HELP

[alirajab]

I was fixing my xbox using the pot tweak method, which I have done many times before and also fixed many consoles with the issue in the neighborhood etc, and yes I did use a multimeter.
I was testing my console while the mother board was out but I accidentally placed the multimeter wires on the surface of motherboard they touched some circuit wires and I heard a sound from the power brick the system went off and I saw the dreaded RRoD, but I still am not able to figure out what's the issue and whether I should
1. try to fix it
2. buy a new xbox
3. buy a new power brick
4. throw the damn thing out of the window

Option 4 has appealed to me on many occasion. Does the xbox RROD when u try to turn it on? What is the secondary error code? What colour does the power brick go when u turn the Xbox on?

@Tajigamer2 it turns red when I turn it on and there is nothing on the screen so how can I find secondary error code?

EDIT: Yes it only does RROD when I turn it on

here you go.

to find your secondary error code:

• Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.
• Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.
• The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.

You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.

Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:

• All four lights flashing - 0
• One light flashing - 1
• Two Lights flashing - 2
• Three lights flashing - 3

@playingmax I got the error code its 0001

EDIT: How to fix this

i have fund that most 0001,0002,and 0003 can be traced back to mosfets on the mobo,just have to test em with a meter to find which ones bad.

 

[Taijigamer2]

0001 is a blown MOSFET. U must have shorted something when u dropped u'r multimeter. U will need to find which 'fet is blown and replace it.

 

[alirajab]

What do I do with the bad one?

What do I do with the bad one?

replace it with a good one seems logical?

most of us have spare boards lying round,im sure one of us can send ya some good ones if needed,depending on location.

well I live in Karachi, Pakistan. I don't see that any one of you live nearby or on the same continent, I'll check out the local xbox repair shop and if they have spare parts I'll buy it from them thanks any way!
