I have a noobish question i would like to ask just to be safe.
I have a xbox 360 phat zephyr with the 3 rrod error.(Cold solder under GPU)
I also have a heatgun handy.I would like to know if I have to let the heat gun heat up first,or can I just start the reflow right away when I plug it in.Its my dad's and it has no manual since I looked around the house and I couldnt find one.
Thank you!!

Let the heat gun warm up first then hold it over the cpu/gpu at about an inch away for like 30 seconds then let it cool down, also make sure you do it on a flat surface so the board doesn't warp.




That's the best most simple video you can watch that should help you out.

1. Use pre-heating and bottom heating.
2. Monitor the temperature.
3. Use flux.
4. Be prepared for the console to die again in a few months.
GL HF! :wink:
