Hi
Had the RROD so did another reflow (did one a year ago which worked likea dream). This time no good but I noticed that the whisper fan doesn't come on and the drive doesn't eject. It's also weird that I can't get any sort of image on the TV screen (originally got E74 but now nothing). Secondary code is 0031 which I know can be related to Southbridge.
Have I got the chicken and egg the wrong way around here? Is it failure of the fan that's caused the RROD?
Thanks

It's a short that's causing it so the xbox shuts off the power to the drive and fans and all other components and just displays the rrod.

Is there noone able to give me an indication of the hear times? I followed Woolley's guide before but this is just concentrating on the RAM chips and I don't want to overdo it.
Thanks
Thanks

Also the E74 doesn't have to be related to RROD (broken solder connections), I once got one of these when starting up with a USB stick plugged in. Removed the USB stick and all was good (restarted with the same USB stuck plugged in, no error). So with the first reflow you might have accidentally fixed the real cause for the E74 and now you got a real RROD.

Xbox 360: On my fourth console, first one rrod 3 times, second one sold at ebay because of no HDMI, third one rrod during flashing (supposedly killed that drive), fourth one up and working on LT 3.0
PSP: Slim&Lite 2004 model with 6,60 ME v1.3
PS3: 60 Gig Model with the latest official firmware for going online and a modified case for better cooling
PSVita: Need some games for it, just bought an 8 GB memory card at ebay, awaiting a Photofast addapter for MicroSD-cards.
