Aren't these fixes meant to be temporary? Seems like you either need to send it in or time to get a new one.

Have you tried baking the board yet? It will also only be a temporary fix like baking GPU's but it may get you back up and running for a few weeks.

hmmm baking might help me but i wouldn't know how to do that so is there like a thread on how to do that?
EDIT: and obviously i cant send it back if i did all those fixes not to mention i only did them because the warranty expired on it

this 360 is so old it dont even have a HDMI port on it and was made in 2006 ...so old i think its from the 1st batch

This may help;

I disassembled the 360 down to the bare board and put it in the oven. That's right….my oven. I put it in at room temp and baked it up to 375F for 20min. This was my pre-heat stage. There are several parts on my product that require pre-heating at the assembly plant so this made sense to me. I took the board out and stuck it in the microwave in an attempt to retain as much heat as possible---the microwave is a very small space---no I didn't turn it on

Then I raised the oven up to 450 and monitored it via the dial until the temp was around 425F; this only took a few minutes. I stuck the board back in and waited 3 minutes. I checked the temp of the oven and it had reached close to 450F by then. I thought to myself that by now (3minutes) the board had probably just gotten back up to 420 degrees or at least close since I had it cooling off in the microwave. I waited an additional 2 minutes near 450 degrees. My thought was that in those last 2 minutes the board temp may have gone from 420 to the magical 430-442 and hopefully causing a re-flow of the BGA solder balls.

I took the board out and let it cool off to room temp. MAN did it stink the kitchen.

Grabbed from here.

im sorry but i need a little bit more details and a pic or 2 and i wouldn't know how to monitor the temp as i got one of them OLD ovens so temp monitoring would be useless
and i need to know the exact way to do this and not some estimated because theres always the risk of burning the pcb

bump ,anyone know how to bake a 360 board?

1. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
2. Stick in microwave (do not turn it on >:|) and retain heat.
3. Raise to 450 (as close as you can get to 435) heat for 3 minutes
4. 2 more minutes at 450 (435 if you can [my oven can do this])
5. Let sit for like an hour to cool down to room temperature
6. Re-assemble.

I'm trying this wheni get home btw

And to put it in the oven, I'd try A. on a cookie sheet or B. On 4 pieces of tin foil over a cookie sheet.

well i did a temp fix by removing all fans (all 9 of them) and letting the overheat error come up and it works... but for how long(knocks on wood)
