--==ERROR Codes==--
If there is a problem with the Xbox360 The LEDs in the ring of light will flash in a particular pattern. The pattern itself leads some insight to the problem. Certain patterns will lead to numbered error codes which will provide further insight to the problem. The numbered error codes are described below their corresponding LED code.

After reading this guide if you'd like to discuss the problems you're experiencing with others you can do so in the following thread:
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=462099

these are the codes we know so far...
Please contribute if you know of new codes that are not part of this list.

=============================

Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 are flashing red
- The AV cable cannot be detected
/ \
\ /

THINGS TO TRY

1. Make sure that the AV cable is correctly connected to the Xbox 360 console.
2. Disconnect the AV cable from the Xbox 360 console, and then reconnect the AV cable to the Xbox 360 console.
3. If the four flashing red lights continue to flash, try wiping the metal area of the AV pack with a dry cloth. The metal area is the end that plugs into the console. Wipe the metal area thoroughly, and then try the AV Pack again.
4. If the AV cable is correctly connected but the four red lights are still flashing, substitute a different AV cable if you have one available.

=============================

Sections 1, 3, and 4 are flashing red
- General Hardware Failure
/ \
\ /

Check the secondary Error Code per the instructions in the section below

THINGS TO TRY

1. Try restarting the console.
2. If restarting the console does not resolve the behavior, follow these steps:
   • Turn the console off.
   • Unplug all the power and AV cables from the console.
   • Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
   • Firmly reconnect all the cables.
   • Turn on the console.
3. If these steps do not resolve the behavior, turn the console off, remove the hard drive, and then turn on the console. If the 3x Red LED error light is no longer displayed, turn the console off, re-attach the hard drive, and then turn on the console.
4. Also examine the lights on the power supply. When you turn on the console, the power supply light should illuminate green even if the three lights on the RoL flash red.

=============================

Sections 1, and 3 are flashing red
- Overheating
/ \
\ /
Alternatively Overheating can be cause by the console locking up or "freezing" after a set amount of time. Lockups that occur at a specific point in a game are generally problems with the game itself and not caused by overheating.

THINGS TO TRY

1. Let the Xbox 360 console cool.
   Note You may have to wait several hours for the console to cool enough. Do not turn on the console when the console is hot.
2. Verify that the console has sufficient ventilation and that the fan is operating. For more information about ventilation, see the "More Information" section.

PREVENTION SUGGESTIONS
To try to prevent this problem, use the following precautions:

• Do not block any ventilation openings on the Xbox 360 console.
• Do not put the Xbox 360 console on a bed, on a sofa, or on any other soft surface that may block ventilation openings.
• Do not put the Xbox 360 console in a confined space, such as a bookcase, a rack, or a stereo cabinet, unless the space is well-ventilated.
• Do not put the Xbox 360 console near any heat source, such as a radiator, a heat register, a stove, or an amplifier.

DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR CONSOLE IN THE FREEZER OR OUT IN COLD WEATHER
Some people think that doing this might help "fix" an overheating console, in fact doing so could cause even bigger problems. Electronic devices like your console are made to function at and around room temperature, extreme cold temperatures can often cause just as many problems as extreme warm temperatures (such as overheating). Also if the console is located in a dramatically cold area while running, the difference in temperature between the hot console and cold air can create condensation which in turn will short out your console making the situation far worse. Condensation will happen more quickly if your console is overheating due to the greater difference in temperature. In short... DON'T DO IT.

A more aggressive Solution to overheating is to improve the cooling system of the console. The best solution is to replace the thermal compound. If you attempt this you do so at your own risk. If you're console is still under warranty it is recommended that you contact MS for a replacement before attempting to fix it yourself.

=============================

Section 4 is flashing red
- Hardware Failure
/ \
\ /

The Specific Type of hardware failure can be determined by the error code displayed on the screen.
If the screen is blank or you would like additional information follow the instructions for determining the secondary error code in the section below

E01: possibly a power supply problem

E02: possibly a Network Interface problem (might be fixed by loosening the x-clamps)

E03: possibly Power problem could be the PSU could be the GPU/CPU, somehow the console isn't getting clean power from the power supply.

E04: Unconfirmed: There is a problem with the Southbridge Chip usually dealing with how it connects to the mainboard (cold solder joint/bridged solder joints)

E05: CPU over heating - If you are receiving this error after disassembling your console make sure to all 8 of the heatsinc screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink holes.

E06: GPU over heating -ensure your x-clamps are installed properly.

E07: RAM over heating

E08: Unconfirmed: General I/O Malfunction, could be caused by an error with any of the I/O devies such as A/V port, USB, Hard drive, DVD drive, etc. over torquing of the AV or heatsync bolts can cause this error.

E09: Unconfirmed: This can be caused by two completely different things either:
A. DVD Drive Time out - Can be caused by problems with a firmware flash. This is also speculated to sometime be caused by a problem with the southbridge chipset on the motherboard based on how it connects to the DVD drive.
B. GPU error, generally caused by a poor connection to the mainboard (cold solder joints/bridged solder joints) See error E18 for more information

E10: Unconfirmed: 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.

E11: (not yet known)

E12: Possibly a problem with temperature control

E13: Unknown: could be caused by a short between the heatsink and surrounding capacitors

E14: (not yet known)

E15: (not yet known)

E16: Unknown: Likely a cold solder join in GPU or Ram chips (see error E18)

E17: (not yet known)

E18: Error in the "Digital Backbone" (CPU/GPU/RAM), this is usually caused by a cold solder joint between the GPU and the mainboard.
There are two theories to fixing this one deals with the "X" clamps that hold down the chips. The other involves re-Heating the chips. DO NOT attempt either of these if your console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced.

E19: Unknown: GPU Error this is usually caused by bridged solder points where the GPU connects to the mainboard. see error E18 for more detailed information

E20: likely a Ram error, this can be caused by a cold or bridged solder joint on one of the Ram chips.
...
E32: (not yet known)

E33: (not yet known)

E34: (not yet known)

E35: over heating GPU possibly due to lack of thermal compound.
...
E45: Unknown (possibly dashboard update related)

E52: (not yet known)

E64: DVD Drive Error - Dvd drive timed out during reset :Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc. This can also be caused by the tray not being fully closed on boot. also it could mean that the Kernel can't be launched/signature in NAND Flash chip is broken It could be possible after bad update. http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?sho...p;#entry4156375 This might also be caused by a bad SATA cable.

E65: DVD Drive Error - Dvd drive is not DMA configured :Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc. This can also be caused by the tray not being fully closed on boot.

E66: DVD Drive Error - Dvd drive pairing failure: DVD model, or version does not match that of the version expected by the dashboard. OR the firmware version on the drive is older then the firmware version expected by the dashboard. Make sure the DVD drive is of the same version originally included with the console and that it is using either the original firmware included with the console or newer. if drive can eject, read, and write under windows but errors on console, replacing original firmware should fix issue.

E67: Hard Drive Error - Hard drive timed out during reset: It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it.


E68: Hard Drive Error - Hard drive not DMA configured: It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it. Also this can be caused by a problem with the fans that make them draw too much power, it can also be caused if you have unnecessary accessories attached to the console like an external fan unit. Attempt to remove unnecessary accessories first, and then necessary components such as the hard drive and USB devices. If you have any case mods you may want to investigate those as well.

E69: Hard Drive Error - Reading the HD Security sector failed: It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

E70: Hard Drive Error - Hard drive not found

E71: Dashboard Error - Error within Xam.xex: possibly a dashboard update error, Check below in the "Console Reset Codes" for instructions. If that does not work there is no other solution and the console must be sent back to MS for repair.

E72: Dashboard Error - Error within Xam.xex: Like a problem with the NAND flash

E73: I/O Hardware Error - Couldn't calibrate HSIO Bus from edram: this error is likely caused by a problem with the Ethernet port or supporting control devices

E74: I/O Hardware Error - HSIO related, could be crc error, or many things: There is high chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip near the AV cable connection) it can also be caused by a faulty AV cable so check that first. Microsoft covers this error under their 3-year warranty, this is availble to anyone who hasn't modified their console. contact MS to get a free replacement console before attempting to fix this yourself. Failing that this error In some cases it is a problem with the GPU and may be repairable by doing the x-clamp replacement (see error 0102)

E75: Ethernet Error - Couldn't read ethernet phy vendor: Strange but sometimes caused by the DVD drive not being connected properly.

E76: Ethernet Error - Couldn't complete ethernet reset: This error is usually cased by the Ethernet port's controller chip, a dead chip may not cause the error but removing the Ethernet controller chip does, it may also be caused by other Ethernet related problems.

E77: Ethernet Error - phy request is already processing/reading reg failed/Failed to write reg: This error is sometimes caused by power problems with the RAM chips. It might be cause by a short between the heat sink and resistors or by more serious problems with the RAM. [more info]

E78: Dashboard Error - AsicId check failed

E79: Dashboard Error - Couldn't start xam.xex: probably a file system corruption, it could also be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it.

E80: Dashboard Error - Wrong LDV version in NAND Flash: This is in new dashboard. You have the update but haven't R3T6 resistor. You can:
-Downgrade to old dashboard, solder back the resistor and then update your xbox
-If you have CPU Key, get current NAND Flash image and fix LDV (just add 1 up to latest kernel). (See error 1100)


=============================

--==SECONDARY ERROR CODES==-
The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code

• Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.
• Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.
• The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.
• Release the eject button and press it again.
• The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.

You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.

Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:

• All four lights flashing - 0
• One light flashing - 1
• Two Lights flashing - 2
• Three lights flashing - 3

1444 and up There is no "4" in the error codes. Four lights is a "0" go back and check your code again.

=============================
--==Power Supply Color Codes==--
no light - No Power - Power supply is not receiving power from the mains
Green - Power On - Power supply is plugged in and receiving power from the mains and the console is powered on.
Orange - Stand By - Power supply is plugged in and receiving power from the mains but the console has not yet been powered on.
Red - Power Supply Error, Power supply is plugged in and receiving power from the mains, but there is a problem preventing it from delivering power.
this can be caused by the following:

• overheating - this is commonly caused by lack of ventilation, check to make sure there is a lot of open space around the power supply, that the air temp in the room is cool, and that the vents are free from dust and debris. Also check to make sure the fan is still functioning properly
• incorrect voltage - this can be caused by the power supply being plugged into an outlet that is not providing the proper voltage for the power supply to function properly.
• too much current draw - this means that the console is drawing too much power from the power supply. This is most commonly in modded consoles this can be caused by excessive LEDs or other extraneous hardware, in non-modded consoles this most often caused by short somewhere; a common problem is USB ports that have been damaged and the pins inside the port are shorting out on each other.

=============================
--==Console Reset Codes==--
Clear All Installed Game Updates and Console Cache

1. Go to the "system" blade
2. Select "memory"
3. Press Y on the HD symbol
4. Press X,X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X
5. A message will appear saying: "Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices?"
6. Select Yes

Clear Any Failed system updates that cause the console to error.

1. With the console off, press and hold the sync up button (the small white one)
2. While holding the sync button press the power button to turn on the console
3. Continue to hold the sync button until the Console has booted up completely.
4. During the boot process the console should clear any failed updates, allowing you to use it normally.

=============================
--==Sending in your Console for Repair==--
If none of the above suggestions work, contact MS customer support get get a support ticket started. If your console is still under warranty DO NOT attempt to open it and fix it yourself. MS will fix it promptly and for free and if you open it you loose the free support.

Very Special Thanks to sowa99 as well as HvxHcC, Tmbinc, and redline99 from XboxHacker who have provided a majority of the discoveries.

ive got a 0110 code, im not sure what the error actually is though, ive got no picture on my TV and but power supply and video cable are in and working (to my knowlege)

I got a 0020 code, and after I let it cool down for just a bit, it started back up, but within 15 minutes the screen went blank again and gave me the same error after rebooting....

Might be an Overheating issue...

I tried one users fix by gently "smacking" the side of it, and that usually fixes it. Haven't had any problems the past week until now....I guess its off to M$.

hey
i have a new error code for you guys
i live in new zealand and we dont have the 360 yet so i cant do my own experimenting
but anyway went into a games store yesterday the the 360 had the usual black screen with "E 65" at the bottom.
tried restarting it nothing came on screen and then just displayed the error again.
will try to get a pic up later today.

hope this helps
cheers

Im getting a 0020, have no fucking clue what it means.

I got my first #4q ROL today(#74). It also gives the hardware failure code 1022. I changed out the av wires a number of times, and it didnt help. Any other ideas that may cause a 74 other them an av wire problem??

I've gotten the e74 error code several times when I first turn the console on. I turn the console off and then back on and it boots up with no problems. I called MS support just to ask them if it's something to be concerned about and they didn't give me a definite answer but did take my name and a report of the incident.

0020 here as well. I get no video or nuttin.. This blows!

ok heres a new one...


I'm getting 0022 as an error and i have no idea what to do... It was working fine all day and than all the sudden i went to turn it on and no video, so i checked to see what error code. There is a possiblilty this is overheating, but I'll check into it.


Can't send it to MS either because it is now irridescent blue with 2 windows in it

Error or E 71 is a new code that seems to be popping up. Just got my 2nd 360 (prem.) today. Went home, plugged it in, and E71 pops up. Called MS - they literally said -- ".. uhmm, or yea, you are just gonna need to go ahead and send it in...". I said ya I don't think so, and returned it to Circuit City.

My friend gets section 4 red if he boots up his 360 before turning his sound system on. Im guessing its got something to do with the optical lead or some kind of switch in the amp. If he turns the 360 off then on, and the amp is on, no probs at all, its just strange

0101 here

0021 seems to be an AV error.

I thought it may be overheating, but everything was cool.... So I kept on playing the same part and roughly time that it would happen.....The I tried reseating the AV cable and it hasnt started since....

one time i got a error 69, righ after i cracked opened my system and painted it, i almost cried, ok i did, than i removed the hard drive and all was betta, lol

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?

Thanks for the error code trick! 0102 here. I would assume it has something to do with the display adapter because I get no signal to my VGA monitor when it boots. I can boot it from a wireless controller but always get the three rings of death.

Now, if the rings were blue this would be similar to the blue screen of death, but I guess red is more fitting.

I'm disappointed by their return policy. 5-8 business days for an empty box to arrive. x days to ship my console back and they fix it. 5-8 days for return delivery. I'm guessing 2-4 weeks without a functional xbox. Considering I bought 4 games, an extra wireless controller, the battery charger for the wireless controllers, a composite to VGA adapter and the wireless add-on, my (close to) $1000 CDN expenditure kinda sucks. I've played the console for less than 20 hours and I've only had it for 2 weeks.

I wouldn't be at all suprised if this is heat related. The console fans in any game are full-blast the whole time. I hard read about this and I have 2 feet clearance any every side of the console, and the power supply is a foot away from everything.

Perhaps being first to market isn't all that great a thing...

I'm getting the 0102 error as well.
There are 2 possible causes that I think would be a factor for this error for me. I opened my 360 and changed my ring of light LEDs to blue, and red for the error. This was about a month ago. I couldn't restrain myself from pulling the heat-sinks off the processors, though.

Ever since that, the fans seemed to be at full blast and I'd get those annoying artifacts on Halo 2. So I figured it was overheating because I'd muffed up the heat stuff that goes between the processors and the heat-sink. (my console has tons of breathing room, is open on the front and sides, with tons of space behind it to vent.)

I opened it up again and re-did the heat-sinks, and it returned to quiet as a mouse, and worked perfectly. Then came the Halo 2 live updates (about a week or so ago, April-5-2006 ish) There were 2 updates within a couple days.

After the 2nd update, Every time I'd enter a MM game, the whole screen would pixel and freeze, and my speakers would make a horrible buzzing sound. This repeated about 5 times, so I deleted all H2 content from my HDD, and downloaded the updates again.

During the updates it froze (without the pixelizing or noise) and when I reset it It would freeze & pixel during the bios introduction. Some times it would load the Dash and I once got E79 (I think?) with no hdd connected. If its connected I get nothing.

Now I can't get any video, and I getting code 0102. M$ won't help because I opened my box.

I think the 0102 code is a fried video processor, or possibly problem with the bios. An interuption of the H2 update is a possible cause, but I don't see how that could be a factor when my HDD is disconnected.

I really dont think that your modding of the xbox has anything to do with it...MS are just bein queer. A lot of people are having the same problem like ......me...i get the 3 sector red lights aside from the 4th quad. Iv had the 360 since uk launch day (2nd dec), and it frooze like a few days ago...Then started working ok again after i tried a few things...ie...fan/moving it/smacking it/changing av cables and every thinkable other thing...
Then it died completely and new i only get 3 lights all the time as opposed to being able to play for a bit and then .........FREEZE!!!! thats the most annoying one though!!

I think the answer is simple in that MS had only done batch testing....which is normal still blows!!

I feel anyone who is having constant freezing issues should be prepared to be a bit bummed...coz it WILL eventually freeze up completely...giving u no option but to send them back.

Called MS, they are gona send me a 'sticker'...in the uk we have to provide our own boxes!!!!!!bull!! 10-14 days the idiots said!!!

Oh another thing!!!- customer support try to act as though they dont have that many calls concerning this...'we sell millions and only a insignificant minority have come back'...

So is anyone trying to reproduce some of these errors to find out whats is causing them??
I just started working on them so I havent had time to figure them out yet. Of the 65 or so I have looked at
these are the errors I have had. I dont have any thermal compound atm so I havent worked with the over heating issues.

0011: 1
0020: 1
0022: 1
0102: 4
0103: 1
0110: 4
1003 (#67): 1
1022 (#74): 1

I don't think anyone is actively working on it, but if you figure any of them out let me know and I'll ad them to the list.

The error codes up there now where either gathered by me from the MS Xbox help pages (I'm pretty sure I got everything listed there), or submitted to me by members who had found the meaning of the code by talking to MS tech support.

I keep getting an E-71 error its so freekin frusterating

whats a 1413 error

[size=7]THREE LIGHTS OF DOOM CODE:0102

I got the biggest problem of all you guys...I went on holiday to Greece and I bought the Xbox360,Tomb raider Legend and Fifa 2006 road to world cup with an extra controller I could'nt wait to get back to South-Africa and play my new 360.

When I got back to South-Africa I immediatly started up my 360 and started a game of Tomb raider after which I played Fifa...suddenly in the middle of the game the picture started snowing which I thought it might be the cables not propely inserted I restarted my 360 with the cables re-inserted and there it was...3 RED LIGHTS OF DOOM!

I then contacted MS South-Africa and they just told me they cant help me(this product is not sold in S.A.)...what disturbs me the most is the fact that it is a MS product and they dont even want to help me

Now I might have to ship my 360 all the way to Europe from South-Africa

great....I got 0022, unknown. *sigh* Anyone know if I have to register thru M$ before they will let me send it to them? Also, will they do anything if I have no warrenty? I have never tampered with it.

Ive also gotten a 0022 error

Hey, i got a "0020" error... and my xb360 never snapped out of it... so its in the repair center right now

the thing is.. im pretty sure its "GPU OverHeating or Fault" which means.... or you´re frying your XBOX GPU or you´ve already Fried it up.

Why i say that?

ok, my xbox started at some point to freeze from time to time with these funny colors (pink and brown and stuff like that) in square shapes, some times just freezed some times with the colors..., the day my xbox decided to let me without the joy of playing my "just bought call of duty 2", it was freezing over and over again and gave me these colors even working... so, for me, theres no doubt, its the GPU.

BTW, i didnt even played my first bought game for the first time... imagine my rage...

PD. sorry for my bad english.. not very good at it.

Hope this helps somehow anyone... and i reccomend anyone who gets these errors or symptoms to get their consoles to the M$ repair center

Atte.

vERdugox

I have a question. I will be getting a 360 at the end of the month. Are the problems that plagued launch still existant with the consoles in stores at the moment?

Its really a roll of the dice. There still is only one version of xbox 360.

-xboxexpert

It "SHOULDN´T" be happening still, however i would basicaly try to get a Premium Bundle that "doesn´t" have the bonus media remote, or at least you should try to check the date written on the console, and try it to be from february o march, mine is from november and got 3 red lights (and came with bonus media remote)...

and as soon as you get it... get an intercooler

yep, i got the three red lights of doom. And I got the 0102 error code. I talked to the M$ help support but all they gave me was a complete load. I guess I'm going to have to ship it out. Only problem is the warranty ran out. :( Does anyone know if I have to get the extended warranty to get it fixed?

- Whybotherwithmine
yea. its done

dude... when i called M$ they didn´t even asked me about warranty or where did i buy it or when, they only asked for the serial number and if it was bought in the U.S., mine is right now at the repair center, its suposed to be repaired, but they haven´t sent it back yet..... .... they should have 2 days ago...


so... dont be afraid to send it in... make them repair their lack of quality...

I'm getting 0021. Funny thing is that it just happens sometimes. I could game for about 2 weeks without having a problem and than suddenly it would fail at startup or lock up during a game. And I will need to restart it like 20 times and then it will work back for a week or so. I'm sure it isn't a heat problem. It looks like if I move the console a bit it might work back (sometimes).

dont be afriad to buy a 360, the reason you hear about so many consoles failing is because people who have working ones don't complain

say even you saw 30 people on here with defunk consoles, theres another 1000 whos are perfect

i was getting the 0101 - 0102 n another i forgot..0110 i think... lol.. so anyways.. heres what i did.. I bought a MS to put my xbl stuff there, games n account n other stuff i could fit... so anyways, i start playing the some games for 4 days the system has been working fine.. so i was thinking it was something with the GT being recovered, since this is my second system n i keep the hd from first.. so what i did today was but back my gt to hd.. didnt turned it on for 8 hrs... so i get home turn it on.. n bam 3 flashing lights, but system still boots up(0101 error) .. so i put my gt back to ms n took it off system... recovered it, this time it said something about my games saves or something like that....so anyways i proceed to recover it.. so now my gt its on hd n my ms(not connected to system) i will check again tomorrow if i get the 3 red lights.. have had only one freeze on dashboard so far

ok, its been a couple of days n i can say that my xbox 360 hasnt had any more errors ... so yay for me...

damn it. it started doing it again

Yep, I'm getting 0110 errors. I am now getting the 3 blinking lights on the ring of light about 99% of the time. When it does boot up, it only works at the most a few minutes. It looks as though MS has extended warranties past 90 days so you might have a chance.

GAD DAMN STUPID XBOX!!!! i was playing an inportant ranked game on halo 2 when pow! the screen got all wierd and froze up. it kinda looked like the NES glitch up screens. you all know what i mean with all the blinking colors and crap. so i turned off my xbox after a period of screaming around and puching my room mate in the shoulder, turn it back on only to see none other than.... dun dun dun!!!! the 3 blinking lights of doom!!!! i got the code 0022.... can anyone shed some light on my situation? i would call MS but it it 6 in the morning and i stayed up all night pissed off trying to figure out what was wrong.

Now I got 0102. The Xbox 360 was booting up and suddely it froze (the X-logo). Turned it off and it wouldn't boot anymore. Tried now about 20 times. Guess this one is fatal...

Edit : Progress. After +- 40 reboots I got it working once. But now it's the 0020 error...

Edit2 : Works again. Shaking it really helps. They should put that in the manual...

OK, I think I found the problem. The protective foil was still on the GPU heatsink
I hope there isn't any permanent damage...

i had the same thing on my GPU!!!! Called MS and they said nothing.... they avoided my whole question!!!!

Yeah its a bit annoying when they avoid questions like that or they change the subject....

I had the error 4142 which doesnt seem to be listed? I had the same thing happen to me as everyone else, the freezing, the black screens etc.. Except i unplugged everything for an house, put it all together TIGHT and lft it WIDE open for 3 hours. I came home and it was working again, i dont know for how long though.

when all 4 blink that is a 0 so you have the 0102 error which I just got as well. Mine happened after I froze in the BF2MC demo and now it just keeps giving me the error it either has to do with the downloaded demos or the power supply I think.

E65- problem with DVD. Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip (or DVD timeout I think).

My friend, Bionix from xbox-scene.pl test it

Any idea what type of RAM the xbox 360 uses? I heard that error 0102 is a problem with the RAM. Its gotta be cheaper buying 512MB or Ram and installing it myself rather than paying the $129 repair charge.

So I had a 360 for 3 days and it died. I just pulled 0102 has anyone figured that one out yet? By the way its deffinatly not fixed yet as the build date on mine was 3-24-06.

error code "0102" is LITTERALLY "unknown problem" meaning the Xbox doesn't even know what's wrong

Top post updated... thanks to sowa99 and XGX xINSANITYx we now have possible definitions for 0022 and E65

Samsung K4J52324QC-BC14 - 512Mbit GDDR3

Datasheet:

Doesn't look easy to replace, it's a 136pin BGA (ball grid array), unlike the ram chips on the Xbox 1.



Exactly. I haven't had one single problem yet with my 360 (knock on wood), it runs great. All I did was put Arctic Silver 5 on the heatsinks, and put a heatsink on the southbridge.

Since I've heard about all these ram problems, I'm going to work on a way to cool all the ram chips effectively, since only 2 of the 8 have anough room around them to put a heatsink on.

that right there means im sol .... 0102 here. happend yesterday,no warranty, 129$ for a problem that is unknown = bs. i had mine since day 1 tho. mostly played halo 2, oblivion & graw (which the problem happend on). somebody should find out what the possibilitys of defect are, and a way to repair. i would be grateful.
