thanks for the advice

just been cleaning up my chips with tommy hilfinger aftershave xD, alcoholbased that is.

smells nice actually.

will report back to see if it works.

you sure coz when i coldboot, it starts rapidly speeding up like in 30 seconds

besides re-applying thermal conduct, is not required according to that website.. it matters only 1 degree which is nothing

but that's according to a german "expert "

Purchased a broken 360 the other day

Fixed it with similar ways as on x-clamp-fix.com

didn't replace the thermal paste, and add those squishy things to the back of the motherboard as well. In a way this website provides a weird way of fixing the 3ROD, but it worked very well for me.

While removing x-clamp, my screwdriver "shot loose" and cutted off this little thing, from which i think is a resistor. hehe

I squished my butts together, thinking i had ruined the unit.

After having it overheat, and cool down, the 360 now works like a charm again.

However, there's something REALLY disturbing going on. The fans are horribly noisy (even when it's cold booting). And they weren't like this after i had "revived" the unit, by having it powered on with a plastic bag on top of it for about half an hour

Here's the video about it:

Could this have happen because of the part that broke?

actually this guy named Scar, got his 360 banned, and his gamertag as well.. goodbye 60.000 points

but that's because he (and 100s others) used the 2nd profile glitch to get Halo 3 Epsilon. (yeah some Mum got Epsilon for her 13year old kid. but then some guys hacked or obtained his info.

which part of "better" don't you get.

it was already flashable with Dosflash, but the new version has BETTER support...

i'd prefer trintiykate his way (as teh noob i am).

no cutting traces.. simply lifting the leg away from the chip and solder to the points.. and after flash, put leg back to chip.

how can that be anymore dangerous then cutting traces?

i think it's rather dangerous that a noob is cutting in chipboards with knifes etc.

"Hitachi SS is not there"

that's a good thing. the hitachi extracted SS are bad ; should not be used.

glossary would be nice indeed.

and very to the point questions, i could use an answer for as well 

I have to say wow. incredible that 360 homebrew is now becoming more easily available to the public, due to that cool hack. Excellent work to those people who managed to do it. I can imagine those people are geniuses. Now

However i'm still a little lost about the whole hack, even though i have quite extend computer knowledge. I'll catch on by reading anyhow.

With that new hack, what to expect when 360 homebrew comes?

I see endless possibilities, and the need to upgrade to an EVEN bigger harddrive 

However, even though homebrew has been around for a while, isn't there support for sound missing? and isn't progress on this going slow, due to the lack of documentation on these chips?

I once had a look on http://www.free60.org/
the site is really old so it seems, but provides reasonable information.

What i hope to see that homebrew evolves quickly. I'm sure it will, because the XBOX homebrew was just amazing and very popular. My first bought console was the XBOX, pure for having Homebrew and all that cool stuff. simply great

And hasn't a while back a project started to port XBMC to Linux? I believe it was mentioned that once XBMC was ported, it'll work on the 360 as well. That would be simply mindwrecking. Anyway knows how progress is going?

My english sucks.

Just some general questions someone might be able to answer, and maybe a discussion about what you'd like to see when homebrew for 360 is widely available. 

\Take care.

that is not changing region of games... that's changing region of the 360.

i heard somewhere that you could replace the default.xbe in the ISO, with a NTSC one

agree about Uberfy and GaryOPA.. that's just not right.

because i too have experienced many things about them that weren't right.

it's even more of a f***er that he sends you a phony key.

plus GaryOPA been living on other people's successes.. he can't do nothing himself.

wow.. that sucks

well he's a fake anyhow.

he been living on others people's successes. what he did was crap.

above that he has ripped you off now lol. i saw you posting on the forums 3 weeks ago.
you still haven't had any reply from that guy?

aren't IRQ's pre-determined by your PC BIOS

described very well. should work just fine

i believe when you want to spoof a 46DG as v78 you :

1. first flash the iXtreme firmware to the 46DG, since the key sector and spoof data is left unaltered by the flashing procedure..
the drive now has got iXtreme1.2
2. then use firmwaretoolbox to open up the 46DG f/w , copy in the v78 key, and spoof as v78.
3. now use firmware toolbox3.1B, to "flash keys" and "flash string id (spoof data)".

would be good idea to read the tutorials.txt inside FW TB 3.1B

i'm impressed. very nice work!

so this video isn't a fake

edit:

are all usb>sata adapters supported now as well?

that is good news 

from #fw

firmware toolbox 4.0? how on earth

must be some way to get around the flashing part, like team xecuter has introduced. a little thingy on the dvdboard, that'll allow you to flash the v79.

or maybe it's REAL 

i've had flasher problems as well. some erroring out and everything.

but nonetheless the drive worked ok.

agreed. (yay +1 post count)
