Alright so ive customized my 360 elite a bit and today i decided to check for some 12v connections in the 360 for the 4" cathodes i plan on putting in it. I used a digital MultiMeter to try and find the 12v connections while the 360 was turned on. Now when i turned off my 360 and turned it back on i get the 3 Red Rings of Death. The wierd thing is though that the 360 wont turn on when i try to start it, i only get the 3 red rings blinking and green center led. When i attempt to So i started troubleshooting it. Im 99.9% sure its not an overheating problem seeing that the 360 wont even pwoer on.
1.removed and reconnected HDD and Dvd Drive- didnt work
2.removed and reconnected cables, changed av cables-didnt work
3.checked for blown capacitors-none
4.checked for loosing connections-none
5.checked for blown soldering-maybe 1
6.Checked for burned areas on motherboard-none
It almost seems that the soldering joint isnt supposed to be connected to anything, but i connected it at the joints but still got the 3 red rings.
When i was using the DMM on the 360 i didnt hear any "pop" or noise indicating something blew.
Heres the connection i think broke up but i soldered together.





What should I do now?

Replace all the LEDs with green ones so it's not a red ring of death anymore.

Just throw it away and go buy an Arcade 360, make sure you get the new jasper revision. If you didn't mod your 360 you could have sent it in for warranty.

Well then the only thing you could try is the xclamp replacement. But even if that does work for you it probably won't last very long. You could just buy an arcade and put your elite case on it.

Honestly you probably won't be able to fix it. Your just gonna have to get a new one.

Then its probably dead then. I would suggest heading over xbox-scene forums and browse around for a fix and maybe even posting a thread about your problem. But again it sounds like it is just dead.

Sorry. In four years I might be able to help, but, seeing as I haven't yet gotten my associates/bachelor's in SMT electronics, I can't do much.

yeah, also when i say only the lights flash, i mean there's no power, the fans arent running and my dvd drive wont eject.
The screen also has no output from the 360
found out it has a 0001 error-power supply issue
