    Sorry Carl but no, if it’s a classic RRoD you’re not going to be able to fix it without the help of an automated BGA soldering machine. Real shame you’re just out of warranty too. Hopefully they’ve fixed it in the newer revisions but if not it’d be nice if mine failed before 3 years.

    I had a similar issue, it would only sometimes rrod. I took my x-clamps off and just used rubber washers and screws to hold the heat sinks on. I found that if the motherboard bends just slightly it will cause a rrod. Now my xbox is on it’s side with the bottom part of the case off and never had any issues for a while now. a bit ghetto but it works.
