this is a bridged solder joint under CPU/GPU/RAM
The X Clamp replacement might fix it

AS5 is a "heatsink paste" if it is a paste for computer chips it should be okay, it will just not conduct heat as well as AS5

If the problem was your XBox 360's hair was wet, then yes. As far as reflowing solder with a hair dryer - ain't gonna happen, cap'n.

Well one last try to help you if you dont get it this time all hope is lost and you will have to buy a new 360.

There are 2 known fixes that are proven to be working
1) The X-Clamp Fix by Lawdawg Link: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=599216
2) Heatgunning the GPU Link: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=651407

Terrible idea. Don't even think about trying that. Save your money and buy a heat gun. Its an absolute necessity for xbox 360 owners who fix rrod themselves.

seriously, i would even suggest you try and fix it yourself (especially with a heatgun). send it off to someone who will do it correctly and wont kill it
