[quote="christianbran"]also how long do they typically last and should get a non reballed/reflowed jtag and if so who sells them here?? i dont just want a jtag for lobbys im interested in actually using it.

Ive been told that they are better after being reflowed and reballed, but mine isnt cause i got it off of craigslist. I dont know you sell them exactly, but look at the stickies for legitimate sellers. Good luck!

alright i just see crazzyp1977 high prices and i thought that the reflow/reballed really mattered

Lol a reflow/reball is the best thing you can do for a jtag. Or any xbox. to prevent RROD. If you bought a xenon and it wasn't reflowed/reballed the chances of it RROD-ing in a week is like 95% (:

Here is the thing...Most of these Jtags you find around here have been Reflowed...You cannot find Reballed Jtags as you can Reflowed...Most Jtags have been reworked and if they say new, like crazy, it's a flat out stretch of a lie...

Maybe refurb'd by MS but not damn new. That's just funny...

Reballed Jtag is by far the best option you can go...Doesn't matter revision when it comes to a Jtag as the solder is better than the stock solder(non reballed)...

I just sold a xenon jtag the other day....As far as I know, only icy tank and I sell reballed units on here...Maybe godfather does as well, as he reballs units...

Be weary of small timers saying they Reflowed the console when in actuality they just have a wagner heat gun or throw the whole mobo in the oven for a few hours...

Always try to go with the seller who offers the longest warranty with the Jtags...I myself offer a 3 month on reflowed units and 6 on reballs...Just out of stock atm until I catch back up on work...

Hey!!!! I throw the entire mobo into the oven!!!! :idea:

But, that is just to draw moisture out prior to BGA work lol... ;)

But Nitz0 is correct, a console that is reballed is 100% better than one that has not been reballed and the life expectancy of it is 10000x better off.

Holy shit...I laughed so hard...At first I thought this was your video and you were going to be talking...Then I thought your balls were up in your throat by the way you were talking, just died laughing for a min...

Good post...Good post!! Me and another guy have been noticing some boards come out "floppy" with the sc pro... Gotta figure that one out..

Yeah, it is just due to the 7 layers of the board being heated and cooled rapidly, it will fix itself once it settles down and the layers re-adhere. Don't sweat that too much, as long as they are booting, they are good to go ;)

Side note: You shoulda known that wasn't me
