Llamma Error Codes and Other Useful Problem Solutions

[Deary65]

Hopefully the following solutions and information should help you. Otherwise, make a new topic about your problem.

To find what you're looking for, simply press ctrl + F and search (e.g. 0102) for what you're looking for.

No Video: Pre-RROD. The Hybrid fix should fix the problem, otherwise a reflow of the GPU and or HANA chip should sort it out. Make sure your video cables are on the right setting and if you can, replace them to see if they're the problem.

Secondary Error Codes

Most information has come from XboxExperts, so thank you. I have also browsed a couple of forums to obtain information.
For many errors, look out for damaged, missing or bridged components. For any error, an x-clamp fix or reflowing every major part of the Xbox can’t hurt.
Once you've done a fix, leave it on for a while even if it has the red ring. It may 'get used' to the fix and work!

--==SECONDARY ERROR CODES==-
The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code
Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait 'till the red lights are flashing.
Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.
The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.
You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.

Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:
All four lights flashing - 0
One light flashing - 1
Two Lights flashing - 2
Three lights flashing - 3

0000: Clean the console from dust and dirt. Try an x-clamp fix. If the problem persists, do a Southbridge clamp fix or reflow the southbridge.

0001: Most likely a faulty power supply or board. The board could have missing or damaged components. Check for damage along the main lines such as 12V, usually related to a damaged USB port. If you’ve recently done an x-clamp fix, your heat sinks could be shorting out components such as resistors. A reflow of the board may fix this, or if you just did a reflow, it could be the problem. If you have used a spring washer that's touching the motherboard, it could be digging in. Remove it.

0002: Again, the board could have missing or damaged components, most likely capacitors and mosfets. Known to be a problem within the CPU area. Try reflowing or x-clamp fixing the CPU.

0003: Check for missing or damaged components. Again, within the CPU area. Try reflowing or x-clamp fixing the CPU. Also known to be caused by the popcorn effect on the GPU (bad reflow).

0010: Check for missing or damaged components in the Southbridge area. Try the Southbridge Clamp Fix or a reflow of the Southbridge.

0011: Make sure there is a good contact between the dies and heatsinks with an even amount of paste. Try x-clamp fixing the CPU and GPU or reflowing them. If still unfixed, cut the temperature trace.

0012: GPU overheating. Try and x-clamp fix on the GPU making sure there is good contact with an even amount of paste. If still unfixed try a reflow.

0013: Most likely your shorting something with a heatsink, try lossening or fiddling with the screws.RAM overheating. Best option is to get the RAM reflown. If you do a penny trick, it will damage the motherboard! If still unfixed try an x-clamp fix.

0020: Unsolder any additions to the motherboard. Most likely to be a damaged solder joint under the GPU, RAM or CPU. Try an x-clamp fix and/or reflow. Could also be caused by damaged or missing components.

0021: Problem with the Southbridge. Look for damaged or missing components. Best option is to reflow the Southbridge or try a clamp fix. May also be a problem between the GPU and Southbridge, make sure the connections are clean and apply more pressure with an x-clamp fix towards the Southbridge side. It could also be problem with the DVD drive. Make sure the cables are good and connected well. If you’ve recently flashed or modified the DVD drive, then this could be the cause.

0022: Perform an x-clamp fix on the GPU and CPU, better yet, get them reflown. If still unfixed, reflow the (H)ANA chip. Make sure there are no damaged or missing components around the GPU, CPU & (H)ANA . Also make sure the lines between the GPU, CPU rror. Make sure there is no damage to the USB ports or pins.Try fixes for the (H)ANA, Southbridge and GPU.

0031: Perform an x-clamp fix. Make sure the heatsink isn't shorting any resistors. Make sure there are no shorts or complications in the Southbridge/DVD area. Most likely the RAM. Best option is to get everything reflown - SB, RAM, GPU.

0101: USB error. Make sure there is no damage to the USB ports or pins. Disconnect any USB devices. If you soldered anything to the USB, take it off and look for shorts. Pin 8 is already bridged, un-bridging it could sort the error out.

0102: One of the famous’. An x-clamp fix should easily sort this error out as it is most likely to be GPU related. Make sure there are no missing or damaged components. After doing the fix and the error persists reflow the GPU & RAM, and if still unfixed, reflow the CPU.

0103: Similar to 0102. Make sure the GPU is getting clean power and there are no damaged or missing components in the GPU, CPU & RAM area. Known to be a bridged capacitor.

0110: Similar to 0102. Reflow the RAM & GPU. Tightening the screws of the GPU heatsink towards the RAM could temporarily fix the problem. Possibility of it being the Southbridge if nothing has worked. Try the clamp fix or getting it reflown if all else fails.

0200: Not fully understood. Try the solutions to 0102.

1000: Modchip or flashing related. Make sure it is connected properly. Otherwise remove (and/or reprogram) it.

1002: Simlar to 1000.

1003: Hard drive error. Keep trying to make it work, when it does, back up your files as it is likely to die again.

1010: Hard drive or Southbridge error. Most likely a problem with the Hard Drive. Deleting the cache or un-needed files should sort it out. Save all your data to a memory card or to your computer. Make sure there aren’t any damaged or missing components around the Southbridge and Hard Drive port area. Reflow or clamp fix the Southbridge.

1011: Hard Drive error. Re-plug your Hard Drive in. Similar to 1010.

1012: Hard Drive error. Try the fixes for 1010 and 1011.

1013: Update error. Download the newest updates and put them in via CD or USB. Hold down the sync button while it starts. If you’re still getting the error, check for missing or damaged components around the Southbridge area, reflow or clamp fix the Southbridge.

1020: Try possible fixes from 1013. Possibly a problem if you installed a modchip.

1021: Try the Southbridge clamp fix or reflow the Southbridge. Make sure there aren’t any missing or damaged components in the Southbridge area. Also try the x-clamp fix.

1022: Try a different video cable. Most likely a problem with the GPU or (H)ANA chip. Try the x-clamp fix or get them reflown.

1023: Make sure the DVD drive is plugged in properly, re-plug it. Make sure the cables are good. If you recently flashed the drive, that could be the problem. Make sure there aren’t any missing or damaged components around the Southbridge. You can do the clamp fix or get it reflown.

1030: Damaged network chip. Make sure there’s no visible damage. Try doing the fixes for the Southbridge.

1031: Similar to 1030. Make sure there are no missing or damaged components in the Southbridge area.

1032: Unlucky.

1033: Hard drive error. Similar to 1010.

DVD Errors:
Open Tray Error:
1. no light check - blown laser - replace laser
2. no spin check - seized up pancake motor - relube or replace motor - check #7 below.
3. magnet fell off the spindle - glue it back on
4. grippy ring on spindle packed with dirt, drive cannot spin the disc up without slipping - clean with alcohol till tacky again
5. dirty lens, prism, mirror inside laser head - clean with alcohol, may have to soak the entire laser.
6. azimuth out of adjustment - the laser is not at 90 degrees with the plane of the disc - worn rails, plastic sliders - adjust rail height
7. azimuth out of adjustment - same as above but caused by pancake motor mounting screws - tighten all the way then back off 2 silver ones till it reads
8. broken or worn ribbon cable
9. stepper motor/worm gear - stuck, dirty, broken plastic pieces, or dead - clean & lubricate, or replace
10. problem with pcb - go buy a new xbox, hold on to receipt and warranty card.

Hitachi Motor Issues:

-Disassemble your DVD drive (plenty of tut's on the llama home page for this)
-Once diassembled you will need to remove the 3 screws that attach the motor. THIS IS IMPORTANT: with a black fine tipped marker or other, scribe a line that you can clearly see on the two silver screws and the metal casing. You do not need to mark the black screw. Then 'count' the number of rotations that you have to unscrew each silver screw based on your initial 'tick 'markings and write that number down somehwere or on the metal plate itself. These two silver screws control the height adjustment. The black screw simply get's tightened down all the way and is not involved in the adjustment.
-Next carefully remove the ribbon cable from the PCB board. The motor should now come out.
-You should then be able to 'pull' off the the top of the motor (part where the game rests on).
-Sand the silver spindle with 320 grit sandpaper. You want it to be nice and shiny.
-Clean the spindle with denatured alcohol, or 90%+ Isopropyl Acohol if you don't have any.
-Check to ensure that the little red washer down inside the shaft is also intact and not damaged or worn in any way...if it is, you will need to replace it with a brass washer of the same size.
-After cleaning, lube the spindle with White Lithium Grease...do not use WD-40.
-Put it all back together and screw in the silver screws based on the number of turns you took them out with. If the DVD does not ready a game afterward, then your silver screws may not be restored correctly. You can then screw them in 'snug' and back them off 1.5 - 1.75 turns and this should get them back pretty close to the original factory adjustment.


Not Reading Discs: If you don't know the origin of the xbox and drive and if they have been opened then it could be a different DVD drive has been placed in and the key has been lost which means you have an overheating DVD player, unfortunately. If you know the DVD and MoBo are 'married', then chances are a cleaning of the laser or a tweak should fix the problem.

--==Console Reset Codes==--
Clear All Installed Game Updates and Console Cache
1. Go to the "system" blade
2. Select "memory"
3. Press Y on the HD symbol
4. Press X,X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X
5. A message will appear saying: "Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices?"
6. Select Yes


Clear Any Failed system updates that cause the console to error.
1. With the console off, press and hold the sync up button (the small white one)
2. While holding the sync button press the power button to turn on the console
3. Continue to hold the sync button until the Console has booted up completely.
4. During the boot process the console should clear any failed updates, allowing you to use it normally.








--==Power Supply==--

Plug the psu into the wall and led should go yellow (no matter if xbox is connected or not). Turn on xbox and led should turn green.

Yellow light is illuminated on the power supply for one of the following reasons:
• The console is turned off.
• The power supply is disconnected from the console.
• The power supply cord is not fully inserted into the power socket of the console.
• The power supply is faulty.
• The console is faulty. (This might be the case if the console does not turn on when the power supply light is orange.)
Red light occurs when the external power supply has detected a fault. The power supply has several built-in safeguards to help prevent damage to either the console or to the power supply itself. The power supply will turn itself off if one of the following conditions is true:
• When there is too much current
• When the voltage is too high
• When the temperature of the power supply is too high

Additional Information:
If the power supply is confirmed working but your console is still not working, it's most likely to be the Southbridge chip (cold joint or damaged componenets), the ROL board (replace it), a blown capacitor or transistor or a problem with the 5V lines.

If the light on the brick flashes red when trying to turn the consoles on, it's a problem with the standby power (if it was the switched power, you'd get an error code.) With a multimeter, check some 5V spots such as the USB.

If it's not the 5V power, then the problem should lie within a faulty ROL board or Southbridge. As said before, try replacing the ROL board.

If it's not 5V and not a bad ROL board/connector, then it's pointing towards the Southbridge or the voltage regulators near it. These are U5B1 and U5B2, measuring 3.3V and 1.8V at the larger tabs (opposite the 3 legs at the back of the MOSFET). These are located near the fans in the middle of the motherboard.

If they measure ok then a reflow of the Southbridge should fix it.

nice post.

maybe should add, no video/audio details. those are getting more and more common [no red ring]

[giant blunts]

good job guys. seems like everything is almost covered here =)

[giant blunts]

what about freezing guys?
im still trying to figure out why it freezes, no red rings.
there could be a couple of factors but i dont know what is the actual cause.

[Deary65]

Pre-RRoD.
Possible bad disk drive or game.

[DigitalEG]

I got a 0000 Error code, any idea what thats about? i dont see it on the above list

[Sick]

I honestly think that Freezing, Glitched, No Video and Weird Graphical images are all related to the GPU. Whenever I get these, I reflow the GPU and its working right after.

[CVX]

Agreed....All are Pre-RROD symptoms and 95% of the time a reflow of the Gpu will resolve it.

[Sick]

I've heard a few people reflow the GPU and CPU for these issues.

[Turboman]

do you have anything on the fan not working? if so what can i do my xbox's are not modded 1 i bought online thats an elite, other at yard sale and was working with a reflow x clamp fix but after six months it started locking up so i went to reflow it again and now i stoped reflow as the fan would come on then off any help would be apreaciated. do you know if llamma offers repair on xbox 360? or any were else.

[humakabula1]

i used to get the freezing alot but since i cut a big hole from my case it has seemed to stop

[hoobness]

mine just did the 3 light bs after owning it3 years 7 mos. $hit! Almost got 4 years out of it. So since its not warranted and xboxs are 300 less than i paid 3 years and 10 months ago, i figure i got nothing to lose by cracking it open and fixing it.

SO I got the 2ndary code - 0142. And no one has a clue what this is. So unless you guys got a solution im gonna through this thing in the oven for 5-6 hours wrapped in foil (for lack of a better summary)! LOL

Thank you and Im glad I found this site as Ive had lots of questions about it in the time ive owned it.

thanks in advance.

Your Secondary is 0102...a very common and fixable error. If you want to try and fix it yourself and get a bit longer out of it, you can apply a temporary fix by applying an x-clamp replacement. Search around as their are several different styles, but they all basically do the same thing.

A more longer term fix would be to have the Gpu BGA chip itself reflown on professional equipment. Let us know how it goes
