Please go to the forums on xbox.com and start topics with this as the post in every section:

"So.. how long is Major Nelson's account suspended for? As it clearly states (and has been repeated by your staff constantly) in the ToS, that EVERY person using XBL has to agree to in order to use the service... "You are responsible for your account and console. Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account on the Xbox Live Web. Microsoft will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of of someone else using your account, either with or without your knowledge." As we all can see, there was very objectional content on his profile the other day, so how long is his suspension? He is in fact (according to your own ToS) responsible for every bit of it all, and must face the consequences. Unless you also wish to unban/unsuspend everyone else's accounts that have claimed to be "hacked" or "phished" Rules apply to everyone, or they apply to no one. Which is it? This question is brought to you by the courtesy of Az. Enjoy!"

I'm not new to 360 repair. Just to get that out of the way. Anyways, 1 of the 5 consoles I got in today had E71. It is an old console (12-24-05) man. date. Regardless, I went for the obvious fix and attempted to clear any updates with the hold the sync button until dash. So, of course I held the sync button and powered it up, but this time after a long wait (30 seconds or so) it just went into RROD mode. I popped the secondary code and got 0022. So, my brain goes into repair mode without much thought. I go ahead and strip it down, clean it, run flux, reflow, repaste, etc... Still, I have 0022, which isn't usually an issue. So, after rechecking, reflowing, and re pasting again...i get a little irked...

Then for no apparent reason I google "E71 changing to 0022" and apparently this is not a coincidence. Seems to have happened to more than one person. I read lots of incidents, but not any true solutions. Help? Suggestions?

BTW, Xenon, ms25, stock, no work done or wiring on the board, no missing parts, nothing other than a pure stock 360.

All the errors were before I even cracked the case open. So, my reflow had nothing to do with causing the error. I had an E71 change to a 0022 just by holding the sync button to clear an failed updates.

All this was done on the first time through the repair. Stripped it down, cleaned it up, it sat in the oven at 170F for 6 hours. Ran flux under all the chips. Reflowed the board paying special attention to the southbridge, GPU, RAM areas, paste..so on. I just got done with the second run through, oven, reflow, waiting on it to cool to paste and test again. Not feeling confident on this one. Still no joy after going through everything the second time.

Any wild ideas out there?
