The best way to fix it is to put it in the dryer for about 15 minuter.. it makes it like new.... no but seriously i did the "Hybrid Team xbox 360 red ring" fix... it has alot of good info. and it's been working fine so far. Cost me 25$ for everything and took me like 4 hours though because I was trying to do it carefully. Just beware that once finished you will probably get serveral red ring of deaths until you tweak it perfectly (fine tuning the screws)... its kinda annoying but worth it! RUN ON SENTENCES + CAPS LOCK FTW lol yea, static can wipe out your memory.. they even have ’static bands’ which basically ground you…

Last week it decided to return to the RROD to my dismay. I then decided to try it again and of course it has fixed the issue again. It seems to me that this is only a temporary fix, but it's better than buying a new unit every year since the total repair cost is less than 6 bucks. Not to mention the fact that this is one of the easiest computer repairs I have ever seen. I used this method to fix my 360 about 4 months ago and it fixed the issue.

What did I do wrong? Instead of arctic silver I tried thermal paste due to other videos and now I'm about to smash the thing...any ideas?

When I turn it on it goes to the 3 rings instead of the two for overheating. Do I need to leave it on? Will it go from 3 to 2?

So if your warrant has completely run out and you are going to attempt this be damn sure your not gonna do anything stupid like set your motherboard down on the place you think in clear and i sudgest having some pretty good experience, other than my warnings GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY GAMING!

This video helps a lot. But some of the parts i wasnt able to obtain. So i improvise using Cooler Master Thermal Paste, 8 - 3/16" X 1/2" machine screw, 16 - 3/16" Flat Metal Washer, 16 Homemade Paper Washer. Total cost of parts RM 21.30 which is about 5.80 USD. I followed the video every step of the way. after 2 hours of hassle my xbox was revived. Just finish reviving my 3RRoDed 360. This video helps a lot. But some of the parts i wasnt able to obtain.
