dunno if this is in the right spot but we'll see..i bought an xbox 360 off ebay for like 15 bucks with the RROD problem did the X-clamp fix, i had to buy a power cord and AV cables so i went with what i figured would work..well the power cord fits..but now the RROD is a problem with the power source..so im guessing its the wrong one..is there anyway of telling wich one i need besides how many pins and what position their in??? i can get a pic up if needed thanks guys

I'm assuming you bought the older model with the white case? I did a fair bit of research on that myself, never saw any thing about different power supplies. Even after doing the x-clamp fix, you may still have a problem with cracked solder joints. They used a solder that couldn't stand up to the heat cycling. If you can find an independent game shop, they usually charge about $75 bucks to re-solder the joints.

yoterr

yeah its the older style..all the solder joints look fine, and thats the code the RROD is showing 0001...and im pretty sure its the power supply...the pins are slightly different but it fits...i dont really wanna just take a pic of mine and spend an hour looking through all of game stops stuff...they hated me the first time lol

I have fixed some. You have to reflow the GPU to get it fixed. The x clamp mod is just to prevent it from happening again. Youtube has some good videos on how to do it.

yeah i kno but it wont heat up becuase theres a problem with the power source..the led on the brick turns red as soon as i turn it on..ive read that even with the RROD it sould still turn green..

azyotafool

never heard of the brick turning red. No one to borrow a brick from for testing? I went thru 3 boxes myself and if it wasn't the mobo, then I had a problem with the DVD drive. Granted, mine were all built in 1996 or earlier. Finally just emptied my wallet on the new model, totally worth it. You can have my old supply if you want it, just sitting in a box. Have you tried opening the power supply for cleaning? Just opened mine to see and it was pretty dirty. A little dirt in the right spot could short something out, especially with your humidity. How many pins do you have? 2 are 12V supply, 2 are 5V supply, and 2 would be the signal circuit to turn the brick on/off. If one is missing, I'd say you got robbed for $15.

some power supply's had a metal wrap around the connector.. older ones... like the one pictured. and the newer ones did not.

yoterr

ahh ic...actually the one az yota has looks like the one i need..inbetween the two sets of pins mine is just an empty slot whereas my xbox has a single plastic pin right in the center..and yeah if you dont need it see how much a flat rate box that size would be? and if you got a paypal..ill throw down 5 bucks for ur trouble's and pay fer the flat rate box...if its cheaper than 30 bucks
