360 repair manuals?

Hi again all,

I'm after the official test/hardware debug/repair manuals that MS use when fixing 360s. Can anyone hook me up?

Cash waiting...

There must be someone out there who can help. Mercy shot:



Nobody?

just a curous question. retail or debug? Also what issues are they having?

 

1 code 0002 (network error)
3 code 0102 (general failure, they've been reflowed though)
3 code 0020/0022 (overheating)
1 with dead drive
2 unknown

They're all retails.

While I am not an expert this may help

The dead drive should be one of the easier ones to fix. pull the drive out and grab the info just as if you were modding the drive. Buy another drive, same type, and reflash it. I believe xboxscenes has some writeups on this.

On the network look for a bad solder joint. around were the network connection is.

On overheating will they power up and than overheat in a period of time or just fan goes into superdrive and it dies?

 

Yeah, I know about drive replacements. I was going to pull one of the 0102's drives, they're not going to need it again

The overheating ones: 1 dies immediately on boot (probably bad heatsink contact) and a couple boot to the dashboard but fall over when you try and run a game. I'm more interested in possible reasons for the 0102s though, really; I'm working for a place that fixes dead consoles atm and we get a hell of a lot in...would be awesome to be able to run through some of the MS checks and save some people some money

Haha, we get a lot in, too! These things were INCREDIBLY poorly designed - that heatsink / airflow is ludicrous!

Err, are you scrawling on customers' consoles? Ever heard of sticky labels? ;-) hehe!

You're down Salisbury way, right? Are you working for TCR in Dorset? I'm not sure how they can charge what they do any more - their prices are virtually the price of a second hand (or in some cases new) console! Good for 360, if they can definately repair them, though.
