had this error 3 times(3 boxes) tried re-flowing hana sb nothing re flowed gpu 2of them worked had a stubborn one re-flowed gpu couldn't fix so i added

shim and screw set under gpu as last resort added 2 washers on 3 on top then 1on 4th screw played around with the tighten each one loosen so on boom it worked

 

steoc on 2010-03-09 15:14:01 :

I think this is an 0102 cold joint under the southbridge or GPU, sometimespressing eject twice fast gives a 1 and pressing it once gives a 0 so it could

be 0102, 0103, 0110 but you get 0 and 1 out of it and thats all it keepsresetting back to the first 0 when eject is pressed once.

You may get this error if you have not fully pushed the power cable into thepower port. Ensure the cable is pushed in as far as it can go (You will hear a

click in most cases when it's pushed far enough). 

koriashi on 2010-11-04 05:25:18 :ok, so im getting this error code but as SOON as I turn it on the power supplyclicks and flashes red for like a half second then goes back orange. I get no

fan or dvd action. I checked all over the motherboard and I didnt find anythingwrong. Idk if its the MOSFETS because I have no way of checking them. jus

wondering if anybody knows why the psu led just flashes one time and goes backto orange.. thanks

I just did this hybrid X clamp mod to my XBOX and it did worked for a couple ofdays, but now I have this 102 code and 1 red light light. What can it be, or

what possible whent wrong? I would appreciate if I get a good answer and not goof coarse with other comments because its very important for me to find an

answer quick.  

luigirez1 on 2010-10-19 22:27:07 :Can also be caused by a transistor breaking off and being replace by a solderbridge. It also happened when a short is created by the motherboard cage. I

fixed that by putting electrical tape on the bottom of the cage where themotherboard touches.

 

mynamesuxlol on 2010-10-10 21:02:58 :Can also be caused by southbridge, i would apply pressure, then 0002 is gone, i

take away the pressure > 0002 

babyface015 on 2010-03-23 19:17:29 :I had this problem with mine xbox, and i solved this problem by just adding some

thermal compount onder the CPU, i don't know if this always solves thisproblem

 

killrhedake on 2010-01-07 23:28:56 :This also occurs when the washers used in an X-clamp mod are too large. It

causes a bridge between the GPU and CPU heatsink. Using plastic washers orreverting to the stock x-clamps will combat this error.

dmcbudman on 2010-07-27 05:35:10 :

i can confirm that 0003 on a falcon is a gpu problem.same as solidwars e74

while reflowing to fix the e74 one of the balls popped out from under the gpu(iknow...its the first time i ever saw that happen)

 

solidwars on 2010-05-21 20:17:27 :

I had this same problem after heat gun reflow on E74 error it gave me 3 RRODsecondary code 0003. I tried loosening the CPU heatsink it made no difference

then i tried the GPU heatsink and it started up. It was working but i wasnthappy with looseness of the heatsink against mobo so decided to try nylon

washers (slightly thicker) with metal ones on top. No idea how long it will lastbut working for 3 days proper use so far.

 

nzlab on 2010-05-16 19:56:48 :

Some of the boards that I've experimented with, 0003 occurred after ikilled the GPU.

1)If you worked on the mainboard recently(soldered or so) remove these wires because you might be drawing too much power from the GPUAlso look for missing/bridged components like capacitors/resistors2) If you jtagged the console remove wires and resistors, the parallel port can stay as long as no PC is connected.3) X-Clamp replacement4) Flush with alcohol, let dry, begin Relow with flux like below 5) Reflow GPU (and RAM if this fails) area6) Reball the GPU and RAM, for bridged solder

Related Errors:No Related Errors available!

Description:This error is caused by a bridged solder joint under CPU, GPU or one of the RAM bricks.This effect can also be caused by tin whiskers leading to shorts and if the GPU was taken off the mainboard this error will also show up.It can also be power related(the CPU/GPU or RAM isnt getting enough power). Can also be a component that is missing or damaged so look for missing and bridged parts near the GPU.If the console was jtagged and the resistors and cables are still connected it will show 0020, the parallel port can stay as long as no PC is connected.

Any thoughts? She was working tip-top, no graphics issues and then at the 45min. mark it was like...1 second of green bars and then auto cut-off. Is it

possible that the unit loosened-up with heat and I just need to tighten up theheat sinik screws? Also, if I don't do anything can I expect depreciating

game-time? Sorry for the thesis, but I appreciate any feedback you guys canoffer.

 

domn8r81 on 2010-11-30 05:45:46 :Older unit been using it for the last two years in Caribbean (can u say

humid?). Began locking-up and graphics issues culminating in 0102. While in 3rdworld performed a real hack job replacing the x-clamps (didn't have stuff

and made washers using abalone guitar picks). Got about 4 hours of play out ofit but then that was it.

Now back in the US, serious about the fix. Did a hybrid and the secondarychanged from 0102 to a 0020. Read more (great info on this site guys, keep it

up) and did a low-temp oven bake. Debated doing a flux flush and oven reflow orheat gun but decided to put her back 2-gether and giver a go. Got 45 min. and

then 2rod shutdown.

She rebooted fine after a little rest but thinking Flux and reflow? thx!

This error also comes when there is a short on dvd board like a bad tracesoldering on LiteOn drive. I saw 0021 from a damaged LiteON PCB from screw

over-tightening while the PCB was misaligned. 

halo3 on 2010-11-10 03:37:43 :Can also just be some dust buildup in your 360, just blow it out and clean it.

I've had this in some cases, so it's not an oddity. -halo3

 

v41p3r on 2010-08-11 07:40:44 :So first do the xClapmFix and if it still doesn't work - on the tutorial i

saw you had to put 2 washes on each bolt on the upper side of the motherboard,so if yours is the same remove 1 from each bolt only from the ones that hold the

GPU cooler thingy and screw it real tight ( sorry for my bad english - i'mbulgarian after all :D:D )

 

Wilhelm on 2010-06-30 03:28:50 :If it is a natural 0020 it is tin whiskers in most cases thats why

overheating(DONT DO THAT) or reflowing the solder balls fixes it.The tin whiskers are just ultrathin antennas so when they get hot the top parts

break off or if they actually reflow they will be sucked up by the solder.. 

NickdogV on 2010-06-09 06:11:50 :I do not believe this 0020 Error code is a bridged solder joint because I repair

these all the time. Usually a bridged solder joint involves luck to getrepaired using a reflow station instead of using reballing equipment. 0020 is

most likely caused by a cold solderjoint underneath the GPU that can be repairedwith a heatgun/griddle.

 

killrhedake on 2010-05-18 09:40:04 :I successfully relieved a twentied console last week. Initially I found I could

get it to boot with additional pressure on the GOU heatsink but only toward theCPU heatsink. I did the xclamp mod on GPU side only and tightened the hell outof the GPU heatsink, like as hard as I could with my hands alone, and voila! It

has worked like a charm ever since. 

hargabyte on 2010-04-24 09:23:21 :I got this error after doing a reflow for a 0102 error. has hybrid xclamp on it.

I loosened the screws a little and it works fine now. I think it was just ashort caused by the heatsink

Primary Error code: 3 RLODE-Code / Secondary Error code: E10 (No Audio/Video) / 0022

Binary/Hex: 00001010 / 0x0A -> 10Known fixes:

1)If you soldered anything to the mainboard before it occured, whatever you are powering from this point is drawing too much power so get rid of it.Also get rid of everything that you can see that might bridge anything near the GPU.2) X-Clamp replacement3) Reflow GPU and HANA chip4) If it\'s not the GPU/(H)ANA, it might in rare cases be the CPU and can be fixed by reflowing the CPU.5) if you flash with xell on JTAG-fixed xbox360 this will appear, flash back to original.6) also can be caused by a broken trace (see link below).

Related Errors:No Related Errors available!

Description:This error is caused by a bridged/shorting solder joint under the GPU, (H)ANA-chip or in between.It can also be power related though, for example if you are drawing power from one of the regulators that power the GPU and HANA-chip.Can also be a component that is missing or damaged so look for missing parts near the GPU and the HANA chip. In extremely rare cases it might also be related to the lines that lead from HANA to the CPU.The chances are however higher that it is the GPU than the HANA chip so you should always first concentrate on the GPU.

Another cause could be due to a broken trace under the board near one of the ram blocks, check the picture in the reference section. Thank you arvydas for reporting this solution!

Investigated board for any signs of the problem and found that the gpu or cpuheatsink (can't quite remember which one) was making contact with a nearbyresistor. I attempted to loosen the screws attached to the heatsink but made it

overheat quickly. To fix this, I removed the heatsinks completely, appliedelectrical tape underneath completely covering under the heatsink except of

course the gpu or cpu chips.  

PRiME on 2010-07-26 07:28:56 :I had this error caused by a bad reflow. I reballed the GPU and error was goneso it definitely can be linked to a bridged solder joint under the GPU as well.

If you can't do reballing it may make it a bit hard to fix so perhaps useHIGH grade high quality flux to repair it?

Description:This error is caused by a cold solder joint under CPU, GPU or one of the RAM bricks. Can also be a component that is missing or damaged so look for missing parts near the GPU.

 

Comments for this Error code:espa on 2010-12-08 00:25:43 :

Fixed over a hundred of these with no problems. The GPU just needs to bereflowed using the profile available on here, but you need to leave the griddleon for 30 minutes after the repair. It works everytime. Like I said, over a 100

of these and not one return in 9 months! 

texasproxmodsxe on 2010-11-20 22:42:38 :O1O2 ALSO can be scratched trace on board under gpu due to removing x-clamps

with screwdriver

the Heat sink?

i have this error code on an xbox and ficed it multiple times but it keepscoming back after a week or sow:s does anybody now how i can fix this, i have

done the x-clamp replacement, heatgunt it at 500 degrees celcius, i cut the temptrace beceause that was an error to and i did a 12 volt fan mod. but it keeps

coming back, does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?? please help

NickdogV on 2010-06-09 06:15:37 :This is the most common error code that I see in all the xboxs I repair. About

55-60% of the 3RROD units has this 0102 secondary error code. It is caused by a

Page 15: Error Codes

cold solder joint underneath the GPU. Heatgun/Griddle will repair these if youknow what you are doing.

 

hargabyte on 2010-04-19 04:13:29 :I wouldnt suggest putting an aluminum sheet on your gpu. The only reason this

might work is if the heatsink is scratched up. try sanding down your heatsinkwith really fine sandpaper. Also Griff, a hair dryer is now going to help. There

is no way the chip will ever get hot enough. Solder has to reach about 220C tomelt. Thats around 500F.

I have fixed several systems with this error. reflowing the cpu and gpu andreplacing the thermal paste has worked every time for me. I have yet to have one

of these that I couldnt fix

Edox on 2010-03-27 23:47:11 :I just was attempting to fix an xbox 360 with a gpu error by reflowing the top

and bottom of the gpu chip. Then, when i put everything back together, the errorwas replaced with this. Would this be an easy fix. I have a heatgun, articsilver 5, and penny's to replace thermal pads. All i ned to know is which

out of all of those will fix this error :D 

bigalscot on 2010-01-23 22:27:00 :Have to say i've cooked my MB in oven, changed thermal paste and still get

the RROD 0102. Used aluminum foil on GPU as a last attempt. It works perpectly.  

killrhedake on 2010-01-16 05:25:13 :Replace thermal paste. 98% of the time, that is the problem. One of the

heatsinks are touching their chip. No X-clamp Mod necessary. Just replace thethermal paste with Arctic Silver 5.

 

Griff on 2009-12-15 02:12:31 :Penny fix then heat with classic heirdryer is help me )

 

focusthis51 on 2009-12-12 00:23:14 :adding an a piece of aluminum sheet to the gpu usually fixes this problem.

Description:This error is caused by a cold solder joint under one of the RAM chips, mostly its the top ones, sometimes it can also be one of the solder balls under the GPU that lead to the RAM. Update:According to stephen a.j it can also be cause by a broken trace that connects the GPU and the RAM, the reason for it to break could be the flexing in this certain area.

 

Comments for this Error code:masterfulmatt on 2010-11-25 01:43:28 :

Can confirm this can be caused by heatsink shorting capacitor, cured usingkapton tape to insulate capacitors.

Triokon on 2010-08-29 10:36:06 :(I just achieved it that the box didnt show any errors anymore and started withzero green/red lights, but there was only a blackscreen on TV and sounds for

just a few seconds, although the TV turned his screen to 1080p.)Really hard to believe that a RAM chip just breaks, though the xbox was in

normal playing conditions. But it physically happened. [(Part 2 of thecomment)]

 

Triokon on 2010-08-29 10:35:25 :One of my boxes had this error. In my case it wasn`t a cold solder joint under

one of the RAM chips (4 reflows, a x-clamp-fix and a penny fix would have fixedthat), but a very small brick in a corner of one the RAM chips at the downside

of the board (which looked like a small hair on the chip). I fixed this formaybe an hour by lifting up the broken part of chip at the same height of theother chip with a very small screwdriver. Then the 0110 occured again and I

couldn`t fix it anymore. (Part 1 of the comment)  

NickdogV on 2010-06-09 06:18:12 :Reflowing the GPU gets these repaired 80-85% of the time. If it's not theGPU then reflow the RAM. 99% of the time it is the 2 RAM chips directly

I had the 3RROD with error 0111 and did the following: (NOTE: i have no warrantyand the seal was broken by someone else so do not do this unless you know what

can happen)

REMEMBER TO CLEAN ALL OLD THERMAL PASTE OFF BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE

REFLOW W/HEAT GUN, GRIDDLE & TEMP. GUN ON 4 RAM CHIPS/SOUTHBRIDGE &HANA
