Mas

i had three light after fixing it now i got two ----i know xbox is not hot but it keep giving me 2 red lights
Does no one knows?

You are in the wrong forum, this is for the original xbox- you want to be in the 360 forum.
Two red lights is overheating. Make sure the fan is connected and working. Maybe you forgot to reconnect it?

Moved. . . .

loosen the screws/bolts on your cpu only a little bit.

wats the secondary error code?

There is no secondary error code since it is overheating. You do not have good contact with the heatsink and your chips.

I am 100% positive you have an tiny air gap there...

(lobing on extra thermal paste doesn't help either... it should be a very thin coat.

I would play with tightening and losening the screws.. if that doesn;t work you may need to put washers in.

Without giving the exact details of the mod you need I cant really help further.

two red lights does give a secondary error code. i dont mean onscreen, but by using the sync and eject button

Not if it's overheating what is the most likely situation here. At least zephyr and falcon do not I'm not sure about xenon...

my zaphyr board does, gave me a 0011 with 2 red lights the other day (CPU over heating). if you look at the error codes explained thread, there are a few secondary error codes that are due to overheating

if you need proof that a 2 red light board does give a secondary error code (no matter what revision motherboard it is), im always happy to provide it

Hm, only tested it on one zephyr board and it went straight back to 2 red lights without showing a code and I think my falcon did it too... not sure tho...
Anyway, it's overheating so time to check the contact between heatsink and C/GPU

Edit:

I don't need proof You seem pretty confident. Maybe my board was just really dead Couldn't revive it

mine is dead too, i beleive the temp sensor has blown. it gives 2ROD at boot up with the CPU overheat error 0011. i have tried everything, even gives the same error with the CPU heatsink removed (which should give me a different secondry error). heatsinks dont get warm, and the PSU shuts off all power to the board except the 3.3V line. but anyway, this thread isnt about me

well ladies and gentelmen
red lights are gone--------------after fu***King around for hours and hours i am not getting any red light but now my game freeze after 15 mins of playing...i can start up game again it will go for 14-16 mins it freeze again. help about this freezeing problem

Freezing means the problem is not fixed...

As the box heats up you get thermal expansion and you break the contacts again causing the box to lock up.

Some boxes can not be fixed with an xclamp replacement.

Did you use a heatgun?? You really need to reflow the solder under the chips.
