Remember for this trick you need to open your xbox 360 which means if ur still under warranty you wont be able to send it back to microsoft if it is unsuccesful. I found this guide on a fourm and its worked for many people including me. Ok you will need A roll of electrical tape 8 or 12 pennies depending on how much pressure you want to apply (I used 8)Kit to open an xbox360 (T10 and T8) screwdriver to open hardrive. THeir are tutorials on Youtube for opening xbox if u need. I was getting these freezing crashes, With a nice checkered pattern and crackling sound effect to go with it. After a these crashes became more frequent eventually it would no longer boot up just red lights of deathSo what to do is get your self some electrical tape and some pennies I used 8 pennies = 2 pennies for each replacement thermal pad for the ram So cut the electrical tape long enough to wrap around the pennies. I wrapped 2 bits of tape around each twice When you have your 4 replacement pads, Double up some tape i.e so its sticky both sides then attach them to your motherboardIf you cant quite get the pennes to stick on the chips try a hot glue gun and slightly dab it on the back of the pennes and stick it on. When you have finished that re assemble your xbox360. Put back all of the screws including the gpu and cpu heatsink (x-clamp) screws and do them all up nice and tightWhen you have fully re asembled your xbox360 try starting it up. If it doesnt work and you still have 3 red lights don't worry (yet). This is when you need to apply heat, their are differnt methods but I tried the towel trick for 18 mins.And then hey presto its working again!This trick has been tested on 40 xbox 360's 11 months ago and out of the 40 only 1 failed.THis helped me hope it helps you to. =D
