if the mother board is even slightly warped your screwed with those ebay kits, mine was, fixed it worked fine for a week then just came back and no matter how times i fixed it it wouldnt work! just bought a new slim in the end! happy days!

I fixed mine with one of the kits off ebay, didnt work first time, but i emailed the guy and he told me to try to loosen the screws slightly as I may have overtightened them. Got it working after his advice and not had any problems (fingers crossed) since the fix and thats been a couple of months.

i've fixed loads of 360's using the ebay kits - the trick is to not go mental and tighten the fook out of the screws.

if after the fix you still get rrod then you need to let it overheat for 20 minutes (or when two red lights come on) with the screws finger tight.

let it cool for 30 mins and it should be all good. nip the screws up and away you go.

only been beaten 2 consoles so far

The kit i got came with a guy aswell and thats the advice i got about letting it heat up, cool down and tighten..

The ebay supplier forgot to put in the 16 steel and 16 nylon washers so waiting on them now

Was hoping to get it sorted over the weekend but will just have to wait

Much success!!!

Kit worked, hopefully its a long term solution

Ok not long term afterall

3 lights issue is fixed but the 360 has frozen twice today already, getting worried now..

Any ideas??? From reading on the net, theres suggestions of cleaning out the power supply. Thats prob the next thing ill be looking at..

Dont have cash at the moment to replace it. Have purchased good few games and rockband, guitar hero bits etc so slow to replace with the PS3 which i might have to start saving for

Whilst it is working take it somewhere that buys consoles then buy another console with the cash from that

Unfortunately the kits are only a temporary fix, I repaired mine it lasted a couple of months then RROD returned.  Going to purchase a new 360 in the new year.  Hope you get it sorted again soon.
