Hello

Offering Reball or Chip Re-pinning to those who need it.

Can do a Reball to the various Chips on the Phat 360: GPU, CPU, HANA, Southbridge and RAM. Using Leaded spheres.

As for the Slim: if the stencils carry over for the same design - then we are good to go.

Common chips that need Reballing are usually the GPU and sometimes the Southbridge

So - if you are interested or curious please send me a personal message or reply post. I usually come to this message board site daily. Let me know in detail the problem your 360 is experiencing.

Can handle a few other RROD issues like the 0001 and 0002. Also can replace certain parts of the DVD drive.

360 consoles will most likely have to be mailed to me. I live near Des Moines in the state of Iowa. Usually I can send a bubble wrapped 360 thru Postal Priority for 10.95

So - contact me for questions or to get the process started.

just adding a comment line to send this posting back to the starting page

bump bump

What are your prices? I have one Jtag Zephyr that needs the GPU replaced (it's warped) and another Zephyr that probably just needs reballing.

United States Postal has just raised their rates

Medium Flat Rate Priority was 10.95 - now 11.35

Best way to ship 360s for the price and the speed.

Entire console fits in the box, even with bubble wrap

PM'ed

members of Xbox scene that I have recently helped:

albcool - GPU reball - has his 360 back in his possession

juvix8888 - beat a 0002 for him on one job & on the second one: resolved a No Power with sub component replacement, plus the HANA was reballed to correct a E74


Three more people from Xbox Scene are sending their consoles to me. Let you know the results when those are done.

time for another bump

hey - offering details on some more Xbox 360 repair jobs

These are Xbox scene members that I have helped

DeVante - needed a GPU Reball for his jtagged system - Completed

effbee05 - also needed a GPU reball - plus a reflow was done to the CPU - Completed

albcool - another GPU reball - job was completed - But issues with a Nand flash are now giving the system and E79 - I DID NOT DO the NAND FLASH - that was prior to my work


youngD765 - needed a GPU reball - sadly, job couldn't be completed ... the CPU chip was fried


Currently doing a project for ShadowGuy ... he wants more RAM installed to his Jasper board

My old Zephyr is working fine! Thanks!

Console should ship tomorrow. Looking forward to getting an old Xenon JTAG working again.

Project for ShadowGuy is finished

I installed 4 Ram chips to the bottom of his Jasper board. He wants a Gig of Ram to his system

ShadowGuy will have to make some adjustment to his system on his end. Looks like the Nand/Cpu need to be acclimated to the new amount of available ram


Currently working on 3 other systems for two different Xbox scene members. Two are for Gpu reball. And one is for correcting a 0002

The 0002 is already done actually

hey again

Those 3 other 360's that I previously mentioned - more Xbox scene members. Two belong to Jcb890 and one to ksuhumpy.

Jcb890 - had one system that was 0002 - and the other 0110

I have already repaired the 0002 situation. Currently working on the 0110

ksuhumpy - a 360 that needs a Gpu reballing and the Dvd drive thoroughly cleaned. I am part way thru this job

Did a great job for a project of mine. Very professional and did a fantastic job at staying in contact.

Interested in a HANA reball... PMd you.

Completed the repair for ksuhumpy

Reballed the Gpu chip. Did some other small mod stuff. This system is a jtaged Xenon

ksuhumpy should have their system back on Thursday. Priority shipping takes two days

A way to cut down the expense of shipping.

Only applies to those who are comfortable with opening and taking apart their 360.

For repairs dealing with reballing, reflowing or component replacement on the motherboard - One only has to send the motherboard.

I have all the side devices for checking to see if repair is complete. So this can greatly cut down the weight that is being shipped.

The entire 360 without hard drive and cords weighs just under 8 pounds. The 360 motherboard itself just weighs under 1 pound. When it comes to Parcel shipping or UPS Ground - weight is everything

1 pound from Boston to Iowa is $5.50 in the Postal system

Or 3 or 4 - 360 motherboards could be sent by Medium Flat Rate Priority for 11.35

If you decide on just shipping the motherboard; you're going to need to protect it. Bubble wrap .... ship it within its stock cage ... just something. Package handlers aren't always careful

If you have questions - just pm me

Will did a GPU reflow for me on my JTAG'ed Xenon.

The system works great now.

I also wanted to say that Will kept in constant contact (moreso than anyone else I've ever done business with online) and is very friendly!

He even did a lot of extra work that I didn't pay for and offered me freebies when he definitely did not have to!

Out of all the people I was considering for for the job, I'm glad I chose him and won't think twice about him if I ever need work done again.

Wish I could buy the guy a beer!

Completed a repair for Jcb890. It was a 0002 - now good. Guess that was old news

Jcb890 has another that is 0110 - and its been more challenging than usual.

Will be tackling an E76 for dopesun - here any day now. Its on route


Some updates on shipping options. If you buy postage online from the Usps, thru the Click N Ship ... You can get two day Priority shipping on a Medium Flat Rate box for 10.85 ... And it will include Tracking for free

Definitely a way to save a few dollars with shipping

So - does anyone have any questions ?

The E76 for dopesun is now repaired

I replaced his ICS ethernet controller chip. Process went very smooth

dopesun has two other consoles for me to check out. Haven't checked their error codes yet, but will soon. Then I will later mention the progress of those

Hey, Do you fix e71 Xbox 360? if so, I have one that needs repair.

dopesun had sent me three consoles

one with a E76 ... one with a E74 ... and one with a E79

The E76 fixed

The E74 fixed

The E79 - has a deep scratch running parallel to the Nand chip. Nailing several traces. Probably nothing I can do there

A bump and some info

Going to provide some info - on a negative slant. But just being truthful; providing some disclosure

Looks like I might have failed two Xbox Scene members in repairs. I don't remember their screen names right off hand. Both named Jake - funny enough. Jake B and Jake T

With Jake B - he sent me two consoles. Only one has been repaired so far.

With Jake T - still trying but it doesn't look good

These should have been textbook reball repairs. But something didn't pan out. There could have been prior repair attempts from other people; that might have affected the chances of completion. Uncertain why there is a failure

Some Positive Work Results

Did a Reball on a Gpu chip for a Laptop. The chip was an AMD Radeon. The laptop - a Toshiba L505D. And this job was for an Xbox-Scene member.

that person - mikeyngo

Going to see if they might leave some comments about this job; here in this topic

They did final assembly ... And said that its working great now

Unbelievable work done by WilGot45. Had a Toshiba L505D Laptop with a GPU issue, very similar to the XBOX360 RROD. WilGot45 never hesitated about my special request, actually he was more excited to get it fix than I am. Communication was kept very constant, actually too constant, he was kinda annoying.. lol Jk jk. Once he special ordered the stencil for my application, he took the time to masked everything off and started the reball.

The item was done the next day when he received the stencil and mailed out. I finally had the chance to assemble my laptop together and its working perfectly. Work was done very professionally.

Thank you WilGot45. I finally found a person I can really trust to get reball dones on xbox360s and also special requests.

just a bump for May 20th

PM Sent on E74 Repair

Completed a repair for apollo46

He had an E74

Reballed the Gpu - system is back up. Also did a little service maintenance to his dvd drive.

Should be mailing his 360 back tomorrow or thurs

Wilgo fixed my XeDK. He not only reballed both chips, but did much more than asked for like fixing soldering points and other things as well. He is a great repairs man! He got everything working and is great on keeping in touch! I HIGHLY recommend him! He does it a great price too!

Thanks so much Wilgo! You're the man! I will definitely ask go to you for more repairs in the future!

Sent you a PM. Interested in getting my Xenon fixed.

I see - ISkate0I - has already posted comments. Which was very cool of him

I was going to comment on the repair work done to his system.

Both his Gpu and Cpu had to be lifted and reballed. They got distorted by the use of a hardware store heatgun. The chips luckily didn't sustain damage, but the pins got way distorted. - That part was corrected

He had also lost some ceramic capacitors from the bottom side of the board. Sort of underneath the Southbridge chip. Five caps in all. And in three locations he had lost some connection pads to the board routes. At two spots the connection pads were intact, so I was able to replace those surface mount caps.

Heatgun might have been responsible for the lost of those Caps too. Heatguns don't do you any favors Ladies and Gentlemen. Just say no

At one point his ejection button for the dvd drive had been replaced. This being the small button assembly that is soldered to the motherboard. The solder joints were real ugly. Cold soldered and clunky. Got those straightened out.

25 watt soldering irons won't cut with the 360. Irons got to be hotter than that. Plus there are better, special tips

Lastly - I replaced his center LED on his Ring of Lights board. The one that was on there was completely blown. It's just me, but I like seeing that center light on when you power up.

Another completed repair for an Xbox Scene Member

Zeroprisonerz

Gpu reball - installation of Leaded pins

Also his drive belt for his dvd drive tray was about to snap. Replaced it.

His console is shipping out today. He should have it on Monday

Just a bump for mid June '12

Hi i have a 360 that overheats after 5 seconds(2 red lights), and it has the 12volt fan mod. How much will it cost to repair it thanks.

Just sent out my 360 to wilgo today it needed reballed and some better cooling mods done I will update.
I put you a note in there seeing if you have time and want to do some more work. Ill paypal that money to you just keep in touch.
As well ill put you in my signature and be a reference if everything works out!

PS... i hope you can make that damn xbox not sound like a damn cargo plane loaded with damn elephants landing on a damn gravel airstrip. Thank you sir!

PPS...had to edit forgot to damn the elephants

My console is running like a champ ---> thank you very much for fixing my 360 and mostly THANKS for the constant communication throughout )

A+

hey dood. do u still have my 2 consoles?

Yes -

You have yet to pay me for the repair. Payment is first - shipment is second

That's how are first deal worked for fixing your E76

I thought the PM u sent me settled the situation?

Plus i know how much i have to pay..

I really dont want to say anymore. So edit your post and dont make "ME" feel like the bad guy..

I will give you my apology. I meant no edge to my comments.

Boards are here. One repaired. Both waiting

I looked to edit - but the option is not there anymore. You posted right after - so I don't have edit option anymore. Unless you can suggest how to now

I guess - let me know

To All Out There

dopesun is probably a decent guy. I don't really know him though

He has had the distinct pleasure of butting heads with me. Which I'm sure is just a trip

I get stubborn sometimes - so this is probably most my fault

you do great work. with great communication. im a shark. it was probably my fault..

Completed a repair for Shawnmos

Another Gpu reball to get the Dashboard back

Plus I replaced the spindle motor in Dvd Drive. The original was braking too hard when the disc was slowed.

These repairs done last week. Shawnmos should have his system back on Monday

Hopefully he will leave his comments here about the work done

Completed a repair for chronotrigger681

He should have his console back in this home Thursday (6-28-12)

Repair was a Gpu chip reball

Did lots of cleaning to the main board, fans and dvd drive.

Oh- and a few minor Cooling Mods. Nothing electrically based.

He was a real good customer to work with

PM me details please. Got a 360 that just red ringed, not sure the error code because it won't display anything hdmi.

This guy is good. Listin to what he says when it comes to shipping listin to what he says is wrong with your box he will be right. Had my box reballed cooling mods done and he told me to ship priority usps only.... i stopped by ups cause its right up the road 29.00--- usps 12.00. He keeps in communication and does good work at good prices. Im not some new memeber. You will be in my sig soon thanks man
YOUR THE SHIZZLE. Keep on keepin on

Hey wilgo! Did you ever get a setup for slim motherboards? I still have one that needs work.

Hi, just wanted to post on this thread to let everyone know that the reball by wilgo45 turned out fine and that my old Xenon xbox360 is now working once again. He even fixed an issue with my DVD drive.

Thanks!

Just recently, I failed on a repair for an Xbox Scene member:

That person is stoopidmnkey

He had a 0102 error to his console. A basic text book reball should have corrected things.

Ended up - just ruined. For the most part, I blame my IR machine. Chinese hunk of crap

So at this time, I am suspending my work on bga chip repairs. Got to get this situation squared away
