my friend has an xbox 360 ms28 samsung drive, modded with iprep.. (same setup as I did on my system).. now all of a sudden when he tries to play a game it goes in about a minute then completely freezes.. there are no error codes coming up, no leds changing to red.. just freezes.. this happens on all his originals and backups. but if he puts in a movie, it will run through the whole thing just fine.

I'm not sure what the problem could suddenly be since the originals and backups have been working since the mod was done. The games load far enough to load the saves and start playing.. the freezeing is at different points of game play but usually with a min to two min. don't know what what could be wrong hardware wise since it's initially loading everything, and running the movies for a couple hours with no issue. so I don't think any hardware issues are there and no overheating happening..

any suggestions??? thanks

is there anyway to find out what the hardware issue? the lights, if they start coming up, are pretty veg.. the warranty is void since we did the mod, had to take the sticker off to get inside the case. hoping there's a way to figure this out so we can replace the one part instead of having to buy a new 360.. thanks

lawdawgs tut is probably the easiest to do as it requires no drilling where as rjbtech does, search xbox scene and you'll find the tuts and how to get your error codes from the three red lights :)

we've tried to get error codes, but when the system freezes up nothing happens.. the lights don't change, and the codes won't come up.. unless we're doing the error codes wrong, just holding sync and pressing eject.. is there any special timing that needs to be done for it to come up? we've just tried after the system freezes and upon bootup
