E 74 Fix Help Options

[d-gut]

I just did the x-clamp fix and heat gun fix (I heat gunned it first) on an xbox 360 pro 2006 and now I'm on the step of over heating it but it won't over heat it's stone cold (without the fan plugged in).....can anyone help?
If it helps while taking the stock x-clamps off I accidently scratched it a little ( very little) does that have anything to do with it not over heating?

Does it even power on?

Make sure your ROL board is connected and the xbox has an A/V lead plugged in and try turning it on. If it powers up and gives you the 2RROD/1RROD, then that's a good sign at least. If it's not even doing that, you buggered something up.

However, I would highly recommend you go and get a proper reflow done, with actual rework equipment instead of a heat gun. Heatgunning chips can kill them, and overheating your XBox on purpose can blow capacitors. If you're still intent on doing it, then don't forget you probably need to block off as much airflow as possible.
