Cnce Lhe x-Clamps are removed, you can remove boLh. 1he chlps are fraglle llke glass, so
remove Lhe heaLslnks off Lhem carefully.

6. Cleaning the Thermal Compound off CPU GPU and Heatsinks

your console ls already open.
Plug in the drive, eject it. Hold it open, and force it to stay open as you turn off the console.
Then unplug it:

8emove Lhe 4 screws.


8emove Lhe plaLe.


1ake ouL Lhe drlve from Lhe oLher slde Loo.



Apply Lhe 4 self-adheslve pads as seen above.


lor Lhe belL, wlLh Lhe drlve e[ecLed, remove Lhe old belL wlLh your flnger or screwdrlver. 1hen
replace Lhe new belL onLo Lhe same pulleys and puL Lhe drlve back LogeLher.

8b. Optionally install 4 Pink/White RAM pads (if included.)

9. Overheat the GPU
THIS NEXT STEP IS OPTIONAL. WE RECOMMEND IT BECAUSE YOUR SYSTEM IS
ALREADY OPEN. It is something to try if you system isnt working yet.



P.

llrsL meLhod - Case lan: ?ou can resL Lhe case fan on Lop of Lhe uvu player as plcLured, and
make sure lL lsnL knocklng anyLhlng when you Lurn Lhe sysLem on because you can damage
your case fan. lL ls also sharp when movlng, so be careful noL Lo cuL yourself.


Cool Palr uryer MeLhod: l prefer Lo use a halr dryer wlLh Lhe CCCL swlLch very flrmly Laped
down. 1hls works beLLer Lhan Lhe case fan meLhod, buL obvlously requlres a halrdryer Lhan can
do cool alr only. SomeLlmes when a sysLem ls overheaLlng qulckly, (2 red llghLs), Lhe halrdryer
wlll apply more coollng and allow you Lo flnlsh Lhls sLep. l use Cus or someLhlng slmllar Lo Lhe
alr from geLLlng Lo Lhe Cu slde, slnce we need Lhe Cu slde Lo geL hoL. We do Lhls all Lo help
Lhe solder make beLLer connecLlons.

l usually prop Lhe back of Lhe halr dryer up on Lhe power brlck so lL ls close Lo Lhe Cu.
1he case fan has Lo be aLLached Lo Lurn on Lhe console.

I
1PL Cu CvL8PLA1:
1. ?ou should loosen Lhe Cu screws a blL for Lhe overheaL. 1hey should sLlll be screwed ln all
Lhe way, [usL noL under much pressure. 1hls allows Lhe Cu Lo geL hoLLer.
2. 1o Lurn on Lhe sysLem, press Lhe small sllver buLLon on Lhe mlddle of Lhe 8l Module
connecLed Lo Lhe uS8. lL ls ok Lo geL 3 red aL Lhls Llme. (Creen llghLs are ok aL Lhls phase Loo.)
3. LeL Lhe sysLem heaL up for aL leasL 13 mlnuLes. keep Lhe fan over Lhe Cu porLlon (Lall) for
Lhls. Watch the system to make sure it doesnt go to 2 red lights early. lf lL does, do lL over, buL
you wlll need Lo cool Lhe Cu down more, or ad[usL Lhe Lenslon of Lhe Cu screws, (8C8A8L?
sllghLly LlghLen). Conslder beLLer coollng by uslng Lhe meLhod wlLh a halr dryer on cool seLLlng lf
you are sLlll havlng lssues.
4. AfLer 13 mlnuLes ls up, verlfy LhaL Lhe sysLem dldnL go Lo 2 red llghLs yeL.
3. 1he flnal sLep of Lhe over heaL ls Lo Lake Lhe fan away from Lhe Cu, so LhaL lL ls noL blowlng
alr on elLher heaLslnk.
6. lor abouL 2-3 mlnuLes, we wlll leL Lhe sysLem run wlLhouL any fans unLll lL does flnally geL 2
red llghLs, whlch means overheaL.
7. LeL lL slL for abouL 13 mlnuLes Lo cool down. uonL speed up Lhe process by blowlng alr on lL.
1hls can crack Lhe solder [olnLs.
8. lf Lhe sysLem ls worklng afLer lL has cooled down, LlghLen back Lhe Cu screws and you may
belng Lo Lake lL aparL Lo puL lL back lnLo Lhe case.


10. Powering up the System Testing for Green Lights

AfLer dlssembllng everyLhlng Lo LlghLen Lhe 8 screws, puL lL all back.

llnally, puL Lhe 8l module back ln and waLch for Lhe green llghL LhaL you would see when you
normally Lurned on your x8Cx 360.
lf you see Lhe green llghLs, you are ready Lo puL lL all back LogeLher.

If you still have an XBOX that isnt working:
Some people say to do the overheat again.

If you still have 3 red lights or E74 you should look into our uniclamp and southbridge fixes. Our
uniclamp fix has the highest success rate of any product we have developed to date. It is the first
line for all E74 systems. The southbridge fix will also work for many E67, E69, E71, E73, E76, E79.

If you have not been able to get your system working you should try these fixes. If you already
bought a kit and it didnt work, we will give you a break on the price if you e-mail us.

Sometimes for E74 1 red light, it is advised to try tightening the two screws on the north-side of
the GPU, closer to the fan. If you have 2 red lights, this can be the RAM chips. This needs to be
reflowed. Some report success using a hairdryer on the RAM chips and then holding them down
with pressure until they cool.




1he flrsL parL of puLLlng Lhe sysLem back LogeLher wlll be puLLlng Lhe moLherboard back lnLo Lhe
