All that money you spent on modding doesn't seem like such a good idea now does it?

OK when you say RRoD do you mean the actual 3 flashing red lights that signify a hardware failure? Or is it 1 or 2 lights?

About 6 months ago my 360 went RRoD and after an examination I found that my Nyco Intercooler 360 fan had Melted and Burned where it plugs into the 360. luckily I was able to detach it without breaking the prongs in the plug and the 360 stopped RRoDing when I tried to use it without the fan.

Then just last week I started getting 2 red lights which means overheating. So I took off the faceplate & drive off then I huffed and puffed and blew many lungfuls of air into all the vents on my 360 which kicked out a large amount of very fine particles of dust with a nasty black oily consistency, THEN I hooked up my vacuum cleaner with the brush and sucked the **** out of all the vents on the 360 while blowing air into the other vents. All that nasty oily dust was apparently frying inside the 360 trapping heat and causing the 360 to overheat.
