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.

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

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
