RROD Xenon Xbox 360 Working (BLADES!)

[@2big4cheese35]

It's so crazy how much the 360 ui changed over its life. I didn't get one as a kid until right before the metro update, but i remember playing 360s at friends and relatives houses over the years so the old ui is like some weird mystical thing that i really only got a peek at while they were still active.

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

I agree. I didn’t get my first Xbox 360 until 2013, it was shared between me and my brother, so unfortunately I wasn’t able to experience the blades dashboard. Now I do have memories at a friend’s house from before that. They had an Xbox 360 Elite with NXE that I remember fondly.

[@BonBeinCrisse]

ahh, makes me sad i’ll need to sell my nxe falcon soon, but all hope isnt lost, i’ll try to get money to buy a blades 360, by the way who’s excited for the 20th anniversary of the xbox 360 on november 22th 2025?

[@owlshadow2005]

The only 360 UI that I never got to experience was blades. NXE, Kinect, and Metro are all what I remember the most

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

Update August 19, 2024: unfortunately this console no longer works and is permanently stuck with the 0102 code. When I have the time, I’m going to try to repair it, but I cannot make any promises in the short run.

[@luisk11modshop]

Nice one dude! I believe that’s a toshiba or hitachi drive too. One of the quieter ones

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

Thanks! Yeah, I’m not sure which one it is, but when I go through to replace the GPU and thermal paste, I’ll let you know which drive it is.

[@luisk11modshop]

@@XboxConnoisseur994 one of the 2 drives. I can tell by the noise. You say you replace the gpu? So you know bga rework?

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

@@luisk11modshopI’m going to try to replace it, but I’ll have to learn the process before I attempt the repair. I want to find an Opus GPU to put in this.

[@HilairaAnimations]

@@XboxConnoisseur994 Little fact, that weird buzz sound that occurs when you turn the console on, is actually an easy tell if you have a Samsung drive, since it only happens with that specific one!

[@NSHG]

@@XboxConnoisseur994 Try an Elpis GPU. Same GPU base as Opus (Rhea/B14L w/ fixed underfill) but specifically made for Xenon mobos.

[@SethYoung-1890]

There’s lots of red ringed blades consoles out there. It’s up to us to find them

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

Yes, and I want to preserve them as long as I can as well

[@FFFFFFFFFF493]

I'm always on the hunt.

[@owlshadow2005]

I wanna collect old 360’s in the future but I sadly don’t have the finances to do that right now ;-;

[@RyneMcKinney]

This is an earlier version of blades with additional animations of the blades expanding partially, then completely the further you go into menus. They removed these animations in the 2.0.6683.0 patch in November 2007 for faster navigation. (They made it so the blades expand out completely as soon as you make a selection. Took away some of the charm honestly.) 5766 and earlier updates are even rarer than 6683 and 6717. Also, the manufacture date didn't show up that well. Can you reply the date?

My Zephyr GPU died years ago…wish my parents never made me throw it away…

[@NetYarozeGR]

Hello, with what revision of GPU you gonna change it? ELPIS?

[@luigi_Snake]

How did you change the Xbox startup?

[@XenonAdventures]

its stock

[@XenonAdventures]

its stock

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

It’s actually 100% stock. This was sitting in a Goodwill warehouse or in someone’s basement for over a decade.

[@XenonXBR]

I still want one of these

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

You should get one, the Jaspers are the most reliable, but any Blades dash ones are great as collectibles.

[@XenonXBR]

@@XboxConnoisseur994 yeah, atm I only have slims. I got a really cool MW3 edition slim for $40 in perfect condition

[@seven7000_]

Hey! I have a question, do you have any 360 elite models?

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

Yes, I have 3.

[@seven7000_]

@@XboxConnoisseur994 Nice! I will buy a Jasper v2 elite, never been opened, and has all original accessories, planning to make a video on it soon.

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

@@seven7000_ oh awesome! I hope you can get that and I’ll definitely be looking out for the video!

[@SarventeTV86]

In this video why didn’t it RROD

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

Because I did the Q-tip equivalent to the towel trick. I need to replace the GPU.

[@PackLeaderHighwire_]

How many 360s would you say you have collected over the years?

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

I’ve been collecting since December and I’d say almost 30

[@TheRealTRENSDEBERROFRSince2022]

Bro I really thought Q Tips Trick will explode my xbox💀☠️

[@XboxConnoisseur994]

Even though it’s not the most practical solution, as long as you unplug it directly after seeing the two rings, it won’t explode.

@@XboxConnoisseur994 And Also i Found a Brand new Halo 3 Xbox 360 console after i talked to an guy He said it has the first dashboard which is the (Blades) I wonder if it actually has blades on it
