Hey there.
I open my 360 to adjust my X-Clamp fix. I didin't crack nothing cause i was untightening the screws.
I mount the console and i turn on the fans work for 1 second and then nothing works unless the 3 red lights and the power brick stays with orange color.
I tighten the screws again and I still got the same problem.
What may had happen? _________________________________________________________

USB ports,
video cables
memory card
Also try putting the board out of the metal case on a non conductive material and turning it on then, see what happens.

keep untightening the screws half a turn each until the power supply goes green and either the 360 has RROD (thats lights 1, 3 and 4) with fans still going or the 360 is working again.
Once its working I suggest overheating the GPU by placing the fan on top of the CPU heat sink and the dvd drive. Heat the GPU until the heatsink on top of it is hot enough to make you go ow when you touch it. Then let it cool for 10 - 15 mins and all should be fine.
If you happen to get 2 red lights while doing this and the fans go off even after it has cooled down, tighten all the screws up to a snug point then turn it on you should have RROD (1, 3 and 4). Reapeat the process of the half a turn loosening until it turns on and is working.
THIS IS FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE ONLY IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU, EVEN THEN MY 360 ONLY WORKS FOR ONE TO 2 DAYS, THEN I HAVE TO MESS AROUND WITH THE SCREWS AGAIN. HOWEVER THERE IS A POSSIBILITY IF YOU GET YOUR SCREW PRESSURE JUST RIGHT YOU COULD HAVE A PERMANANT FIX.

Hell yah bro, it is working.
I untight a turn and test it out and... GRL (Green Ring of Life) the console is working.
I modded lots of stuff and i never saw such a behavior.
Today I am gonna to play a couple of hours to see how much it can stands.
You knows? Maybe I got a permanent fix. _________________________________________________________

Im glad to here my advice helped, it could be permanent and hopefully it is. For me it lasts 1 - 2 days then i have to do it again but I think i've done it properly this time 1 whole day and no RROD
