Ok i was repairing my brothers Xbox its a 1st gen xbox so i really didn't have much hope but i got it to work but there is one problem.

The fan is blowing the air out the back of the xbox not towards the heatsinks. Its blowing air out the back and the Xbox will 2 red ring (overheat) in like 30 seconds. i don't know if this is normal for a 1st gen xbox but u don't know what to do? any help is appreciated thanks.

If the box powers off within 30 seconds the heatsinks are not good positioned OR
the thermalpaste is too thick onto the chips.

EDIT: got the secondary Error code 0011

E05: CPU over heating - If you are receiving this error after disassembling your console make sure to all 8 of the heatsinc screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink holes.
