seriously, don't bother fixing it.

I fixed my fat xbox360 for like 3 times, RROD came back every year. Did towel trick, toothpick trick, new heatsink, new heat paste, new x clamp. I end up paying more than buying a brand new one, RROD still slapped me in my face, that's why I bought the slim, nothing wrong so far.

What happened to my fattie? the fat xbxo360 was kept in my room in pieces for over 2 years. In August, I looked up Taobao (chinese ebay), found someone who would BGA CPU and GPU for $25, I gave that a try. The guy told me the solder balls under my CPU were cracked, he reballed everything for me, now I have 2 xbox (one for backups, one for xbox live)
