Cant believe it mines just gone into standy by with the yellow light coming on when i try to turn it on.
Looked at some guides on how to fix it, but has anyone done it on here and does it actually last.

Needs the chips and board reflowing then. Follow the YouTube how too's and should be ok. I did mine twice as the first time it lasted about 10 days the second it lasted long enough to transfer the data to a slim ps3. I then did it a 3rd time and sold it as working so no ideas if it's still going or not!

I'll be attempting a repair on this soon. Got an Xbox360 to do first though.

Xbox is back in action again now, giving it plenty of load (oo er) for a few hours to see how it holds up...3hrs so far and its been ok.

Ball grid, usually the GPU from what i've been reading but people tend to reflow both CPU and GPU + memory (i think that's what they are; grouped in pairs, front and back of the board).

I know I keep barking about the Xbox, and I apologise, but I reflowed the CPU, GPU and Memory, Hana and Southbridge, its still running fine on high load.

Did just use a heat gun on it and replaced heatsink compound? Did you flux any of the ball grids?

Yeah I used a heat gun at 600°F for 4 minutes focussing on the areas I mentioned earlier, I also fully removed all old compound and polished the CPU and GPU to a mirror finish, and used Arctic Silver thermal compound on it and reasembled.
Edit: I didnt reflux anything.
