It seems that when i run my xbox for over 5 minutes or so and then shut it down by pressing the power button and then re pressing it to turn it back on it goes haywire. Now by haywire i mean when i reboot it mod enabled,disabled, or backup, it will frag but not with red and green but amber only instead. it works like this mod enabled=amber light on for a sec then frag and same again til the third time it stays amber and then shuts down. An example of this would be installing rom's on the hdd and then rebooting it so i can use the roms as an example.

Now my first thought is maybe the xbox is running to hot. due to the fact i have a 1.6 and im using an X3 the temps are not accurate. so i just uped the fan to 70 percent . well this didn't work

so then i tried using evox power off option instead of pressing button. well this works 25% of the time.

I also removed the top of the xbox case and put a big floor fan running on high but this seem usless.

What does seem to fix this issue is leaving box unplugged for about 10 minutes then repluging it in and all is fine til i need to reboot. I can play a game for 2 hrs and have no problems just when i reboot.

I also resoldered everything and used a magnifying glass to check all my solders. All seem fine actually they look almost as good as the tutorial. Im wondering if this could be a situation with the d0, or some had a bit of insight to what might be the error. What about the bios could they have been corrupted? I use x3 1892 v16

Three things that I would suggest:

1- upgrade to the latest bios
2- check your d0
3- check the pwr/reset pcb board for bent pins and solder bridges on the back.

hope this helps.

i have seen a couple different ways in tutorials about soldering the d0. do i try and have the wire connect with the hole on board or do i solder it to the red or silver part on the rebuild? as of now i have it touching the hole on the board and nothing touching the red pad on the rebuild.

Thanks

open tray?

ok i got a halo 3 ed 360 off ebay for like 46 shipped, it had the rrod, well i fixed that, its not rrod anymore, not yet anyways, well before i flashed the drive ( benq) every game loaded fine, now i get open try? i have tried searching but im not coming up with a good way to fix this?

maybe just buy a new drive and reflash it with jf and the hacked.fw? once in a great while it will play my games.



but i was planning on selling this, that is why i bought it.
