Got a problem wondering if anyone has had the same thing happen, i went to play my 360 the other week and nothing would load up on the screen it just has red lights flashing around the circle

i looked in the manual and it said to check my av cable, check for what tho it looks like a cable to me lol :D

i haven't called anyone about it yet just wanted to know if anyone else has had the same problem.

  • 3 weeks later...

yeah its a huge problem... even the brand new pack that came out people are still getting the RROD (red ring of death) problem straight out of the box... microsoft still hasnt fixed this issue, so i would stay away from 360's until they do fix it... apparently the only thing the did was use a better clamp on the GPU or something, but it doesnt work

it is a very common problem and ms make out its a problem with heat.... thats not entirely accurate the main problem is the bga grid array they have moved to for the chips and this error is only on the video chipset it was also a common problem in the macs when they moved to this arrangement.

ive fixed a few of these errors successfully to date with a few little tricks not sure how permanant it is but i have done over 5 consoles the same way and all still work today :down: i guess they have updated the heatsink clamp to do this exact thing but still is only a bandaid fix problem is just a heatsink clamp wont apply enough pressure to help rectify the problem

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
