And I remember the problem being that the CPU or GPU gets loose or something. --- End quote --- Wrong. The thermal compound on the CPU and GPU sucks on the old 360's. It didn't transfer the heat correctly and would break the 360s. By replacing it with some quality thermal compound, it'll work like brand new. This is called the x-clamp fix. |

Send the xbox in and get a fresh one for free. That's right, free. |

There is a possibility, but not very likely. --- Quote from: Chrono on November 08, 2009, 06:07:36 PM ---Send the xbox in and get a fresh one for free.
