i just got 0203 .....how do i fix this.????? i hope this thread is still viewed.

My Jasper got RROD last week. I spent a lot of time tracking down that chipset when it first came out. It was one of the very first Jaspers (born 10-20-2008), and surely I did all that detective work to ensure what happened last week, wouldn't happen.

I am curious what you got if you opted for MS to send you a console, and you just put your broken one in the box the replacement came in.

I opted for repair, as my console is a "Jasper" (whoop-dee-doo apparently) - but I didn't want to get one of the older models that break even more often.

If you've opted for the "advanced replacement" option instead of repair recently, I want to know what chipset Xbox you got sent to you. Thanks

Does not matter what "chipset" you get. They are ALL defective. Accept for the newer slims/redesign. That was the only way they could truly fix them.

Well I'd be pissed if I got one of the 2005/6 models. When I first bought one in March of 2006, the damn thing RROD'd on me the very first day! THE FIRST NIGHT WITH THE DAMN THING!

I called customer support enraged. I asked the guy if the reason they were so hard to find was because MS knew they were defective and they were correcting the design. The dude straight up laughed at me and said there wasn't a problem. I probably spent the next month of my life dedicated to making fun of the Xbox. I posted all these messages on the official forums (acting as if I were serious) saying you needed to buy a $200 industrial grade exhaust fan, and point it at the Xbox. It was hilarious.

Here's another true life joke. If you call MS support, and the automated system says "OK, which system are you calling about? The original Xbox or Xbox 360?" and you respond "The one that always breaks", the automated system will actually say "OK. The Xbox 360"

E35/0203 is GPU related, possibly resistors. Pretty rare code...probably toast. :(

You could try LawDawg's fix and it might work, but if it's other and unless you have spare resistors lying around...

I'm not even sure the slim is a safe bet. I just bought one for $40 with a disc read error. Have been through several of the "fat" 360's myself. I agree with the poster which stated the biggest piece of crap game system ever. But the features (use the media extension personally) are what keep me coming back.

I've got a Oct 2006 system and it gave me the "RRoD" almost 1.5 years ago. I looked up the flashing code which turned out the be the more famous one...heat around the cpu. I cannot remember which video I followed but torn into mine, took those blasted "X" bars out, took off the heat sink and cleaned it and on top of the cpu and applied I think Artic Silver Thermal grease on top. Put everything back and zero problems. My only regret wasn't getting one of those special little tools to pop the snaps on the case.

Update on my Jasper chipset that got RROD.

I opted for the "repair" option, and not "advanced replacement" but the latest e-mail from Microsoft had a different serial number on my repair ticket. I called and got some poor script reading moron to help me. He read something off the script about "in the event the console is not repairable..."

What a bunch of idiots. I'm getting someone else's turd.
