Repairing XBox RROD (Red Ring of Death)

[lukiusjohn]

only the mother board...  i definately like the idea of protecting the other parts with tin foil .

[lukiusjohn]

as a last resort... we took apart the xbox 360 took some soldering flux, a cheap liquid you can buy on amazon or ebay, and put it only around the gpu and cpu ... we cooked it in a 420 degree preheated oven on a cookie sheet on some planks of wood so that it wasn't on the cookie sheet... O man i thought it was ruined for sure , but that fix has lasted almost a year now and it is still going... that is the method he used to fix his ps3 also... lasting him 3/4 of a year before his crashed for good

When you let sit on griddle after using the heatgun. Is the griddle still set at 350 and you keep it on there at the temp for 35 to 40min?

[ftcskater07]

And medium heat is 500F I assume?
