Third XBOX 360 Red Ring of Death I fixed


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Clearly someone tried before but it was shoddy



 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


The old thermal paste had to be removed



 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Cleaned of most of the thermal paste



 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


New screws and washers. These are the right ones much shorter



 


 


 


 


 



GPG and CPU cleaned to a mirror finish


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Applied new thermal paste to heat sinks, CPU and GPU



 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 



Placed heat sinks on GPU and CPU with an additional mod for a more efficient cooling


 


 


 


 


 


Powered the unit up with the fans disconnected still showing the Red Rind of Death


 


 


 


 


 


 


Four minutes later the system is done RROD is gone!
