Yea, the original run of the Xbox 360 had issues with the then-novel lead-free solder breaking down under high thermal loads.

- Doxin 8y agoIf anything lead-free solder would hold up to higher temperatures. The problem was just that the entire thing got too hot in general, there was a whole spell with the PCBs warping because of the heat.
- sosodev 8y agoYeah, both the PS3 and Xbox 360 had terrible thermals when they first released.
- noxToken 8y agoNormal operating loads. My 360 was never in an enclosed space, and it still fell prey to this. I was do the temp fix with a heat gun, but disassembling and reassembling was a pain. I eventually left the board sitting in the open without the case.
- asdff 8y agoThey didn't fix RROD until the slim in 2010. Every other 360 is a time bomb.
