Details for Error code E03/0003

PRiME on 2011-09-14 08:30:18 :

Reballed GPU fixed my 0003 error. But clearly if that does not work then A) Its
a broken GPU B) Its a broken MOSFET, or some power regulator to GPU (such as
u8n1). PS. Some people need to learn how-to write English correctly ;)

Here you can enterso is this error a gpu issue then and not a cpu error?? also
by popcorned does this mean when there is like air bubbles on the gpu?? your
comment...

Got this after attempting a SB reflow for the first time.

This is weird I have 234 light up instead of 134. error code 0003 Im not sure
what its calle but it is a black cylinder with a copper coil wrapped around it.
It is the closest one to where the fan goes. as soon as i hit the power button a
buzz comes from that and i get a light pattern like this .:

0003 Can also be a cause of missing suface mount components!

0003 means gpu burnt or popcorned...nothing to do! If you want to be sure, just
desolder the GPU, clean it, and verify the resistance: should be 0.5 ohm (like
0) if it is burnt, or around 2 ohm if it is good.
If it is burnt the only think you can do is buy a new reballed gpu or take it
from another board and reball it yourself!

0003 yup to much heat kills gpu

didnt mean to post twice sorry i didnt see the first post on here.

azazel on 2011-01-15 06:45:37 :

reflowed with no clean flux now ive got 0003 should I reflow the cpu first or
test the mosfets first? any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks in advance

azazel on 2011-01-15 06:43:37 :

just did the heatgun with insulation fix plus no clean liquid flux for e74 and
now i have 0003. Should i first try reflowing the CPU? or should I test the
MOSFET"S first? Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

i can confirm that 0003 on a falcon is a gpu problem.
same as solidwars e74
while reflowing to fix the e74 one of the balls popped out from under the gpu(i
know...its the first time i ever saw that happen)

solidwars on 2010-05-21 20:17:27 :

I had this same problem after heat gun reflow on E74 error it gave me 3 RROD
secondary code 0003. I tried loosening the CPU heatsink it made no difference
then i tried the GPU heatsink and it started up. It was working but i wasnt
happy with looseness of the heatsink against mobo so decided to try nylon
washers (slightly thicker) with metal ones on top. No idea how long it will last
but working for 3 days proper use so far.

Some of the boards that I've experimented with, 0003 occurred after i
killed the GPU.
