Let US do the modding for YOU

Reflow Repair

We have tried the heat gun method for a while and have had some problems so we are proud to announce that we can now professionally reflow your consoles! We have gotten in are reflow station and have tested it on numerous Xbox 360s with a 100% fix rate. We haven’t come across one Xbox yet that it hasn’t worked on. We are able to guarantee the consoles that get reflowed by us for 30 days. For now on when you send or drop off a console to get repaired from the rrod or ylod it will get the reflow process done. There will not be a change in price! We have been doing repairs for many years and we have had some problems with consoles and we have decided to try and turn down the failure rate so to do this we got a professional reflow station to solve this problem. We have never tried to do the towel or penny fix on ANY console. The problem behind the Red Rings (9 times out of 10) has to do with cracks, whiskers, and other issues with the solder balls under all of the BGA chips on the 360 Motherboard caused by constant heating/cooling cycles.


The Reflow (fix that works)-

Easily the most reliable, and effective fix is performing a reflow. By re-melting the solder balls in a BGA any imperfect joints will be fixed when they re-harden. Now some people claim they can reflow their Xbox using a heat gun or an oven, but to reflow properly you need the proper equipment. (Which We HAVE!!!)
(After getting the reflow fix from us we recomend getting a xbox 360 or PS3 NYKO INTERCOOLER for your console it will keep your console nice and cool while not having to upgrade your fans on the inside... but we can do that too we carry a large amount of upgradable fans check out the page for your console. )

The Towel Fix-

People think that by wrapping their 360 in a towel and running it for excessive periods of time, the internal components will reach the melting point of lead-free solder, and the bad joints under the BGAs will reflow, fixing the problem... I'm not even going to explain what's wrong with that picture.

The Penny Fix-

By putting pennies underneath the GPU heatsink/on top of the RAM chips, the extreme pressure on the RAM BGAs will (in some cases) push the chip down enough that the bad joints make connections. Now this is all good and dandy save the fact that neither the solder balls nor the RAM were meant to take that kind of pressure, and this fix will only lead to more broken joints.

The "X-Clamp" Fix-

This fix utilizes the same basic principle as the penny fix. By removing the stock heatsink clamps, you can hold the CPU and GPU heatsinks on with machine screws. The idea is that you can over tighten the bolts causing the heatsinks to exert more pressure on the processors, pressing the broken solder joints down until they make connections. The issue with this is that more pressure inevitably leads to more broken joints... which leads to more pressure, which leads to more broken joints...the vicious cycle continues until you get micro fractures in the chips and your console is dead for good.

After The Repair
(How to maintain console for the first week)

This is to keep your console in working condition for the first week it is Crucial that you do this to prevent the red ring from comming back. I always tell all of my customers to pick up a intercooler and this is part of the reason. The first week you can only play your console for 2 hours at a time and let it cooldown for 2 hours. Your console must get used to it being turned on and off again. You also need to keep your console lying down when using it. NOT STANDING UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST WEEK. Your console also needs the nyko intercooler attached to it at ALL times. Failure to doing these steps WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE THE RED RING TO APPEAR AGAIN. I will NOT warrenty the console if these steps are not followed.
