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.

grr what a sob, and it isn't even under warranty anymore.. would they still do it for free :D

actually i just read it seems they extended the warranty to 3 years for this problem so there still may be hope ;)

and thanks for the info ferni.

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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
