The rattleing you hear is probably the sensor ball that tells the console if it is laying down or standing up you see a black little box by the heatsink thats were the senser ball is it is not to big either but sure makes it sound like there is something is wrong lmao. Just to be sure when u move it to stand up and or lay down you can hear it when you do that right. _________________________________________________________ The one the only Scarface!!

hi mate
The error code 0020 is a tricky one, it could be your CPU, GPU or your ram chips so if the x-clamp fix don't work (change them both at the same time) then you will need to do the ram fix with 8 pennys.....

After watching the vid I'm 99% positive that it needs the x-clamp fix if it was the A/V error all four leds would light up. _________________________________________________________

However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

Yeah but its Error 0020, which very little is known about it. I think the most common consensus is it deals with the cpu/gpu/ram like robbieboy said. But its worth an x-clamp fix try, for how cheap it is to do _________________________________________________________ 360-HQ Toolbar | 360-hq Digg news | 360-HQ Active Topics | 360-HQ Boxxet Page | My Setup

Thanx i appreciate u guys for helping me this far! i think im going to record this whole process off the video cam on my phone{without it i wouldn't of had the video i have now so yea!}that way we can record the trail and error of the 0020 code error.im going to the hardware store today to get the materials i need for this fix ,i know i can get it online but it can't be nothing more than some simple screws and washers that u get from the hardware store!,lemmie know if i need something special or not soon,just don't wanna forget nothing and have to run back {gas is way to costly}
thanx again,
