Koby Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 This error can easily be fixed with the penny trick.Open the system up, remove the big plastic thing that the air is meant to flow through for the back fans.Take 10 to 11 pennies and wrap them up good in electric tape and stick on the CPU chip. Place the plastic thing back down. It should push up against the pennies perfectly and keep them from movie and the pennies will keep the chip down when the soldering gets hot enough to loosen. I had a console given to me with this error and I applied this trick myself and it seemed to work for a bit but there is something else wrong with the console too.
