How to fix broken Xbox 360 by myself?

Before I go over whether Xbox 360 repairs are actually possible I will discuss the cause of the red ring of death. It’s actually quite simple, the problem is caused by too much heat in too small of an area. Have you noticed that when you play your 360 it gets extremely hot? In some cases peoples’ consoles have become so hot that they’ve actually been able to fry eggs on the case! All this heat is the result of an inefficient cooling system and can cause major damage to the components. Of course the Xbox 360 is an intelligent gaming system and as soon as damage from the heat is detected the console goes into “lockdown” mode, displaying the 3 red lights to let you know that there is a problem.
