WE NOW REPAIR OVERHEATING SYSTEMS WITH THE XCLAMP/REFLOW METHODS.

Is your XBOX 360 freezing on you? Is it giving you RED RINGS around the power button? Can't seem to get it to work at all? Not a problem. We at www.modchipman.com now provide a XBOX 360 Diagnostic/Repair service. For a low price of $10 for a diagnostic, we'll diagnose your system and let you know exactly what is wrong with it. If you choose to get a repair, that $10 will be used towards your repair costs. If you decide that the repair is not worth it, you're only out $10 + shipping. Definitely worth a shot to get your $300+ system working again.

Most common problems with the 360 are the red led rings around the power button. These tend to occur either at startup or during gameplay (system will freeze, then when restarting, you will get flashing red rings). Normally this can be a variety of problems, but commonly found to be an overheating issue which can be resolved with proper re-soldering and re-application of thermal paste. This tends to cost $99 to fix. If you are experiencing this type of problem, most likely our thermal paste/re-soldering service will fix your problem. Normally MS will charge $150 for this repair.

Please include your XBOX 360 system and your POWER BRICK. If you've opened your 360, please let us know if you've attempted any fixes yourself prior to us diagnosing the system. Please also be as detailed as possible with the symptoms you've experienced and the situations you experienced them in (i.e. I was playing halo 2 and it played for 15 minutes and then froze, when restarting, it gave flashing red lights).

POSSIBLE CAUSES TO YOUR 3 RED LIGHTS

Most people experience the 3 red lights and an error code of overheating. This overheating of the 360 can be caused by quite a few things;

• bad power brick (giving too much power to your system)

• bad placement of system (with no ventilation causing the air inside to not flow well)

• bad motherboard component manufacturing/application (cold solder joints, loose bga, etc)

• bad quality thermal paste used on the heatsinks

Bad power supplies have been known to cause this issue quite often. Unfortunately if you are at the point of the 3 red lights, most likely the bad power supply has already done its damage. If you are identified as having a bad power supply, we can not assure that your system will run for a long time with this power supply. What we suggest is purchasing a new power supply from a reputable source (walmart sells an ANTEC version of the power supply). This will insure that the repairs done by us will last a long time.

WHAT WE DO

The probability that a system experiencing all these problems getting repaired successfully is somewhat low. If it's one or two of those problems, the chances of the system lasting quite a long time is very good. The repairs we do are heat/time sensitive and we attempt to repair them and test them for at least 24-48 hours running games/movies. After this time if the system has not demonstrated any heating issues or freezing, we will consider the repair successful.

REPAIRS WILL TAKE 4-6 WEEKS ON AVERAGE

For overheating repair, we do quite a few operations to the system. We'll redo the thermal paste existing on the cpu/gpu with great quality Arctic Silver 5 (AC5) thermal paste for optimum efficiency in heat transfer. We will redo any loose/cold solder points that have affected the conductivity or basic operation of the processors or memory chips. Essentially, your system gets the following

- REFLOW ON THE MOTHERBOARD

- XCLAMP FOR GPU/CPU

these two heavy duty repairs will eliminate 95% of the problems with XBOX 360 overheating error codes.

WARRANTY

The overheating repair comes with a 30 day warranty. This applies to the repairs done by modchipman.com. If your system gets the 3 red lights and the error code is the same as before, modchipman will cover the warranty work on your system.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN YOU GET IT BACK

The repair that we do is a very time and heat sensitive repair. The system needs quite a bit of attention for the first few weeks. What YOU can do once you receive the system back is make sure it has proper ventilation, has a fully functional power brick and that the system is sitting UPRIGHT. We've noticed that upright systems tend to cool much better than ones sitting horizontally. These precautions can make your system last for quite a long time.

Please do not send us systems which have been flashed improperly or have been tampered with with modchips. We are providing this repair/diagnostic service for systems that are having documented problems through www.microsoft.com. Any systems that are sent to us for flash repair or modchip install repair will be returned without diagnostics. We have a "let modchipman mod your 360" service for modchip installs, please use that service instead of doing any mods on your own.
