After carefully reviewing the xbox360 interior design, we can found X-shaped Button is a serious design flaws. They enable the force points in the deformation of the motherboard and slowly joints resulting from a defect in the heat. Therefore, we want to get rid of X-shaped Button, using other method to fix radiator, so that the radiator power could be evenly distributed. This tutorial is to help you re-install the radiator.
1. First, open your 360. To-use tools: T10 and T8 screwdriver is the kind of plum-shaped.
2. When you open the 360 later, the DVD drive out, the machine behind the fan is also removed. Remove the tin at the bottom of the screws, take out the entire motherboard. Board turn over, you can see the two X-shaped radiator fixed BUCKLE. Now remove them. Do not use brute force removed, otherwise it will crush the chip core.
3. Remove the radiator, the clean-up on-chip thermal conductivity silicone grease, until the mirror-like surface of the chip. When cleaning wipe with cotton swab dipped in alcohol, slowly. In addition, the radiator is also clear out remnants of silicone grease. Fixed on the radiator to remove the four screws column.
4. Modification used in some of the material:
a. 8 M5 (diameter 5mm) of the screw (bolt), 10mm long
b. 16 of plastic gasket (washer-nylon), diameter greater than 5mm
c. 16 metallic gasket (washer-metel), diameter greater than 5mm
d. Artic Silver thermal conductivity of silicone grease (this not easy to find, with the general instead of on the line)
5. Chips and radiator are all tidied up, the necessary components are ready. Attention plastic gasket contact with the motherboard, the metal pads on the outside. Two pads on each side (a plastic, a metal). Installed gasket, the radiator and the spacing between motherboard and the original equipment were almost X-shaped BUCKLE. (Note: you buy may not be the same as the thickness of the pads, the pitch was his grasp. Thickness of the radiator out of the reach chips; thin the last screws to be careful when 1.1 point, or will be crushed chips. In short as far as possible and the original equipment were almost X-shaped BUCKLE)
6. Now the most important part. Like you like the above, re-install radiator, the Do not tighten the screws, as long as a little twist on the like. The motherboard back into the tin, the installed power switch board, so that we can see from the indicator 360 when overheated. I put DVD back into the motherboard, put it aside, I do not know that there is not necessary. Do not take the fan. Plug in video cable, or 360 will automatically shut down. Finally connect the power cord. Boot, it is possible that you will see three red lights. No fans, will soon chip will overheat. When it overheats from the three red lights turned into two red, two are on the left. I waited 2 minutes after the shutdown. (Note: two red lights in the display, after waiting for 2 minutes and then shut down) This is to fix bad solder joints (similar to the toothpick method, a towel wrapped law). And other board cool down and put it out to the fixed radiator screws tightened a bit like. (Note that the four screws tight or too loose to be consistent, so that force evenly radiator)
7. And so it is completely cold, put the individual components are loaded into the tin, the motherboard, power switch board, DVD, fan. You can also take some heat to the machine measures, which would be beneficial. Well cross your fingers now pray, I hope you have in this tutorial under the guidance of the machine repaired.
