@Polonumber23 It's a thermal paste/ compound. It costs around 12$ at radioshack.

only the mother board... i definately like the idea of protecting the other parts with tin foil .

[lukiusjohn]

as a last resort... we took apart the xbox 360 took some soldering flux, a cheap liquid you can buy on amazon or ebay, and put it only around the gpu and cpu ... we cooked it in a 420 degree preheated oven on a cookie sheet on some planks of wood so that it wasn't on the cookie sheet... O man i thought it was ruined for sure , but that fix has lasted almost a year now and it is still going... that is the method he used to fix his ps3 also... lasting him 3/4 of a year before his crashed for good
