Hi all, I have a little RRoD problem that I hope to learn more about:
So I managed to get my hands on my friend's unbanned xbox 360. However, the drawback is that it recently got the RRoD. So I thought I would be clever (big mistake) and try to see if I can fix it. So here are the symptons:
RRod with 3 red segments (segment 1, 3 and 4) FLASHING. DVD Drive or fans dont even rev up, and power brick stays on Orange.
So I looked up on the net for possible solutions and I stumbled across a site that talks about the secondary error code that I can extract by holding down the wireless button and then the DVD drive tray button. The error code I extracted was 0001, which is apparently a power supply problem.
However, I then plug the apparently duff power supply into my working (but banned) xbox, and it fired up and worked fine!!
So is there anybody who can shed more light on this? Any similar experience? I hope to fix this so I can get back on xbox live!
Thank you, any input would be appreciated.

I've heard that some users have just left their console on, even without fans going. I am guessing for a short period of time though, and they said that it would eventually just turn on, and it worked.
Do I recommend this, probably not, but it's what I've heard

im in the same boat as you OP. i have 3 consoles that are giving me this stupid 0001 error. tried 5 different PSUs on them, then tried the PSUs on my spare working console. ill attempt this 'leave the console on' trick in a bit just to see what happens.
Come talk with us on efnet at #elitemods !!! or just click ME

xbox experts suggests doing a reflow http://xbox-experts.com/errorcode/E01/0001/ as well as replacing the MOSFETs but that's a bit more tricky than the reflow, so doing the reflow first would definitely be the way to go imo...the system just doesnt get hot enough on it's own to reflow broken solder

Thanks guys for your input.
I have left my console on for about 20 hours now, still no good. I think I will reflow next, but I will need to give to someone to do as I don't have the equipment.
Thanks again, have a good Christmas all!

i would at least tr an xclamp fix first and secure those heatsinks to the chips with some fresh thermal paste. Then you could at least diagnose if a reflow would be worthwhile.
"This console has been banned from Xbox LIVE for violating terms of service, Yada yada yada..."

I just received this error code on my 360 and my power brick is fine too. Please keep me updated on the reflow and how it goes.
