My Problem
Duh. It was broke.
My Fix
The repair went well. Ifixit guides with pictures are invaluable on difficult repairs. The only problem was the T8 driver supplied with the RROD kit is junk. I removed one screw and on the next one the shaft started spinning in the handle. Luckily I had a set of Torx bits of my own.
My Advice
Don't be afraid to really heat up the motherboard to get the solder reflowed.
