I found a 360 on Craigslist with the RROD for $30 it comes with all the cords and 2 controllers, but no games. Regardless of the cost, how successful are attempts at fixing them? Or rather, what is the success rate?

The rrod is just a broad term for general hardware failure that is rendering the console unusable.

If the console is a victim to the early troubles, it was a fault in the chipset causing overheating and the solder\board to melt and warp. Therefore to fix this is nearly impossible and pretty much anything of importance is broken beyond repair. Replacement would be necessary.

Not worth it I'm my opinion.

Not worth it.

This is something that you would MAYBE buy for parts of you were desperate. 360 is not expensive for the solid model (slim) if you really want one.

$30 for a broken 360 is a lot of money

But if u know how to fix rod, u can probably get them cheaper

Depends what is broken. If the main board is warped and you need to replace it you might as well buy another 360.

Even if you fix it once it will most likely have problems later on. It's better to just get a new one or just get one from gamestop or something with a warranty if your getting one used at least but they are cheap enough new so that would be the best choice ofc.

remove the x-clamp and tie down the heatsync tighter with screws

should fix it for about 3 months before it starts to die again. after that its pretty much dead
