I have a 360 with the red ring of death. It's been laying around for a couple years because I'm not sure what to do with it. Does anyone know for sure how much it costs to fix? Probably not worth it but I figured I'd ask. If I don't repair it is it just trash? It's a full sized, black "Elite" model circa 2008ish in case anyone is wondering.

If its the GPU/CPU you will have to get it re-balled for it to work. Or you could just try and heat-gun the fuck out of it.

There's a shop near me that fixes it for 60 bucks. It's worth getting it fixed

acording to the youtubes and my complete set of skillfull ignorance the rrod is an over heating issue because the used insufecient or bad heat dope. thats what the internet says it also says it can be a bad mother board :P id clean the heatsinks dust bust everything with compresed air and re apply heat compound and give it a whirl if not plug it in and start touching shiney things with a screwdriver thats always cool xD JK BTW NEVER DO THAT

If it's cheap to fix then why not?

 

Plenty of good things on 360 like GTA V, Halo and Forza.

If you add new thermal paste to the cpu and gpu it will most likely work.
