I have, today, given my colleague my old dead xbox. I said if he can fix it, he can have it. It never had the RROD, it just froze. Did you get the x-clamp kit thing? He's been looking at how to guides, is it easy to do?

As above :thumleft: Most of them come with a guide thats spot on.

Hardest thing is getting it apart if you don't have the right tools. Get em off ebay for like £10.

Also tricky to remove the x-clamps from the board.

most of the time its just the GPU one that needs doing.

I left my CPU alone on this one and its been fine :thumleft:

also, if you get the one with the screws you'll need to put some metal spacers inbetween the motherboard and the chassis as the bolts touch the chassis and make the board bend in the middle causing future problems.
