Is there a fix for this? will the x clamp fix repair this???
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

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.

and yet you still ask for links, help etc when it has already been provided more than once!
why dont you actually try to fix it then report back with any further problems...
P.S- the hair drye isnt going to work, not by a long shot, say about 200oC! so lets get that out of our little head.
the only way to reflow the CPU/GPU/RAM/ anything is with a heatgun or a professional oven.
not to sound mean buts its frustrating hearing the same thing over and ever
