well nice tut but i do not advise anyone to do "First, take a toothpick, and start scraping off the dried thermal paste off both the chips, and the heatsinks. "
use a cotton wool buds with /methylated spirits/cleaning alchhol.

This is a genuine common fix. I used to work for a game and console reseller. This is how we did a LOT of store repairs.

If that's the truth, then thanks a lot. That's giving members (me included) a lot of confidence in this method. Thanks!

I tried to do a similar fix I found somewhere else with my last xbox that got RROD, failed miserably.

I just ended up getting it professionally reflowed for 50 dollars or something =/.
