I just posted this on another thread but wanted to post here as well
I had the E74 1022 problem and fixed it with the x-clamp and heat gun trick. But now I have created a new problem and a rather annoying one. Now the xbox bots up fine and no video problems but now the audio is out of whack. basically I am getting a buzzing noise kinda like the buzzing sound of an out of frequency radio station. The buzzing is only affected by bright colors. The brighter the colors on the screen the louder the noise gets. Just an example when playing COD4, if a flashbang blows up in my face the sound is very loud and in contrast if the screen is black you can barely hear it.
Now I havent ruled out using a different A/V cable beacuse I havent had a chance to get another one to try. The first fix I used omn my system was the x-clamp and It would only work for about a week or a few days at a time. After reading this thread I used the heat gun and it wasn't til after I used this method that I started having the audio problems.
I am wondering what component I may have heated too much and if anyone else has had this kind of problem
Thanks

I have a error code 0102 so I used the hot air gun method ( used a hair dryer)...I took the xbox 360 apart ( taking out dvd, fans, silverish thing on top of cpu etc). THe problem now is that, I receive 4 red lights then after that 3 red lights then after that 2 red lights. It stays at 2 red lights afterwards.

Got a new error code for you guys. Have an xbox that had some broken traces. fixed those with the circuitwrite pen and now the system works. didn't do the as5 yet, however the system works
went from a 0020, to a 0021, to a 0111, to a 0102. has the xclamp fix, but like i said no as5 yet.

Well to find out how to get the error code go to the first page of this topic
2 lights is overheating and as you did the X-Clamp fix you have either used too many washers or you applied too much thermal compound(size of a rice grain should be enough, also make sure that you spread it out evenly with a creditcard or something because the finer the layer the better it conducts the heat...).
The heatsink is not making good contact with the chip die...

I'm getting the 3 red lights, and the error code is 0102, and I have no idea what's wrong. It gave me this error before, and would not turn on, but somehow fixed itself (only thing i did was plug in my mp3 player to it, but thats most likely unrelated.)
Now its doing it again and its not turning on at all. I guess i got lucky last time. It hasn't even been used for about 4 hours, and it wasn't any rigorous playing, so its not overheating. I just decided to turn it on and it did this. It also froze up earlier during Perfect Dark, might be related.
It says on this thread that 0102 is an unknown error... anyone know?
i got the same code i heated up the ram chips with a lighter i held it about an inch away under them and now it works !

I didn't see this above... When I turn on my 360 the power indicator light turns green, however the rings never light up or blink at all. The machine sounds as if it is starting up and running smooth but after about five minutes it powers itself off. During the uptime no audio or video is available. I'm able to open and close the disc tray although I'm unsure if the disc actually spins or not. I will be sending my system into MS since I'm still warrentied, however I'd like to know what the issue is. Any ideas? Thank you.

I've been using this guide pretty much none stop for the past few days and figured that I might add something.
The secondary error code 0020 is described as overheating. I originally had that to begin with, and instead of tightening the heat sinks I decided to loosen them in case there was just too much bearing down on the chips, turns out I was right and it worked fine. Now, this may be because of over tightening (I had two washers in use to begin with, one on the main board and one on the screw, I now only use one on the main board) but now I'm getting error code 0110 (cold solder joint on the RAM).
Perhaps 0020 is the error code for the RAM overheating? Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but I didn't feel like taking the hour or two to read through 48 pages of topic.
If anybody else is getting error 0020, try the penny trick or something similar and see if it helps your problem.

The only thing I can think of doing is the towel trick and see if it will work, and then invest in a heat gun (in Britain you can get them for about £15, so that would work out around $30-40 and besides minor differences, they all do the same job).

No secondary error. I believe this is a rare problem. The power button will just give me 3 red lights flashing and there is no power at all. Fans are not working as well. Usually, for 3 red lights issue, it would give you the RROD after the fans start working right? Mine is different, just gives you the RROD after pressing the power button n half a sec. At first, i thought it was the ac adapter not giving enough power to crank my console. But i tried using another PS and it's still giving me the same issue. Have any idea what could have caused this?

So am I right in thinking that you actually stop getting power to your box?
Hmm... slightly out of my league, I think. Best off messaging Willhelm, he's a genius when it comes down to fixes like this. It sounds like you may have lost a capacitor, though (stab in the dark). I say that simply because it sounds like something is preventing the current from flowing as it should.
Sorry I can't be of much more help, man =/

Yup, just getting enough power to give me 3 red lights. It tries to power up then stops because i see the PS turns green for half of a sec then turns back to orange. Ok, thanks for trying to help.

HI.I had error code 0102.The first time I unplugged everything from it and left it for 10 minutes or so.It worked perfectly for several weeks.It happened again and i did the same thing (i used a vacuum to take out hot air, not sure if that matters or not) and once again working perfectly. Not sure why it works after this but perhaps it could also mean an overheating issue?

I got error 0022, and i read all 49 pages and really didnt see a fix anywhere on here...and i know what it means:
0022 CPU error, generally caused by a poor connection to the mainboard (cold solder joints/bridged solder joints). This can also be triggered by an error with the TSOP.Do i need to do the heat gun on the back of the CPU and the Southbridge??? I did the heat gun on all the ram chips and the GPU (the one under the DVD drive) and it still didnt help, anyone have this problem please let me know...

Also, it did occur during a flash of lightning when half the power in my house reset.

hi im having a little trouble with my 360. awhile back i got the rrod with error code 0102 and i found this forum and did the xclamp fix and everything worked fine for about a month or two and now i got the rings again. at first it gave me error code 0022 then after giving it awhile to cool down it gave me error code 0102. im pretty confused about this. i went ahead and put more arctic silver on both the cpu and gpu chips and im gonna try to loosen the screws a little but other than that i have no ideas. can anyone help?
*for x clamp fix i put 4 washers on each screw underneath the mother board, two washers for the heatsink underneath the dvd drive and one washer for the other heatsink in case that info helps.

Mr. Happy,
I have the same problem as you, but here is my experience:
- 0022 to start immediately at boot up;
- reflow the CPU and GPU BGA devices ONLY using a soldering reflow profile for silver solder and monitor the temperature via digital thermocouple (NOTE: from what I know about electronics manufacturing, you don't need to heat both sides of the PCB - reflow temperatures are always specified measuring temperature on the surface of the IC)
- clean CPU/GPU surfaces a second time and apply new thermal compound
- use lawdawg method to attach heatsinks for both CPU and GPU
RESULT:
When I boot up, only the middle green light - nothing happens. When I press the eject button for the DVD, it opens, and the RROD comes up.... fault code: 0022!!!
QUESTION:
What other TSOP devices are being referenced in the fault code definition?
It seems to me it could be that the problem on 0022 may be with solder joints on the surrounding ICs. I'm willing to try to reflow them, but if someone can tell me what components they think they are (especially focused on either CPU or GPU) I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi, I did X-Clamp fix using this method and Supplies.
http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/ring_...x-clamp_fix.htmBecause I was getting over heating issues and didnt know how to fix. After I did this I got Error 74 took it back apart and redid this. Then I get 3 red lights after about 15 secs of waitng. With only the green Light in the middle, the lights on the controller dont even spin on. But the controller will turn the 360 on, thats it. The code was 0022. Took it apart again, redid it all, now I get code 0021, and the 3 red lights come on as soon as I power 360 on...Im lost anyone have a fix for this thanks.

0022 is definitely NOT the CPU
It is a broken trace from the GPU to the ANA chip (aka E74) + a bridged solder joint under the GPU(like 0020 for example)
I have fixed 3 of these already by heatgunning the GPU -> ANA chip area and replacing the X Clamps.

E71 or
1013- Bad Block in NAND Flash. It's possible after bad dashboard update (well in my chase I get this error after normal reboot..). If you have good backup of your nand flash (you can dump it with Infectus), write it into NAND and console will work! If you haven't right dump, you could try Timing Attack (I can't test it now but I'll)
You can test your dump with Degraded App.
Here is my E71 dump. You can see bad block here.
Here is aslo bad block but it's found at other sector so this dump will work too.
Here is good dump. If i put it into xbox- console work fine.

Hi peeps, I got a 3 reds 360 off ebay it started out as error 0022 then 0110 after x-clamp replacement, so I gave it a good roasting with a hot gun around the GPU area put the heatsink back on still was getting 0110.
I examined the mobo and noticed 4 small resistors had been broken off on the underside of the board of the CPU and GPU, I read that it doesn't matter if a few are missing so I scraped around the broken resistors with a pin to break any shorts which might of formed.
I put it back together and unbelievably its now running sweet, its been running a game for 2 hours no problemo
Another thing I now do is leave out all the small screws I reckon this will give the mobo room to flex when the xbox is running at a high temperature, I also totally remove the "lid" of the metal case and cut out a square to be glued on over the large heatsink to prevent it melting the case, I still haven't had one returned since I've started to do this.
Happy repairing guys, good luck

0020 does definitely means that the solder balls of the GPU/RAM are shorting out.
Got like 2 360s that definitely proof that because the RAM is either pressed to the mainboard and the solder is leaking out and for the second I accidently lifted up one of the RAM bricks while heatgunning and the solder balls were shorting out(before it showed 0102)
I also did some trial and error on working consoles, I stuck a short thin needle under the GPU and so shortened out a couple of solder balls and it showed 0020 after that, as soon as I removed it, it worked again
