The fan is working perfectly... :/

Does it always happen at the same spot, or is it random?

Read this. From your video it looks like:

GREEN for half a sec then RED Flashing:
Bad/Corrupted or Empty Eeprom.

In spite of the LED flashing indicating that it's an eeprom problem, that definitely sounds like overheating. Check the heatsinks, make sure they aren't loose.

If the heatsinks are OK then it's possible that the temperature sensor (embedded in one of the custom Xbox chips, AFAIR) has failed, at which point the Xbox is effectively history. However, I'd still be tempted to try reflashing the eeprom before throwing the motherboard in the bin - it can't hurt.

The xbox was working perfectly without frag before the bad eeprom flashing!

...and therefore the eeprom is almost certainly your problem, as I said in my last post but one. Reflash it, reflash with a completely different eeprom, make sure it's the right version for your Xbox (1.6 eeprom contents are different).

I'm almost certain there isn't a temp sensor trace - I think it's in-band, or memory mapped, or maybe on the i2c bus.

Your English is fine - much better than my Italian!

Glad you got it sorted.
