    Step one - remove the cover using a special XBOX360 cover removing tool that you can buy online.

    Step two - remove the interior metal shielding exposing the main CPU, DVD drive, and other electronic components.

    Step three - carefully disconnect the DVD drive.

    Step four - place the individual components of the RROD 360 into individually labeled plastic (or paper, your choice) bags and set them aside for later.

    Step four - go out and buy a new XBOX360 slim, take it home, hook it up and restore your account.

    Step five - take the individually labeled plastic bags containing your RROD 360 components to your local electronics recycle center.

    Step six - go home and play with your new XBOX360 slim.

    or put it up on craigslist you'd be surprised...
    I put up my old xbox 360 which had the RROD on it up for free.. a college kid in burlington vermont (about a hour away) wanted it. and i was up there for another reason too so its not like i wasted a bunch of gas just to give this kid a xbox. Keep in mind i put free on the ad....
    The kid gave me 20 bucks for my trouble. I was like "sweet!"

    Yes. I was obviously being facetious.

    If you can "repair" a RROD, don't throw the system out ... but know that it's on borrowed time.

    There are plenty of DIY techniques to "repair" a RROD, however to the best of my knowledge they're all temporary as the design flaws which contribute to/cause a RROD will always eventually supersede in the long-term any corrective measures that the user employs.

    I still think investing in a slim is the best way to go if you want to "fix" a RROD situation.

    hence why i gave mine away i was like none of these look permanent and majority of them look jerry-rigging it style
    my favorite being you tape pennies to components to make it act like a heat sync
