Hey anons, I opened up my old fat 360 to replace the thermal paste and now I’m getting 3 red rings with error code 0110.
From what I found online, it’s usually GPU or RAM around the GPU. I circled some empty spots on the board in the pic, but people told me that’s normal for this revision.
Question is: how do I save this thing at home? Is a heatgun reflow actually worth trying, or is it just a temporary bandaid and a full reball is the only real fix?
Anyone here had success reviving an 0110 without professional BGA equipment?
tl;dr: how do I resurrect my fatbox, don’t wanna bury it just because of a few cracked solder joints.

You're unlikely to find much help here but i vaguely remember the phat motherboard revisionsFalcon and jasper are the only two possibly worth fixing but even then, what's a 360 going for these days? $20? Maybe $50?

Did it work before you changed the paste?

Yes, everything worked before I changed the thermal paste, maybe I'm an idiot and ruined everything.

i used to fix these things as a side hustle back in 2011.normally if i did the classic penny trick and it didnt fix it meant either the power cable is fucked up, the disc drive wasnt in correctly or the x clamps were on wrong.clean your contact points for literally everything double check your screws and make sure the heat sinks are all solid. good luck OP

Another thing you might consider is getting some double sided thermal tape and some little heatsinks and attaching them to the chips circled in pic related. I don't think it will fix your problem but I heard somewhere that they were often the cause of RRD failures. So if you do fix it, it probably wouldn't hurt to attach a few little heatsinks while your at it. Just dont go overboard and block/disrupt airflow off of the main heatsinks. I suppose while your at it putting the same quick and dirty but better than nothing supplemental cooling on any other chips just sitting around wouldn't hurt either.

It looks like a falcon or Jasper revision, you probably knocked a component off removing or reinstalling the x-clamps.

Top-right, HDD port shielding is laying on the PCB. Might be shorting something.

The real fucking answer is this: most hardware failures up to Xenon have GPU defects. Most of the time even a reball won't completely fix it, though it WILL need a reball with a newer GPU.
Properly diagnose your own console or give it to someone who can.

Just throw a wet towel over the vent bro.

>without professional BGA equipment?
If you're really diligent you can replace a BGA chip with a heat gun. Hot-glue seal some tinfoil to protect the rest of the board (glue the bead on the side of the foil which doesn't get direct heat, then fold back You will need a re-balling stencil regardless.Anything unpopulated from the factory isn't important.
