xbox 360 fix error 0102 red light of death (part 2 out of 2)

[benny3214]

I thought u farted

[cactuscomics]

i tried this, but for like 5 minutes instead of the 20 and its working pretty good for me today. how long did it last for you?

[RusekZcisQ]

And how long it's working after that??? 

[septicsole]

hes baking the xbox 360. That can fry up your system and can last for only so long. After a while it stops working and your whole system gets fucked...

[LILSIK213]

so when you put back appart do you leave fan their

[frosty9595]

This is actually a very risky way to do it. First of all the electronics can only withstand about 200 degrees when powered on so this has high potential to fry the gpu. Also the gpu only can reach about 300 degrees with this method but the solder for the gpu melts at 450 degrees. Basically your warping the board just enough for the beads to reconnect. The right way to do it is to use a heat gun (20$ at the hardware store)

[31337kid]

I owe you an xbox pro now!!!

[TrentJason]

It really works! Even after several boots. I have elite with hdmi so the console auto turned off like 7min after the begining overheating process. I think it's somekind of overhearting protection function (ironic). Then I put fans back in place and turned the console on. Like nothing ever happened.

Thanks dude! I hope this fix will last as long as yours.

[TrentJason]

Well it didn't.

After I put the covers back on, the console turned on fine, but after like three mins the picture got frozen. After boot I see three red lights again. At least in this case it looks like the fix works as long as the console can breath freely.

Gonna try X-Clamp Fix next.

[xReMiiXHD]

im doing this not and my xbox sounds like a lawn mower

[CRAZYPSYCHOGURL2010]

here's a tip, never set ur system in the vertical position! when u do that all the wires sag toward the base which leads them dangerously close to the fan and CPU/ECU! Always lay them horizontally! That way they simply lay.

[N1teryder]

Dude your first video was 6 wasted minutes of crap. But thank you for posting part 2 which was the one with the actual fix. I just tried it, it worked right away. I let it cool down for 30min. I've been playing Halo 3 for 4 hours without a single glitch. Everything looks good, hopefully it stays that way. Thank you for your video

IT WORKSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[xG33Kx]

Another thing that would help is getting the GPU heatsink with the heatpipe, they have them on llamma.com but it's $25. I'm fixing my friend's 0102 soon, hopefully he does have the updated heatsink because i don't want to spend another $25 :P

[devhook23]

hey i tried this fix, and left for about 5 mins, then the fan started to go higher and higher, and i shut it off before it did anything to mess it up. is this normal? i am asking because this is not my xbox i am fixing

[shit89ful]

yhuu kant see shit!!!

[kevinskater13]

Still working?

[Tweetiex]

DUDE THANK YOU

it totally worked!

[waleedalfa]

thx..... its 100% works with me.... and i played nfs shift for 2 hours and everything is ok....

[222superdude]

so youre overheating the gpu, then letting it cool? with the fan unplugged? i tried another way which i heard was better, u leave the fan on the CPU, but block it form the gpu, cause the CPU has the heat detection and will shutdown b4 the gpu gets hot enough... but the fix didnt work, it lasted liek 10 mins

[kolodiazny]

I have had this problem, theres a temp fix just press your sync button 1 time let it flash then hold it while the xbox turns on.. BUT it could be caused by a faulty solder between the chip and the mother board, i would NOT recommend sending it to MS go to a xbox 360 mod/repairs shop and get ur CPU reballed (re soldered) it only costs 60$ and takes about a hour you will get PROPER thermal paste not the shit microsoft puts on it and the xclamps will be taken off and replaced

[Kris130393]

It worked thanks alot!

[jvwelzen666]

for now this fix is working for me my xbox was freezing in about 1 or 2 minutes ut is now alreadt running for 4 hours in a row

Thanks for the tip and see how long it lasts

[keiththeporkchop]

i did this last year, it lasted about a year, now it keeps red ringing even with the fix so it is not a fully permanent fix, but wat you can do is do this and trade it into a games shop and trade it in for a ps3, thats wat i did!

[thenewbug]

hey buskirkd....the 0102 and 0020 are actually different but with similar causes... the 0102 is the cpu/gpu bolts putting force on the motherboard sensors because of expanding and when it shrinks the sensors think there is too little force. the 0020 is the error for too much force exerted on the board usually happens when retightening screws after x clamp fix but can happen from an expanding gpu or cpu , also.

[MajinCengiz]

all repairs are bullshit  the xbox is just repair for some days

[m00s009]

thats rubbish!!!

[k00ksa]

this is called baking and it only works for so long. i did this along with a 12v mod and i still get it. i might have to attempt the heatgun fix.

basically wat he's doing is overheating the GPU but keeping the CPU as cool as possible. google baking a xbox 360 and you'll find out how to do it. and btw, the first videos was rubbish, it was 6 minutes of nothing while the actual "fix" video was two minutes?

[l14m333]

Also check out the heatgun fix with it... it does the same thing but more securer

[MiGustaTacoBell]

Unless the first thing you do when you get your xbox is remove the x-clamps you are almost guaranteed to have this problem in about exactly a year... if not this you will get the E74 which is just as bad. Save your self the hastle and just get rid of the x-clamps and some arctic silver and it will run cooler and most likely never break.

[devonlethbridge]

is it so the fan if takking air out or putting ait into the cooling thing.

[gamewithglory91]

i dont get why this fix it... does it have anything with soldering to do?

[llamajuice]

You're basically resoldering the joint using the 360's own heat.

[Pugragger]

if he did not remove the xclamps then the xbox hasnt been repaired propperly. this will only last for a few months in most cases.

[allovt]

I did exactly this. Has only worked for me 1 time. Now i just get the same error code/3 RROD

[chickenGLL]

ehm just to let you know the new xboxes with hdmi oder new chipsets shut down by itself before it overheat so dont use the towel trick anyways repair it only take the x clamps off , put new thermal paste on the chips and screw the heatsinks back on with new screws and washers ( you wont damage the mobo ) then dont put the fans on. start the xbox in 2 - 3 minutes its overheatet so let it cool out 15 - 20 minutes and put the fans on and start it so theres your working xbox ( permanently )

[jvalls10]

what size of srews and washers i need?

[chickenGLL]

5mm

[probizzle]

this did not work for me still have the rrod same error code

[probizzle]

have the same problem trying the same method as you as i speak

[beastatr6v2]

every one listen dont do the towel tricks again it breaks ur xbox because it over heats the cpu and gpu....

[dnangel1101]

hey dumass just try the tawol trick it works every time

[almartinez94]

that's the worst way to fix your xbox 360..

[N1teryder]

@almartinez94 what's your way? I would like to know the best way of how to fix my xbox. If you know of a better way, please let me know

[marekzurawek]

why don't you people just call microsoft repair centre? its easy. when my xbox broke i ordered repair. all cost me £60 (including tax and sending to and from MS). repair took just a week, after that i've got from MS a brand new console, 12 months renewed warranty and 1 month gold membership for free. i think it was worth it comparring to PS3 repair price (£150 and only 3 months warranty). and i'm not a fan boy, i just know what i can afford:)

[4EverApple1]

Does your xbox still work??? cus i have to do this cus one small solder connection broke in the gpu so you can hear it when you turn your xbox.

[MultiViews]

yeeeees it works OMG !!!!

[MoDzDoG]

i camp out for my xbox and got it on release date and i broke about 7 months ago they dont make them like they used to :^(

[bestdeafguy11]

dude, i need your help me with two red lights!

[wweandrunescape1]

i got 4 red lights on 360 ..wtf!!!!!!!!

[CubedXtreme]

This probably means your hd/av cable is disconnected try to make sure it is put in right.

[4EverApple1]

your xbox is overheated...

[MajinCengiz]

2 weeks it works good but then :(

[MT12XD]

fuck i've just bought gears of war, and that game gave me RROD

[44punkrock44]

haha my x box can play ps3 game after i setting my x box yehahaaa mgs4 here i come!!!

[xRac18x]

exact same problem :O ill try it

[Gytixas]

that overheat shit is dangerous :) after some times you will get 2 red lights when you turn on xbox even if it will be ice cold you will get 2 red lights and horrible sound of fan :)

[tanbrolo]

Can the original video poster provide an update? Has it been working OK for you all year?

I had the 0102 error twice last week. Fixed it once by overheating the GPU...only lasted a week. Fixed it next with the heatgun...it's been OK since (fingers crossed). I also did the penny trick, cut holes + added fans to the top, used Arctic Silver on the processors, and put cardboard on the top of the heatsinks so that air is better pulled THROUGH the sinks. Stock GPU cooling is terrible, IMO.

[gekko030]

is there a permanent fix for 0102

[Explorer360]

@gekko030 If there is I would like to know.

[rozziboy20]

@gekko030 yes you can buy it at walmart for 200.00 in form of a new box. j/k

utill ms gets its shit together we are stuck with this.

[dathugg06]

My brotha has ta take his bak again bc of da red light of death this is gonna b his 6 time sendin it to da peoples ta fix it dats fucked up he shouldn't have ta keep gettin it repaired but idk bout da way u did it cuzzo i mean not everyone xbox gets fixed dat way

[giglyboyo]

learn to fking spll

[ZerotakerZX]

that far not a panacea

[gekko030]

good end not with mine x360

[asobermindisawasted1]

Warranties do run out, and when it does, the consumers pay. My warranty just ran out for everything except rrod. And when that runs out, I'm going to rip the sticker off on purpose. I'll be sure to get my money back.

[LiveForVettes]

And what if your 360 is out of warranty? I'm on my fourth one and it just died... surprise surprise they want me to pay for it again... fix it for free my ass

[BIGASSCOCKS]

ay my xbox dosent come on the tv all that works is the sound do u know whts wrong

[farizzal]

ok its been working for a while, but it keeps giving me disc read errors and freezes when the disc is perfectly clean

any thoughts?

[farizzal]

ok i tried it again, still didnt work

might have another misunderstanding though

when u mean cool, do u want me to turn it off, or keep it on but put the fans in the right place?

[farizzal]

yea i tried it idk why but it didnt work

i put the fan back in and the intake after the cooling, is that why?

[buskirkd]

yep

[Ivanv714]

does your xbox still work?

[fishdweeb]

im trying it now thanks

[ShabbaNasty]

the PS3's suck, i got a PS3 free with a mobile phone contract and sold it, thats how much they suck!

[jerome70743]

dude get a falcon board they stay cool lol

[WtfAdventure]

So it's still working?

And how did you get just the GPU to overheat?

[215465]

doing this to my xbox now!

[pabzshot]

yeah me too mine was an elite and its new and still got red lights

[dizzers]

My xbox has just shown me the red light of death. Majorly pissed off.

[buskirkd]

watch my other vid on my other xbox error

0020

[buskirkd]

the xbox is still up and running

[itzjt900]

@buskirkd hey man is ur xbox still running. i know its been 2 years but can you answer

[rcracer90]

xbox is crap they should never do that i had

a ps3 for about 10 months and it only lock up

once

[Principedrz]

is it still working

[rcracer90]

o yeah it lock up more but thats all

[steoc2k7]

I had an xbox for 2 years and it only ever locked up from scratched games. when i got the rrod it was because i had it in a bad place for heat and it was an overheat error. i switched it off and back on and it's been working for a year and a half since.

[fishdweeb]

u suck i hate u 4 saying that

[click4dylan2]

instant fix: replace dvd drive. optional: get some more cooling fans (if u want led u can itll spice up ur 360 with lights!) that fit existing holes. even more optional: cut some area out of the thin plastic case good enough for an extra fan (bigger the better), add a mesh/grill so you dont get stuff caught in it. you should be good to go. another thing you can do is leave the top off and have a household fan blow on it, but it kinda gets ugly after a while.

[djoutcry]

first!

it's been 4 days now...how long did it last?

[buskirkd]

still working good no frezzing at all error 0102 and 0020 are the same thing i herd.

[blackyblacknblackier]

@buskirkd i made this to, and still now it only crashed one time, so after 4 days.

Man i need a new one, go shit some money for me xD
