MY xbox turns on then off. The fans turn on for a second then off the power brick goes from green to orange so it shuts down and i have 3 red rings as well as no video showing up. I Did x-clamps with nylon washers. so nothing is shorting out. I have tryed diffrent power bricks. no clue what to do. it wont even overheat when i stick heat gun to it. Whats wrong? _________________________________________________________

it had the rrod then i used the xclamp to fix it. but i got that paste artice silver, but i used wheel bearing gresse instead same concept as artice silver. but i got that on some chips would that cause it to do this. maybe wiping it off will fix it? _________________________________________________________
well i cant say wheel bearing grease is the same consept if you got the stuff from arctic silver use that it doesnt conduct electricity and is mad to actually help with heat transfer bearing grease is not ment for that grease is ment as a insulater to help prevent friction,so being a mechanic and familier with these things i can onley see it hurting your system and most bearing greases do actually have a small amount of matalics in them as an addive.clean it all of completley with some sort of electrical safe cleaner make shure there is nothing grounding anywere its not suposed to and use the artic silver and hopefully this will help you.and as a tip dont ever use just any grease on electronics your looking to ruin it if you do and if you have to use grease made for electronics you can find the stuff everywhere.hope this helps _________________________________________________________

Well its heat transfer grease i been using it in my computer for months and i never turn it off never overheats or anything so i know it does the job. but i guess its shorting it where i got it on other things. what can i use to clean it off? _________________________________________________________
oh ok i see.well they have electrical cleaners the best stuff i have found you can get at almost any hobby shop they use it to clean out electric motors and speed controlers an such i'd try that and its sprays out of the can so it kinda helps blow all the crap out of corners and stuff i use that and like a painting brush for water coloring and stuff to help work it out.also you did the x-clamp mod so you probley had to drill out the holes i would imagin ake shure there is no burs around the holes grounding _________________________________________________________

I have cleaned the whole board off took a toothbrush and windex and went at it. of course un pluged and drained power. but it still doesnt want to work i even take it out of case so its no short from metal. _________________________________________________________
ok well its sounds like it just flat out failed on you them its more than likely solder broke some where around the gpu somewhere or somthing els failed.try trouble shooting the codes this link will explian how and hopfully tell you whats wrong. http://www.360-hq.com/xbox-tutorials-23.html. there is a chance you will have to fix the solder on the gpu. _________________________________________________________
