Fixing Bander’s Xbox 360
A few days ago my friend, Bander, was disappointed because his Xbox 360 was freezing up. After a few Google searches we realized that this is the prequel to the famous RRoD (Red Ring of Death).
Since we didn’t want to see an RRoD on Bander’s precious Xbox, we decided to take it apart and fix the heat sink. Midway we decided to document the endeavor. Here you go

Hi Mohammad,
What did you use to remove the existing thermal grease from the Xbox cpu/gpu? I am having rrod and I want to fix it my self, and by searching online I’ve found out that the most recommended product for removing the thermal grease is called Arctic Clean, which I wasn’t able to find in Amman and I am looking for an alternative cleaner.
Hi Wael,
As you noticed the Xbox stopped working completely after we “Fixed” it. We used regular rubbing alcohol (Sperto) which removed most of the gunk from the chips. Just make sure you don’t ruin your Xbox in the process.
My recommendation is getting a new Xbox Arcade from Bahrain if you know someone who can do that for you
Thanks a lot for your response Mohammad. Well I actually prefer ruining it than selling it in its current condition with one controller and all the accessories for 25 JD, the price given to me by Al-Aqsa
