My Xbox 360 crapped out on me again. I previously had the E-74 error so I bought the X-clamp fix and everything was great for 3 months then one morning i woke up and had 3 RROD.....i tried to remove the bolts from the fix and scraped off the old arctic silver paste and reapplied with a new tube but no luck...I don't have video or audio at all....could it be the video cable is just bad??? Was asking before I went out and bought a new one if not having the AV Cable in would cause the 3 RROD or should I just go through the ENTIRE process over with a new box?

So annoyed at this point.

It probably just broke again, chances are the cables are fine. Try a hybrid fix, and if that doesn't work you're going to need a reflow.
