I need new thermal paste... Im a retard. Sorry!

I put the xbox back together and now Im getting this message (attached) I dont know what is going on but everything seemed to go in the right place. Does anyone know the culprit? I have a feeling I should use some fresh thermal paste? This xbox has been a nightmare and this jerk who installed the mod messed it up It was suppose to be a birthday present and it was 6 months late and not working Is my only option to install another ship or can I do something to fix this current one? Does anyone know of any people in Toronto, besides leetmods? Thanks Chris

Yikes! Do you think I need to get a whole new system for this? Did he mess up my unit? or can I remove this chip and put the other one in?

Do you think a different chip would solve the issue? I wonder if thats the course of action I have to take or if there is a fix with this chip. Sorry Im a newb. Would it be good to try to reinstall FSD. I believe I have the newest version on my comp but I was having trouble working with the file manager for windows... Which one do you recommend? Attached is a pic of my serial number and info (hope it helps) Thanks so much! Chris

Thanks again for your help! Here are some photos. I have a good soldiering iron that is temp controlled. Do you think I should try fixing any connections? I am in Toronto, maybe I should find someone to take a look at it? I dont think I want to use the same guy who was the forth party that help the third party because between both of them they still didnt get it going? Thanks for your help! Chris

I have and he gave me the "need to be reflowed and xclamp" He also had to go to another person for help and he was complaining that he had to spend a lot of gas. He is a bit of a jerk and it also took him 6 months to get it back to me. Im affraid he will have it for a year next time. He gave me the number of the other guy that helped him. Could it be soldier points? I read that it ended up being a bad grounding wire? I was thinking about maybe trying to re-install FSD and put the newest version. I also read certain emulators can give you greif too. The file manager I need is for windows. So I can read the drives and rewrite them. Thanks again for the quick resonse

Awesome Thanks so much for your input! What do you think are some good ways to test what is wrong, to diagnose the issue. Are there ways to trial and error and see what it can be? I asked for a jtag is RGH any different? No freezing before I got the job done, he also refuses to spend anymore time on it. Thanks again!

Hello I recently got my system jtaged with the matrix glitcher chip by a third party. I took it home to test and it takes a long time to load fsd and when it does it freezes after 1 min or so? The servicer who installed the chip and did the mod said it needed to be reflowed? He was able to do that. He also mentioned it needed an xclamp. He was unable to do that because he said it was very difficult to remove the chip from the board. Needless to say I have done that it was not very difficult. I was able to remove my board from the xbox case. However I am not sure what is causing the FSD to freeze? I can get it to boot a game but it will not go past the title without freezing. This also happens with two diferent hard drives. My questions are: 1) Does anyone know why my system is freezing? 2) What is an X Clamp? 3) What is a Reflow? 4) Will the XClamp Fix it? 5) Im trying to re-install FSD but Im having trouble with geting any of the file managers to work with my harddrives Please help Thanks in advance
