RGH Jtag Tool download taken off?

[sk8man124]

why would i need to reflow/reball? the console ran perfectly before. theres no way the cpu/gpu would fail on me now

Its more likely that you disturbed the thermal paste when taken the board out of the chassis. Did you lift it by the heatsinks?

nope, although periodically the console would get 3rrod (i forgot which code) after being plugged in. id turn it off and on and it would work fine after.

Theres your reason and what you have to remember you nudge the console from its casing putting your coolrunner on . Just a guess did you remove board by coolers also you displaced the paste on cpu/gpu what little paste microsoft use

In all honesty, I've always removed my board from its metal casing by the heat sinks, and have never had a problem with it, given I did change the thermal compound about a week or so ago, but even before then, have even removed the heat sinks and put them back on with the original compound, and still booted fine, and ran for several ours no issue. Just sayin.

i always figured that was the wrong way to remove it. but yes now that you mention it the xclamps are very lose now. you think i should take them off and put on the bolts? i also have arctic silver. orr if it aint broke dont fix it?

Yes, and when you launch JTAG Tool the updater crashes (because the web site is down) so you cant even use the program.

I was having the same problem, but I just started using jrunner. It is a much better program in my opinion.

So when you unscrew the board from the pan there is pressure that is relieved. In some cases it could cause a broken solder joint. Also lifting the board by the heatsink could cause an issue. But the fact it has rrod before shows there is a problem.

 

[sk8man124]

seems like it'd be a more common problem then.... theres no better way to remove the board

 

[jeremy790]

There are many threads about the same issue. Also the reason you don'r see more is because allot of the boxes already have xclamp kits installed.

:facepalm: Are you serious? You took it apart and yes it could have failed on you.

 

[sk8man124]

... what do you mean took it apart? how else would i install the coolrunner? -.-

In short every time you disassemble the xbox there is a risk of rrod.

I just assumed the facepalm meant I did something completely idiotic.
