Our 360 died last night, and I thought it was the end until we found your video. Today we got the thermal compound, Torx screws and started taking everything apart step-by-step along side your video. Only thing we added was the penny trick as well, as ours had the crappy stickers on the back. So after adding the new compound, re-assembling the board, we plugged it in and low and behold- OUR 360 WAS ALIVE AGAIN!!! I can't thank you enough man! SO PPL, YES THIS DOES WORK!! THANX AGAIN! LIFE SAVER

This actually worked for me over 10 days in a row and still is working. Here's list of materials: Polytheistic thermal compound (silver) (always in radio shack) 1/8 torkwinch 1/16 torkwinch (The washers aren't necessary in his other vids) and a flat head screwdriver.

Excellent explanation on how to fix. Worked great for me. Had to re-do it because my washers were too thick and prevented the heat sinks from touching the chips. Gotta only use a very thin layer of thermal compound (got mine at Radio Shack), and keept the washers thin enough to allow full contact. Thanks!

Excellent video. I fixed my son's xbox the day after I discovered your video. To clean the old thermal compound off of the heatsinks I used peanut butter. PB works very quickly. I did not use peanut butter on the chips themselves. Only on the heatsinks. It took longer than I thought it would to get the mirror shine on the chips with the rubbing alcohol but the toothpicks and q-tips worked. Anyways, another success story. 5-stars for this video and a big thank you from my son too.

I actually needed to know specifically how to get inside the console so I found it very helpful. The towel trick is a temp fix, you only overheat the console more, it will probably break again. And for those of us with modded consoles (me), we already have a void warranty and want a working xbox 360 again. And no, the mod isn't what caused the red ring of death.

Just an update. I changed my method of the x clamp fix. I drilled holes through the bottom of the box where the small screws went in through the mobo. This way has worked for the last 4 days with no problems. It is also much easier to loosen or tighten the heat sinks if need be. This method works. Still using all metal washers and nexxtech heatsink compound.

I can say this definitely works (I didn't bother about the washers though just redid the thermal paste), if you are not sure give it a try, just make sure you have a small flat blade screw driver, T8 and T10 screw drivers/bits (6 point star shape), and thermal paste.

Thanks for letting me know about that. Only problem is that I opened the case about 2 weeks ago to see if it was overheating due to it being dusty inside. Turns out it was pretty dirty in there so I cleaned it and put it back together. They won't do anything for me even if I pay them. Sucks to be me.

No one clarified for me so thought I would point out what I ended up needing from home depot 8 M5x10mm screws 16 #8 steel washers 16 #10 nylon washers I used Dynex Silver thermal from Best buy. When it's time to overheat, actually leave the fan plugged in with one of the fans pointing down on the CPU(the one not under the hard drive). Without any of the outside casing on yet, let the xbox run for 45 minutes. This will make a perfect bond w/o damaging the cpu. MIne has been working ever since.

yeah. It matters whether you have it out like in the vid or enclosed like in an entertainment center. More considerations are how will the cool air get in and hot air get out, otherwise, is it in a fairly open spot, the temperature of your residence and the amount of time you spend playing games that put a load on the system like Halo, Gears of War, ETC.

When you send it in for repair, you get a one year warranty after your unit is repaired and returned. That's why you got it free the second time. It happened within a year of the initial breakdown. If it happened after a year of the initial breakdown, then I don't know. I'm going off of what the xbox support web site states.

8 hours? At least you got one, I mean two. Glad I did not have to wait that long. I got to a local target about 20 minutes before opening and was able to get one. You were able to get them replaced for free? When did you encounter the RRoD's? Mine happened at Christmas 2008, which would put me outside the extended warranty period. I wish the RRoD for my console had happened a couple of months before. Sucks to be me. Guess I'll either try this technique or send it to MS with more money.

You take off the sideplates, then the faceplate, then the top and bottom (there are little holed in the back that you have to insert a screwdriver then push up on each one), then u remove the top, and take off the OUTSIDE screws with a T10 screwdriver. Then, you pull off the bottom cover and then just pull the 2 cords out of the back of the dvd drive and voila.

Then I unplugged the power cable let it cool down for at least 45 MIN w/o fan blowing on it like i did b4 (mistake) The key also is to let the 360 cool down naturally DO NOT USE A FAN TO BLOW ON IT.
