*sigh* first time in months that i actually try to play, and this happened. Image froze into a checkerboard pattern just as i was finally completing the sabre level of reach :(
Tried the fixes listed by M$ on the frozen screen one, but the image kept freezing at random times. Today, its gone all 3rrod on me with the secondary error code 0102.
My xbox is about 3+ years old, had one 2-ring problem (which was fixed with the x-clamp replacement). I'm in a foreign country with no Microsoft support and have very little skill in electronics...
So, should i attemp wooly's heat gun fix or is the oven reflow fix a viable option? I don't have a heat gun, and its going to be a while before i can find one if i am going to attemp wooly's fix. any experience on which one works/ doesn't work/ is better?
Or is it time for a new xbox? i can't find much info on the slim's failure rate...
thanks

Oven reflow should work if you are follow timings correctly. I would rather go for the heatgun method myself. However, in my experience 0102 is probably the easiest one to recover from...you could may get it to run for a bit longer by redoing the x-clamp fix, but you'll need to do a proper reflow the solder joints at some point.
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

Followed w00lys tutorial before with success but yesterday some liquid leaked out of a couple of caps. I always cover them with alunimum foil but I obviously didn't do a good enough job. :( I don't suppose I can just replace the caps with ones from another 360? I know it's probably not worth the trouble but I am in Ireland and it's an ntsc 360 so it's more valuable to me than a pal.

Alrighty, i'll try to find a heat gun (went around town today to look for one, but no luck. will head to the next town sometime this week to see if they have any or find someone who does reflowing -_-). If i can't find anything by Thursday(which is what most likely will happen), i guess i'll just oven it and hope for the best.
is the ultimate oven reflow tutorial by wilhelm a sufficient guide for attempting it?

Got it working! couldn't find any heatgun / reflow station so i stuck my motherboard in the oven for a few hours at 70 deg C instead (read somewhere i shuld attempt that first before the oven reflow). re-assembled it and it's been running for five hours now. everything seems ok so far. thank you all for the help.

Yeah you can solder out the bad cap and solder in a new one. Just make sure it is the same and you have it soldered in the right polarity.

this is why I dont tell people to cover the caps in aluminum foil. Aluminum is a good conductor of heat, traps heat in and provides a false sense of security. If you're going to insulate, put some kind of non-conducting foam type material down first. Personally I just avoid directing heat on the caps and havent had any issues

Yeah I definately think because I did a poor job putting down the aluminum foil it actually trapped the heat rather than reflecting it. Ahh lesson learned.

when i used the heat gun way back when,,,i didnt use anything to cover up the parts of the board,,as long as you got steady hands and know what your doing,,you can get away with not covering up anything,,never had any problems,,as long as you point the heat gun to where needed,,
