i was one of the unfixable reasons the **** thing wasn't even warm so it couldn't been over heating none the less it only cost me 30

rrod isn't necesarily an overheating issue. there are many issues that can cause the 360 to rrod. overheating is just the most common issue.

though, on a side note. i have 2 dead consoles. i'm thinking of a way to destroy them. i realy want to build a 300-500 count sparkler bomb and fit it inside the 360 and blow it up. these things need to go out with a bang.

1 360 isn't receiving power to the GPU causing it to rrod.

the other has a broken PCB board on the cd drive which won't allow me to extract the firmware to flash it onto another drive i have laying around.

I had one with general hardware failure. I removed the spring clamps and used screws. It fixed the code, but now it throws a RROD for something else. I don't remember what, but I want to say it had something to do with the power or AV cords.

i know about swapping the PCB board, that is how i found that the PCB board is fried.

it's alright really. i have 2 untampered with elites and a fixed standard console so the broken one is no biggie.

i've looked left and right. the only ones i could find are the gold wedding ones and those are an arm and a leg and not even the appropiate ones to use. :/

if someone could buy me some and secretly ship them to me i will be glad to pay plus some for the hassle. it would make an awesome video

They have the #8 Colored on Bamboo sticks, not sure if that makes a difference.
