Hi, I was recently fixing my xbox 360 slim trinity board, but instead of fixing it I caused a bigger problem :/ I was removing the x clap to put new thermal paste down on the processor and during this the screw driver slipped. (I know should've used needle nose pliers, but I was in a rush to get it fixed and didn't know where a decent pair was.) Anyways I broke three resistors I guess can't really tell. Here is a pic of them if this helps. I really would appreciate it if someone could tell me what size they are and where to order new ones. I really would like to have my 360 rolling again.

Thanks!

I don't want to sell the board because I can fix it. Plus I would like to have the Console Id because I have a lot of license transfers.

Why are you trying to rush taking off the X Clamp? Was the console working fine before you tried and 'Repair' it?

Edit: Also have you tried and boot it up again?

no the xbox was not working before I took it off it was over heating the thermal paste was pretty much burnt on when I took it apart. And Yes I've tried booting it up again red dot of death. Its just because the caps are missing if I could find them or something I could fix it.

I feel your pain sir!

Okay well it seems like it could be a few things here.

Of course your capacitor.

Your heatsink is not making good contact with the GPU/CPU.

Console may need a Reflow.

I have a few broken slim consoles but they're not free. But I really think it's the caps.

Exactly, I rather have waited a few days, spent a few bucks on an X Clamp Removal tool, then to break caps off the board.
Essentially he's going to spend as much time trying to find the parts, and repairing it, if not more time, then if he would've just been patient and ordered the right set of tools. I learned the hard way on to be patient. Now it's rare when I ask for help.

*Patience is the Key.

This is all well and good but we don't know the OP's skill set when it comes to soldering. He may have been impatient and broke some off but that doesn't mean he can't repair the damage. He just needs someone with the relevant info to help him along the way.

I'm really good with soldering I actually work on slot machines for a living. I just need the info to repair it or if someone has a board laying around that is ruined and is willing to send them to me I am willing to pay for shipping.

If you're south UK I can give this a shot for you, I've had a few Xbox's like this come through my hands, and as much of a ball ache it can be, its sucks not having a 360 :/
