corsaman132 10 #3 Posted November 16, 2011 ......................add salt and pepper,then serve on a bed of freshly prepared salad!! Seriously,DON'T even consider this,you could melt any plastic parts!it needs a reflow for a proper repair.Its the same as the towel trick for the 360,it may work for a while but it WILL go again!!

corsaman132 10 #5 Posted November 22, 2011 I have reflowed loads of xbox 360's,and the safest way is with a heatgun and covering all capacitors and plastic parts,it lasts longer.I'm pretty sure that plastic has a lower melting point that metal! Check any gaming forums and i'll bet every one does not condone sticking it an oven.Capacitors cannot take a lot of heat and will swell and leak.There's also a very good chance that the board will warp. So,yes,i do know what i'm talking about! http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/tech-centre/36515-aidans-ylod-repair-guide-22.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Aaahh right,so you've seen me do one then? How do you know what i do and don't do? ''using a heatgun is almost as bad as putting it in an oven to be honest!'' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RUBBISH! I use a good quality flux and a good template on small stand-offs to isolate the 2 chips,so far 100% fix rate which have lasted,never had one back yet!
