How Easy is it to Fix the RROD or E74?

Is electrical tape good for this?

 

[theblur1]

Yes electrical tape is fine. I used it. A tiny bit will probably melt but thats not problem just carefully peel off most of the melted stuff.

Keep us updated

Well I reflowed it, and the error changed from 0020 to 0001, so I'll have to see what I can do.

Here is a link to all the error code problems and it says 0001 is a power supply problem.

I fixed the 0001, it was just the DVD drives power cable. I tried to open the drive, and it wouldn't so I wiggled the cable around, and it worked when I rebooted it. But now it's back to the 0020. I'm not sure if I found a missing resistor? It apears as if there are two missing under the GPU. The picture was taken with the ethernet, power and A/V slots facing me (so the bottm of that picture). I circled where they apear to be missing in red. Have a look:

 

[PS3andCOD]

Is this picture easier to see? These resistors or whatever they are are hard to see to begin with, they arn't even the size of a BB, or a pen nib.

 

[PS3andCOD]

If that is something missing, I'm gonna need to know exactly what it is so that I can try to replace it.

 

[theblur1]

Try re-flowing again.
Im not too sure if the resistors are part of the problem because 0020 is sometimes caused by damaged resistors..
But definatley reflow again. I had to twice when i fixed mine

 

[PS3andCOD]

Alright. I am definatly thinking that those are missing, because if there were some there, then the resistors would be aranged symetricaly. Do you know what those resistors are so I can replace them?

 

[PS3andCOD]

I have found something about someone geting a 0003 error when they knocked one off of the cpu! Thats almost exactly the same as I have! I think I need to find out what these are and replace them.

 

[theblur1]

Look around on google or other forums and im suree youll be able to find something

 

[PS3andCOD]

I have been looking around, maybe I'll need to make an acount on xbox scene and post this.

 

[PS3andCOD]

Someone on X-box scene says that he has 4 of those missing without a problem, and he says I should reflow again, and use some liquid flux.

 

[theblur1]

aha just like i said. mine took two reflowing..s?
goodluck

What about the black screws near the x clamps? I don't have them, and I've heard that the xbox can sense them.

Are you talking about the 8 black Xclamp screws? If you replaced the hardware with Screws and washers instead of using the stock ones you don't need those black ones. The xbox definitly cannot detect if those are attached or not.

Alright, thanks.

 

[IrishStyle]

No worries, good luck getting it sorted.
