Fan problems i tried to mod my 360 by adding a thrid fan and touched the wrong wires on the stock fan now it wont run is there anything i can do before i buy another one in i have the elite if that makes a dif

more, lots of PT-100 users long long ago and for decades did MODS.
and the power pack mode was 2 ways or both ways

1; wired center pin on some CASIO IS WIRED PER PHOTO BELOW. IF USING WRONG PACK IT BLOWS UP THE MOBO.
2: added series diode 1N4001 up , to make it never blow up again. (voltage to high still will)

I have a mod for #3 , too much voltage using zener diode and a fuse. ask.
I have endless ideas on mods for most things that (plug in)


the AD1 PACK MISSING AND WRONG PACK USED BURNS THIS KBD UP, AS VAST FOLKS IN THE NET TESTIFY.
WRONG PACK OR CLONES SOLD WRONG, I SEE MANY SOLD THAT SHOW AD1 COMPAT, BUT IS A LIE.
THEY LIE. NOW.

WRONG VOLTAGE SOLD .
WRONG POLARITY SOLD AND USED.
WIRED WRONG, PACKS.
THE PACK IS CALLED CASIO, AD1 (TOLD IN THE USERS MANUAL()

MINUS -7.5 VDC AT 2.2WATTS (WATTS BE HIGHER IF YOU WANT)
AMPS IS 0.133 amp max or 130mA , I bet the electronics inside uses 100mA max or less.

If before it shutdowns it has 2 red light its a Overheating issue, if still under warrenty send it back to microsoft or... you can, open it up by following this guide: . http://www.rrodfix.com/how-to-take-apart-the-microsoft-xbox-360-game-console.html Stop once you've removed the dvd drive. Get a can of air, make sure its all aired out, and you hold the can horizontal don't tilt it, and short bursts. Once thats done. If you want to make sure it never overheats you can do whats called a 12v mod on the 360 it forces the fans to run at full speed. Now if you have a slim you just snip the grey wire. If its a older model you get the fans, and wire it up to a external 12v 1amp ac to dc adapter or solder it to this point :http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/mods/360-12V-fan-Mod.htm this link also shows what wires are postive and negative. And I would also suggest changing the thermal paste out for some better stuff like artic silver five. Now if you're getting Red Ring of Death which is 3 red lights you need to follow this guide :This is called Red Ring of Death or RROD by the community, it means that the CPU or GPU or both have a bad solder joint, that is caused from rapid heating and cooling from poor cooling design of the xbox 360. To fix it is pretty simple. Follow these instructions to take apart your 360: http://www.rrodfix.com/how-to-take-apart-the-microsoft-xbox-360-game-console.html Stop once you've removed the dvd drive. Now Remove the fans from the back, and set them on the heatsink on the right the flat one, and make sure they are pointing where the air is going up. Put a peice of of carboard or plastic something non conductive in between the heatsinks to prevent airflow from the fans. Turn on the 360, and leave it til it goes from 3 rings to 2 rings, wait 3 minutes, then switch the fan over to the other side. Wait about as long as you did for the other one then turn off the 360. Wait 1 hour for the 360 to cool off. DO NOT move the 360 while it is cooling down durning this period or you will permantly ruin it, the solder is being reflowed. After an hour, put the fans back, and turn the 360 on, it should work. Once its working, I recommend doing a 12 volt mod on the fans to prevent RROD from happening again, and changing out the thermal paste with artic silver 5.

To solve this problem..here's the solution...........download the repair guide of xbox 360 and solve any problem of it... to download the repair guide

Make sure the disc isn't scratched. And also 360's are prone to overheating so I recommend that you go and mod your fans to run at full speed to prevent overheating. Using the DVD power 12v trick posted here.http://www.instructables.com/id/Xbox-360-12v-fan-mod/

you can call microsoft, they will run you around for 10 minutes and 9/10 they wont help, but if you give them a good enough reason, they might help... but do remember it is microsoft..

Modding an Xbox 360 is illegal, and Microsoft is anal about it.

I would say you probably severed a connection somewhere wrong and fried your motherboard or corrupted your hard drive.

So, you took apart the Xbox 360?

The Xbox 360 has serious cooling problems; compressed air usually does wonders for the Xbox.

You'll "brick" your Xbox tampering with the fan and heat sink; soft mods are always a bad idea if you don't have any recourse for fixing the system.

Hard Mods/Mod Chips are the best way to go because you have dual boot capabilities; you can boot to the original Xbox OS or the Mod Chip firmware.

Currently, Microsoft is being sued for the number of Xbox 360 consoles experiencing the "Red Rings of Death."

Microsoft is making amends by fixing the Xbox 360 at no charge.

Taking the Xbox apart yourself may void your warranty; you might start by uses an Ohm Meter to check the heat sink and fan connections.

Also make sure there is not a gap between the heat sink and the processor; this space should be filled with the thermal compound.

Furthermore, the fan might be damaged and not reporting the fan speed through the variable resistance wire; only way to determine this is by powering the fan with +5v / -5v and checking the variable resistance wire with an Ohm meter.

hey there the way i fixed mine is you know you have the x-clamp right and when you take it out seems kind of loose... you get me. Well what i did was to add washers (#4 washers or #6 washers from home depot) just added them and wha-la. My 360 has been up and running like new. its so simple
