I can confirm that this can be a southbridge issue, have a box in for repair
with an instant 0002 (less then a second before RROD) after placing pressure on
the southbridge it boots (found by mynamesuxlol above) fixing to reflow, will
advise if it fixes the problem

Ok, I found this error out the hard way, my nylon washer i had under my gpu
heatsink was creating a short on the board upon install, i saw it plain as day.
I was waiting for the correct washer to arrive so i just put a small piece of
electrical tape between where the contact was made. This bought me a few days
until a hole wore through the tape (micro hole might I add). SO, my 0002 was
caused by the GPU having to thin of washers which creates the same problem as
OVERTIGHTNIN the bolts on the GPU SINK NOT CPU SINK bc it can squeeze the
heatsink down too far in too tight, got proper washers and VOILA!

I have solved replace the C8U1 because it was open... The "C"
it's around at the U8U1 on the bottom of the mainboard. Coordinate
"8U". If you try to remove this capacitor, the XBOX release for you
a nice code "0002". ;)

solved by reballing GPU!

I just did this hybrid X clamp mod to my XBOX and it did worked for a couple of
days, but now I have this 102 code and 1 red light light. What can it be, or
what possible whent wrong? I would appreciate if I get a good answer and not go
of coarse with other comments because its very important for me to find an
answer quick.

Can also be caused by a transistor breaking off and being replace by a solder
bridge. It also happened when a short is created by the motherboard cage. I
fixed that by putting electrical tape on the bottom of the cage where the
motherboard touches.

Can also be caused by southbridge, i would apply pressure, then 0002 is gone, i
take away the pressure > 0002

I had this problem with mine xbox, and i solved this problem by just adding some
thermal compount onder the CPU, i don't know if this always solves this
problem

This also occurs when the washers used in an X-clamp mod are too large. It
causes a bridge between the GPU and CPU heatsink. Using plastic washers or
reverting to the stock x-clamps will combat this error.
