    Hi and welcome to the Console Modding forum, the best and longest lasting repair is to reball or replace the GPU, the error code 0110 might suggest a problem with the RAM chips which is rare or it could be a cold solder connection under the GPU leading to one of the RAM chips.

    Leave it to someone who has reball facilities whould be my advice. Don't touch the x-xlamps, leave the towels iin the bathroom, & maybe look through here

    Cheers guys

    I dont mind if i make a bags of it as i said it is cheap and i would love to be able to do the repair(Or blow it up) with my own 2 hands.

    I see this as a learning process

    Is it possible to reflow with a standard soldering iron?

    Or is there any merit to the xclampfix.

    The problem here is the DIY fixes don't actually exist, it has to be done properly or it will fail again.

    A reball needs some serious equipment, as does a reflow. The x-clamp fix doesn't work & only causes more damage in the long run...ultimately ruining your chances of even having it fixed properly.

    Nice little bit of kit to take apart (After finding my proper tools :o)

    Took apart and put back together without attempting a fix.

    But we shall rebuild my 1st 360 that i have named Steve:D

    Why would a gpu exchane be any better than a reball.
    You do realize that any GPU chips for sale are used chips pulled from consoles and reballed and then thrown in an ultrasonic cleaner.

    I don't see any gain from a GPU exchange maybe except for a dead GPU or a persistent e74.

    Correct me if I'm wrong
