My Problem
My 360 would consistently overheat and shut down with the 2 red lights. The fans would run real loudly yet the air coming out wasn't all that hot. I blew out the dust but very little came out. So I decided to try the RROD fix.
My Fix
Following the directions and using the tools in the kit the Xbox came apart fairly easily. I noticed immediately that the thermal grease on the graphics chip was toast. It was completely hard. Using Deoxit got it cleaned up real quick. I didn't do the reflow step because I was only getting the 2 red lights, not the 3 indicative of total failure. After reassembly I noticed how much quieter it ran. I ran BF3 for almost an hour with no shut down.
My Advice
Go slow and follow the directions. Deoxit cleans it fast. Be careful!
