I decided to give all the tips and tricks floating around on the web a chance on my old dead 360 even tho I have bought a new one already. I wrapped it in 2 towels and turned it on. I let it stand there until it was so warm it turned itself off. Then I applied another trick I found on YouTube where you are supposed to apply pressure to the back of the GPU and the motherboard. So I gave it a good long massage on its back and then turned it on. So far it works. Its up and running again like the RLOD never happened. So,um, yea... I currently have 2 fully funcional Xbox 360s. It will be internesting to see how long it will last.
