A friend of mine owns a x360 since december, and it was playing just fine till yesterday when appears the dreaded 3 red rings...  We opened the box and put a new thermal component inside the gpu and cpu, closed the box and it worked again... for three hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)   Now even in a cold state it doesn't work again, I checked the error code....1200, but its not yet explained in the forums (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)  Anyone here heard of this kind of error? pls help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Where can you get new thermal components?

Should not have opened it. Its better to just take the $130 up the ass (if your warrenty is out) then have to pay for a new box just becuase you though one of the fixes would work.

He means the TIM, thermal interface compound... the "goop" that goes between a heatsink and chip to help transfer heat.
The good stuff is called Arctic Silver 5, check Newegg.com.  You can get it pretty much anywhere online.
