Quoted from GreenMachine19:And I think it may be responsible for the XBOX 360 red ring of death issue.
That was really lack of proper heating, cooling and engineering...but VERY common for lead free balls on the silicone to let go.
I LOVE lead solder, works just fantastic. I only use it for board, non drinking water copper pipe and other non touched items. For drinking copper sweating you must use lead free... Good to know how to flow each though.
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:I don't know of anyone that was in from the start with a 360 that didn't develop the RROD, I think I went through 2 consoles.
Back when they said "Jasper'' for 360, I bought an early one, this was probably late 2008/early 2009. All these years later with countless hours played on it, still works like new, never an issue.
99% of them rrod'ed. Old mac, powerbook laptops did it with their GPU ram and ps3's did it. Very very common on the gpu ram chips. MS changed the GPU, and added fans. I still think those failed too.....
