hybrid x-clamp removal hack (through-bolted the sinks to the outer shell).  I hope that lasts longer than the penny hack, which was good for about 3 weeks.

I voted Opus but I think it is actually a Jasper (or maybe a Falcon - in retrospect I probably should've checked that out before voting and posting - doh!). My g'friends son has had it just over 12mths (so warranty was out) and it stopped reading disks. After some hesitation I opened it and tweaked the laser (as seen on Youtube) and it worked a treat! But within a week got the dreaded 3RROD constantly for about 24 hours (would not boot at all - tried it numerous times). After reading up I went to check the exact code (before pulling it apart again) and it is now working fine again - wtf?!? Oh well, shouldn't complain I guess, just have to keep my fingers crossed. No doubt its only a matter of time though!

There is a 3 years warranty for the RROD. Check the Xbox website support for more informations on how to return your XBox for free to Microsoft within 3 years from date of purchase.

My Xenon RROD'd about 8 months ago. Even though I know it won't last I did the x-clamp fix and have gotten at least a few hundred hours of game play out of it so far with no problems.

Then I got a new elite in dec 2008 and it was in the shop inside of 3 weeks because it wouldn't recognize disks in the drive anymore.

So the trick to xbox longevity is to have a life. :-p

or a cooling system that works.

i saw that and just had to reply, anyways i posted to say i had another jasper go 3rlod, the first 2 whent 0001 this one is 0002, they really need to fix the problems with power on that board. i recently fixed about 20 3rlod (0020/0102) falcons, so as expected they dont stay cool enough either, cant wait untill jaspers start going 3rlod (0020/0102)...lol
