The penis should've tipped you off something was wrong.
Also, being affiliated with the cops was an issue in that? :p

Pretty easy to fix. All you need is thermal paste, rubbing alcohol, and a few screws and nylon washers. I can walk you through it if you want.
Almost feel like I ought to be gathering the troops on halo to give it a salute of bagging nubs
Get a smurfing new one ASAP!
I expect you back by months end!
ok dennis i poured alcohol into the vents now what?
Ghehe, no, I'm serious. It takes about 2-3 hours and you'll have an 360 that'll never RROD again. Or you can keep the x-clamps, shaves off 30 minutes, but then it'll happen again.
I'll upload a manual I learned it from. One moment.
edit: there you go

Cheers Dennis. Will give it a go when I have time.
I'll warn you now, three things you need to know:
1. Removing the old thermal paste will take forever. But don't skip out on it, or try to force it off. Be patient. It doesn't have to be completely removed, just something like 70-80%.
2. Get the right size screws. Seriously, they are hard to find, but go to a large hardware store, because if they are longer you will either screw the heat sink broken, or be unable to put the motherboard back in the container.
3. Just use the nylon washers, one on top and one under. Don't use metal ones as well, because it will be too thick and you won't be able to fit the motherboard anymore. And for the love of master chief don't use metal ones only, unless you want a static shocks crashing your motherboard.
For the rest, if you have problems, just ask. Total cost for repairing is something like 15 euros, a lot better than 150 for a new unit, so definitely something to try.
am tempted to get a new unit for a new hard drive though :D current one is 20 gigs, would be interested in getting a 250 gig...!
New 360s are pretty damn sexy, 250gb hard drive, paul just think of the smurfery on that we could forge a giant penis and make Dennis play with it all the time ;)
I might give that a whirl on my dead 360. But smurfing what a lifespan on that one. Mine RRoD thrice in as many years :monster:
It's this Australian heat you see
Worst team ever, those Australian Heat.
I need willing shmucks to help me finish the weekly challenge within the, uh, week. When I am on and you are on, it is, um, on.
