apparently i have a mother board error, i just wanna know if there is anyway to fix this?
plz help
Suggestion:
Hi, it has probably come down to one of the major components coming loose because of constant movement of the motherboard due to overheating.
You have 2 options really, try these fix it yourself tips first if you like or use a xbox 360 guide which will show you exactly how to fix any error on the xbox 360 permanently.
OK here we go.
1. You should first open your console using a poker to remove the outer shell.
2. Disconnect all wires (make-sure power is switched off) and move your DVD drive.
3. Next to be removed is the motherboard inside along with the fan.
4. All you need to for this next step is to simply turn the motherboard over onto its back.
5. Now this is where you need to find and locate where the GPU & CPU are. Simply find the heat-sink and gently loosen it and you should then see both of the above mentioned.
6. Both the GPU & CPU are required to be cleaned well enough to be called brand new again.
7. Have you ever heard of a substance called arctic silver compound? Don’t worry, you can find this stuff in almost every computer repair shop. It is around the same price as a candy bar and all you do once you have it is to apply onto the GPU itself. (Always do extremely carefully)
8. Go and have a cup of coffee, because you need to wait for the compound to set. This takes around fifteen minutes, once done you need to put the nylon washers x2 back onto each heat sink screws, proceed by putting the screws back onto your motherboard. Remember to add more washers on top of those screws again.
9. A delicate job of placing the heat-sink back on top the screws is required, once done fasten back down.
10. You’re nearly done. Put everything back in its place by reversing what you have done and enjoy playing your Xbox 360 once again.
Now if you don’t really fancy doing all this then there are 2 more options for you. You could pay Microsoft $140 to have your Xbox 360 3 red lights fixed and then wait 6-8 weeks before you will even see it again.
Or just fix Xbox 360 red ring of death yourself in 1-2 hours and do it in a much cheaper way (AT HOME) by using a step by step video guide at the link below.
Happy gaming!
