Insert a machine screw through each of the four holes around the CPU heat sink, with their heads on the back side of the board. While holding the head of the screw, place a nylon washer then a metal washer over the threads. The order of the washers is important. Do not put the metal washer on first. When attaching the CPU heat sink, be sure the fins are aligned with the air flow from the fans as seen in the third picture.
Having the flat side of the fins perpendicular to the air flow will cause your Xbox to overheat. Using the large flathead screwdriver bit, tighten the screws into the CPU heat sink. First lightly tighten the four screws in an X-shaped pattern as seen in the second picture, then follow the same X-shaped sequence to really torque the screws down. Don't be afraid of over-tightening the screws - the pressure between the heat sinks and processors caused by sufficiently torqued screws is needed to squeeze the processors back against the board.
Use the edge of your small flathead screwdriver or another thin and sharp object to carefully pull up a corner of the blue or white plastic sheet covering the adhesive on the bottom of both heat sinks. Lightly clean the surface of the two chips highlighted in red on the first picture.
Be sure to position the heat sinks correctly before you stick them down, as the adhesive is extremely strong and sensitive to being repositioned. Stick the two heat sinks down against the top of the two chips highlighted in red on the first picture, being sure the fins are aligned as seen in the second picture.
When reinstalling the optical drive, be sure both the power and SATA cables do not interfere with the heat sink attached closest to their sockets on the motherboard. If your motherboard lacks RAM chips on its bottom face, it is not necessary to apply thermal pads.
Remove the clear and colored plastic backing material from all four thermal pads. The thermal pads included in your kit might be slightly different colors than those pictured. To reassemble your device, follow these instructions from Step 42 in reverse order.
Cancel: I did not complete this guide. Badges: This gave me all green lights. Unfortunately this repair only lasted a few months on my xbox, going to try it again and hope for better results.
I recently did this to an X that the RROD kit fixed only momentarily and afterwards it worked good as new. I did the relowing of the motherboard this weekend, hopefully it lasts longer than the previous repair. I followed this guide and even performed the reflowing procedure. It worked perfectly. I noticed that when I took my Xbox apart there were no existing thermal pads on the RAM chips on the underside of the mobo. Perhaps this caused the problem?

Step 9. You can read the following contents to get the answers. Red ring means the four LED lights that are located around the Xbox 's power button. When the console is working normally, the upper-left quadrant of the ring is solid green.
While, if there is something wrong with the console, 1 to 4 of the LED lights will flash red. So, you can see that there are four different situations of Xbox red ring of death. We will show you all these four situations as well as how to fix red rings of death on Xbox in this post.
The code of one red LED is illuminating means that there is a hardware failure. It always comes with an error code like E on your TV. Your laptop can be overheating. Your desktop computer can be overheating. Of course, your Xbox can also be overheating. Xenon or Zephyr. This error code is usually caused by failure of one or more hardware components, although it can indicate that the console is not receiving enough power from the power supply, which can either be due to a faulty power supply or if the power supply cable is not fully inserted into the console.
The 3 flashing lights can also be caused by power surges; if the console is connected to an outlet that receives a power surge, it may have a failure and the 3 lights will appear as long as the console is plugged into the outlet. Turning off the console, unplugging all power cables and plugging them back in, and restarting the console will fix the issue in this case.
Back in , this was a problem with most people. When you turned it on, it would have the 3 red lights Red Ring of Death and would show an error code. Distinct from the General Hardware Failure is a similar-looking error warning where four red lights appear, in which case the console does not detect an AV cable either due to not being plugged in or a serious AV detection error; however, this error code is not generated on models equipped with the HDMI connection.
The four lights can sometimes also be seen when power surges or very brief power outages occur while the console is running, in which the console needs to be unplugged and plugged back in again to reset the error.
Two red lights appear when the system is overheated, and one red light appear when one hardware component failed. Upon showing one red light on the console, the TV also shows an error with texts in 11 languages and an error code. On the Xbox S model, the power button utilizes a different design that does not incorporate the same style of lighting that past models used.
Due to this, errors are indicated by a flashing or lit red light in the middle of the power button, dubbed the "Red Dot of Death" by some, depending on the error. A lit red light appear, as well as the error code when Hardware Failure occurs, a flashing light when it is overheated, and always on red light without an error code on the screen indicate a General Hardware Failure.
