RRoD Has struck again!
Well the GPU solder joints have cracked and it needs to be reflowed gargh how annoying, off to buy a heat gun and more thermal paste. Anyone interested in a tutorial on how to do it?

It was, till it failed to fix the gpu 
Life goes on I guess, and so does a reflow of the solder underneath the chip!

Yeah, I'll do a couple of guides since she's apart. I kinda lied in the title, no RRoD but GPU is fucked and dies after 3 mins. Should be fixed now. Just cooked it!

I've tried everything and can only get mine to work for about 5 mins before it freezes, then I have to bake it again. I'm just gonna sell it on ebay as faulty and hopefully get about £30 out of it, already bought a new console anyway.
