Isn’t it also to do USB ports shorting out. I have a Xbox 360 with 0020 it first had DVD drive problems I swamped it . Fine then it got e74 error and done towel trick.fineca came back so opened it and changed the thermal paste and e74 error went then I got 2 red lights and other various problems and added it up and it had 7 different errors and now it has got stuck with 0020 I’ve done the x clamp fix and nothing and when I over heat the gpu/CPU the fans don’t get louder someone shed some light

Hi iDeMonz, I used the x-clamp fix for RRoD with error code 0020. Bought M5 screews and nylon washers from hardware store (B&Q in UK). Cleaned old paste off CPU/GPU and heat sinks. Applied new paste, x-clamp fix applied and problem gone. I did made sure that the heat sinks had a uniform gap to the motherboard. The nylon washers I used were size M6 (slightly bigger) so I had to snip an edge on two washers to stop the adjacent washers on the GPU and CPU heat sinks overlapping.

Not sure about the missing component on the CPU.

I don’t like the idea of the heat gun, could be a bit risky if you apply to much heat or apply heat to the wrong place. The x-clamp fix instructions on the site will handle the solder cold spots by allowing the xbox to overheat for 2 minutes – much more control than the heat gun – In my opinion

Good luck

Andy

OK, i need lots of help. i have done the X clamp fix, applied arctic silver 5, and heat gunned the board. i still have 0020 and i don’t think its any of what you guys are talking about. recently, I’ve noticed one little component missing on the CPU. can this be whats wrong? I’ve searched everywhere and no one said anything about 0020 being related to the CPU. i would love to get some help with someone who has dealt with the same problem. Plz reply, thanks.

I found something interesting about the 0020 3 rrod error. I initially started with the 0020 error and after inserting spacers and locking the two heat sinks firmly onto the mb using nuts on the 8 bolts and replacing the thermal paste I still had the same error.

I then found that pulling on the heatsink gave me a different error code 0102. After playing around with it I found between these two error codes (loosening and tightening the heatsink) , the unit would function normally or at least not rrod as I got the unit for free and don’t have AV connector yet to fully test it out. Might mean something to someone struggling with this problem.

I would like to rectify my previous post, both CPU & GPU are affected, I just had to complete the X-clamp on the CPU as well on an Xbox that i had previously fixed only GPU X-clamp, one advice if you’re opening to fix the x-clamps, since you’re already gonna open it up, fix both CPU & GPU, might save you the time. @ Nick, what is your error code? Incase you don’t know how to get it (power on Xbox and when 3 lights are flashing Press and hold sync botton then eject button 4 times, taking note of how many lights are on every time you press it thats your code error which is then interpreted: 4 lights = 0 ; 3 lights= 3; 2 lights= 2; 1 light= 1 and 0 lights= 4.) Could be that your xbox is shutting off power to whole circuitry thus your CPU & GPU without power cannot heat, also try fixing the fans to see if they spin, if they do then try putting them over only the GPU (it does get hotter faster than the CPU). Hope this helps. good luck. @ ohah ya: try mail me, I don’t really understand your problems. please be more specific : arp_midnight@libero.it

Your best bet since everyone is having problems with rrod and it’s usaully a hassle to fix, you should try to liquid cool it, it can get kinda expensive depending on which setup you choose but overall it’s a great investment
