- When you see the Xbox 360 Slim Corona CPU or GPU temperature rising so quick or stays at about 70 up to 80 degree Celsius right after you turn on the console, then there is a problem with some resistors near the XCGPU and Southbridge.
You can only see this information easily when you run the Freestyle Dashboard. And you have to mod your console first to run it.
This video will show you how to repair it in no time
Enjoy the video. - Hry
The fact that this video is three years old and has corona in the title and it has a COVID 19 warning is funny
Just happened to me- even my XBOX got corona! 😔
It’s because in Spanish corona means crown but CZcams thought it was the virus 😂😂😂
Thank you now my Xbox 360 is working properly
Thanks so much! All I did was reheat the solder on both sides of the one resistor that was giving me a bad reading and checked the ohms. That fixed it and I didn’t have to add any solder.
Do not forget to change the thermal paste under the metal cover of the processor otherwise it will not solve completely.
Yeah
Do you know what to use to put and hold the metal cover back in place after you do this?
@@MarcoS-yd9pf A pasta thermica deve segurar. Senão usa um pouco de cola thermica nos cantos depois de posicionado. Mas bem poquinho so pra ficar no lugar, pois, a pressão do dissipador vai manter ele no lugar.
@@pandainformatica8963 sorry I only speak English. Don't understand
@@MarcoS-yd9pf Nothing...the silicone used to secure it in place from factory that you cut away was only there to stop you from opening it, the new thermal paste you'll put there between the cover and the chip AND again between the cover and the heat sink (like a sandwich) will be enough to hold it in place once its all clamped down.
I've done this numerous times with XBox 360's & PS3 fat's and they've never come loose. In fact, with the adherence properties that thermal paste has I've had great difficulty lifting the covers off the heat sink by hand once they're stuck down with paste...they will never ever fall off! The key is pressure, make sure you've really pressed that heat spreader (metal cover) down onto the heat sink before putting the whole lot back on top of the chip.
Thank you for this, I have the Xbox360 S star wars Console and exactly this happened to mine about a year ago; powers up, 10 flashes of the red light then immediately shuts down. I was going to bin it (got a used console for 25 GBP off ebay) but forgot about it. Then came across this video, dug the console out to try this fix. However, when I tested the resistors, only one was reading high (44ohms) so I only replaced that with a solder jumper and left the others alone. It was quite difficult to do, you need a steady hand, 0.3mm solder wire, a free standing magnifying glass and a thin pointed solder iron tip heated to 300 Celsius. The console powered up and is now working fine. Not sure how long it will last, but I'm grateful for this video. Thanks again.
you r welcome
I also have the starwars 360, i feel like when i was younger i also had an issue with the disk drive
I had the same problem and only your solution solved my nightmare, thanks a lot bro you're my hero!
Thank you. This solved my issue 1st time. Legend.
Omg it worked! I just bought a broken slim with flashing red light and high fan rpm, then it would shut down. Within 20 minutes it's now fixed and booting perfectly. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
20 minutes wow
Thanks. I am not a xbox tech.
I have done many things to correct.
Im sure resistors is the problem.
The fan wors.
The power cord works.
But i have reached as far as I can to solve the problem. Good instructual video.
Mine overheats quick but i had a fan in front on the fan and it works so you can buy a fan on Amazon to but on the side of xbox its call Intercooler STS
the same thing happens to me but my console is slim trinity, some solution?
Hi and thanks for the video!
If it does not fix this problem can xbox burn? Or is this just a defect in the temperature sensor?
if it is not fixed then you cannot run the xbox
Hey, I think I'm having the same problem. A friend of mine asked me to fix his 360 slim cause the fan would spin up at like max rpm, and then the front light would blink red. I checked the heatsink and it looked alright. The thermal paste wasn't anything special but it looked fine. I know I have a corona v4/v6 from the research I did, but I'm still skeptic. But I noticed a difference between my mobo and yours. I don't have any of those post out joints near the CPU. Is yours just modded and you added those or is my mobo a different model? I would really appreciate the help. I can't find much online, and what I do find makes no sense.
This method is only for coronas only. Maybe urs is trinity?
I have this problem on the Xbox 360 e slim, it shuts down and restarts with the fan on high speed then restarts again and runs fine. From startup it says lack of ventilation and over heating and goes though what I said every time. Is there a fix?
+retrostansolo check its resistor
For what it's worth. I did this on my Xbox 360 S, and it worked. I still worry about whether I have removed the console's ability to sense future overheating, but it was a fairly easy way to bring a dead $10 console back to life.
A burnt down home ain't worth it.
@@pullingthestrings5233 the resistors on the board read 0 ohm. Using a solder jumper will also read 0 0 ohm. There is no difference between doing this fix and putting another 0 ohm resistor on the board.
Hey sthetix. Great & clear video, just got fixed GPU false temperature. 10* and regards
ur welcome
About two years ago I had a 360 RDOD on me and had no clue this was how to fix it. I took the motherboard to my garage today and (Edit: Solder Bridged) 2 of 6 resistors and it works like new! Tysm!
if you don’t mind, which and where did you get those resistors? i’m having the same problem and i’m not sure where i can find these specific resistors
@@mrnissan3262 Instead of using new resistors I created a solder bridge in place of them. From what I know, solder bridges work for resistors that require 0 ohm to work. I learned this from a different video, if I find that video I'll link it here. 👍
@@camrenesterdayplease link
the console is flashed with rgh and lt3.0, turn on and enter the frestyle menu and throw me that error
Thanks for the tip. Had one of these reading 70ohm and the others OK, but accidentally knocked off another resistor while removing the bad one. Couldn't get a solder ball to flow between the pads so had to cut some small strips of copper from a stranded 12ga copper wire and tin them on my iron, then peel off the iron using tweezers and place with the tweezers while heating.
I have a feeling this would have been easier with some replacement 0ohm resistors but didn't have any on hand.
so have u fixed it?
@@sthetixofficial yeah I wanted to get it together and test to be sure. Working well now so this was definitely the fake overheat.
Was confusing because this system had bad thermal paste application under the heatspreader and originally changing that got it working but it stopped shortly.
This totally fixed my problem! Had the red dot of death (approx. 11 red blinks) with fast fan speed at startup, would not even turn on at all. Followed this guide and all is well again! I was skeptical and am not very experienced with soldering, but pulled it off with the help of your awesome video! Also, I actually do have a trinity board (no post out board), took a chance since it was screwed anyway, and this did take of the issue for my trinity. Thanks so much for this, man- much appreciated!!
Which resistors did you remove?
@@digipimp75 its depending on what resistors are broken
This works for me, I really appreciate, thanks 🙏
I have same issue but my thermal paste is changed recently ...so i need to remove resistor or i can use just like that.... Please reply
Thanks for the video. I can solve my problem with the red dot button in my xbox 360 s . Removing and linking the resistor like the video. 😀
great
if u solder jump the resistor it should be near 0 ohm after right? because mine before solder jump 75 temp now its 65. but i forgot to check it. because i dont own a multimeter.
its 0 ohm after u jump it
thanks. It worked and issue resolved
wow R4D3 goes to infinte value (no working) console error 0013 turn on with a red dot and turns off in less than a minute, jumping the resistor and boot up. Thanks for the tip.
+Enfermo mares yup. U are.welcome
I don't have a fan fan so I used some of my games and the cases and fanned it while it turned on and it work
Hi, ive got a strange problem cuz when i boot up my xbox 360 slim then normal green light shows up everything is cool but the fan is speeding like +10% in 30sec then it gets so loud and xbox just shuts of. I mean when i boot up the xbox, fan is getting louder and louder and then xbox shuts off, i dont have a red/blinking light just green like always, it shutdowns within like 4-5 minutes
use this guide
Is there any downside to doing this vs buying resistors and replacing them? and if you were to replace them where would you buy them from?
no.. just jump it
Can you just simply remove the resistors to fix the issue or do you HAVE to create a solder jumper?
u need to create a solder jumper
My Xbox doesn’t have a post out next to the cpu where is it
you said remove the jumper wire but in the "it should look more or less like this" photo you have the jumper wire attached. do you reconnect it?
Yes jump it using solder
interesting, super complex but would be improved to also replace the fan over 2000 RPM or dust clean the fan overall with replacing thermal paste that uses for PC?
replacing fan won't do anything. its a sensor malfunction due to bad jumper
had a Corona v2 doing this exact issue, all of the resistor polarity was off on the board, This fixed it perfectly. To anyone worried this will cause more issues, the resistors you're removing and bridging are 0 (Yes, Zero) Ohm resistors, a solder bridge is exactly the same as replacing the resistor, just without the fail rate. as long as you can solder, this should be pretty easy for you, I did it with a soldering iron that had a melting tip, took me all of 2 mins to do the bridges and 30 seconds to flow it properly and neatly. Definitely need a new soldering iron before I tackle installing an Ace v3 though, Haha. Cheers bud, Gonna double check a corona v4 I have with the same issue and see if I can fix it :D
I've done this same method on a Halo corona unit i got and it hasn't worked strangely, about 4 of the resistors were reading in the high 20s-30s so i just removed all of them and bridged them, still a constant red light, but i could intermittently get a successful post by bridging r4d5 and r4d7 with some tweasers, several reflows didn't help either. Not sure where to go from here but its worth saving being a special halo 4 edition and the board has some software to give it the custom sounds.
I can transfer the sounds over to another board if interested
@@tonymcpherson1958 Are the sounds linked to the main board and not the front panel board? Im looking at potentially doing a board swap do you know of a guide on how to swap these over?
@@eddster sounds are on the motherboard.
@@tonymcpherson1958 ouch, was hoping I can avoid that. Is it a software job to switch these over or is it part of the hardware on the motherboard? Thanks for the help
Did this tip and worked, but 3 days later, it turn on but 5min later it shut down on overheat, but its only a litle warm, Any ideas?
replace ur thermal paste and maybe u have bad solder connection
perfecto muchas gracias, me funciono de maravilla
My Xbox motherboard does not look like this I can’t find the specific resistors and it looks a lot different is there somehow I have a different version?
its for corona only
How do I check my Xbox CPU temperature like in the videobecause it keeps saying that my cpu is hot but I have the fan running at 12 v
do the guide..
Oh thank brain fart
I have a Trinity RGH , if I let it sit over night the console will stay on for about 15 mins the next time I turn it on. Then when It gives me Red dot I turn it back off and it will still give me the red dot. Does this method apply ?
+TristinHD there are so many factor.. check your console temperature, check your power supply.
Power Supply is fine, I tried multiple one still the same result . I cannot check the temp because it just gives me a Red dot BUT when I was able to get to the Dash board it said My console overheated, also the console wasnt even on that long maybe 15 mins. Replaced the Thermal paste with Artic Silver five. Still getting the red dot.
+TristinHD the resistor location is different for trinity. The solution does not apply to your console. You should check the secondary error code for your console
Okay how would I go about checking my secondary error Code ?
+TristinHD xbox-experts.com/tutorial/secondary-error-code/
All I did was bridge r4d3 with a screwdriver while turning it on and it's been running just fine since.
why did they put this point of failure in these at all? one of my Xbox 360 slim had this issue and I just desoldered the resistor and bridged it.
works like a charm, in fact the fan turns up less than ever before, making me think when the resistor started failing it already reported higher temps than normal.
Great job!
It's meant so that you don't burn your house down, but hey be my guest.
Hi mate, thaks for video. I have the same problem (0012) with trinity motherboard. Any solutions for it?
Hmm no clue for that
hi sir, I have a Xbox 360 Slim 0013, the above methods can repair my Xbox?
I have same issue but my thermal paste is changed recently ...so i need to remove resistor or i can use just like that.... Please reply
just bridge the resistor
what exactly did you to remove the resistors? and you use something more common?
+anthony Goespewpew that resistors have 0 ohm so just short it together
sthetix thanks a lot!
My Xbox 360 s (RGH) has Memory overheating problem, the temperature reaches about 84 celcius degrees, and after some time (30 min) turns off. Solutions?
yes try this guide.
The temperature dropped after the new paste was applied
good
Thanks!!!!
Could someone list off the tools needed for this please.
soldering iron
Can i just remove the bad resistors and leave it? Without creating jumpers?
@@sthetixofficial And this should help in case of Winchester motherboard?
Yeah it was sooo easy it took a little while to learn what soldering was or what a Flux was but in 8 minutes I had a working xbox again 😀
Como lo hiciste?
im having a same problem.. can you help me where do i repair my unit here in dubai?! because im scared that maybe they dont know how to fix it properly. thanks..
I don't know.. sorry
Thank you, I just had to short R4D3 to revive the dead XBOX.
good
Does every console get these loud fan blinking red dot problems on the slims or just some?
mostly on coronas
sthetix are the Coronas the layer date systems cause I have a Star Wars Xbox 360 from late 2011 that’s still runs today just looking out
star wars is coronas
sthetix I have a Star Wars corana version till this day playing actual right now mw2. But I’m worried cause I don’t think it’s specific cause 6-7 years later hear it is. Dunno I had a 2010 glossy version which has the RDOD no fan speed up just plain red dot of death with normal fan so. 2011 my Star Wars version right now is actually online trying to combat these hos
My xbox doesn't seem to have a row of resistors like that, should I check the same resistors on my xbox 360 slim
its for corona version.. not for trinity
@@sthetixofficial ok, thank you
maybe ill try that! I have an xbox 360 slim right here, right after i start it it shows an red ring and the fans spin at abt. 100% (almost louder than an airplane (jk)) and then it shuts off... At least i think so, didnt look on it for quite some time now...
I checked my resistors with a multimeter, but they are all fine. All come up either 0 ohm or .08 ohm. Mine blinks red 10 times before shutting off
try to jump it all
@@sthetixofficial its still giving me the red ring 10 times
Tried it a few times, might have had some kind of bridging, but this worked. Thanks!
thanks for the vid, did everything u did but now the system powers up, fan spins at full speed for like five secs and then spins down. any idea what this could be?
maybe u didn't solder it correctly?
Mine did this too. I didn't try this repair though.
Hi!I have a weird problem actually.So when i start to play fh2 and when i select buy or my cars,it automatically restarts the console..after it restarted i select buy or my cars and everything is ok...it doesn't happen to other games.Could it be game's fault?Thanks.
game fault or hdd fault
sthetix Oh..when i delete the game,all the saves are gone too?I've never had an XBOX 360 before so that's why im asking..
no it wont
Is their any way to avoid this problem or will it happen to all xbox360coronas I'm just concerned cuz this seems to be happening to a lot consoles and I am not very experienced with soldering
it happens randomly after some time
@@sthetixofficial update the R4D4 resistor went bad and gave error 0013 but I fixed it thanks
So I have this issue but I have never used a multimeter before and would like some help on what setting it needs to be on to test the resistors
if the resistance is not 0 or more than zero, you need to replace or jump that resistor
@@sthetixofficial thank you very much for the video and the reply I appreciate the help people like yourself give out on CZcams 🙂

Hi how do you get the temperatures to show on xbox
u need to install cfw and run freestyle or aurora
But now won't it be a problem if the console ACTUALLY overheats? These resistors aren't for absolutely nothing...
it won't be a problem. its not a resistor, but a jumper with 0 ohm
Creating the jumpers is haaaard unless you’re experienced with micro soldering.

Is it safe to remove these resistors? Shouldnt you just replace the broken ones instead?
remove and jump it
@@sthetixofficial i know u've jumped them, but they were put there for a reason maybe removing them put the xbox in danger later, would it be better to replace the ones that give high ohms?

Thanks
its a 0 ohm resistor, its the same as to jump it..
I can’t find those resistors my console is a trinity 😢
Yeah, mine too. Have you found a fix yet?
