Any 1 used a heatgun on their 360?

Okay after plenty of net trawling im going to build myself a reflow rig for the 360 board however i will be using a hot air gun and a IR thermometer what i want to know is had any 1 on this forum done this and if so what are the results you have achievied?

 

dont use a heat gun from a paint store if you expect the console to ever work again

 

Whoa.. bd911, glad to see you are back!

 

not on about a crappy paint stripper gun i was on about a proper tempreature contolled and air speed controlled gun

 

i have used a heatgun... all the 360s i fixed works fine... black decker heat pro.... about a year now...

 

i'm making a professionl jig to keep the heat away from the caps. so that isnt a issue. i have a hot air gun coming that has a low fan speed with variable heat output to reflow the boards. Does this sound okay?

I have a board that is working but is showing graphical glitches on it at the nxe menu. Xclamp fix worked to get it up and running but there is still a problem which is why i have come up with making a reflow station and jig.

 

How many have you done out of curiosity?

 

~60 maybe more... alot. i buy on ebay about 40-65$ with rrod then i fix them using heatgun and xclamp fix, then i'd sell them for more cash... no one ever returned to me with a problem. all the one's o fixed had the error code of 0102.

 

kewl have you had any succes with 1s that are freezing and having graphics glitches?

 

i've used those methods to fix ones with no video at all...i guess they're somewhat related

 

cheers for your help matey. i also do the same as you buy em in cheap fix em flash em then sell em i was just after a more permament fix for the RROD
