That sucks..
But that's not as bad as my co-worker, he bought a PS3 out of a trunk for like 500 bucks, when he invited me over to open it..it was a bunch of cinder blocks

I have a ps3, one of the 80GB that came out first. It was fucking heavy. I told my co-worker that, so I suppose that in a way I contributed to the scam indirectly because I told him that and he believed he was buying an actual ps3.

replace the x-clamps and put on better thermal paste.. then do the towel trick to reset it
uh probably might cost like $20 and its a 50%
but it might be worth a try
open it up before and make sure its not been done before
if you get it to work for 5 minutes turn it off and go to game stop to get some money back

Do a drive-by just in case.
Also try the thermal paste thing/w.e. I dont know much about the xbox internals since ive never owned one, but this definitely sounds like an overheating issue they are quite known for. No reason there shouldn't be a way to mod it to compensate for this.

Don't think a drive-by is necessary over an XBox & wont make much of a difference There's enough ignorance and violence in the ghetto already
I don't know much about electronics but the overheating issue sounds quite plausible and I'd say the little TEK given above is worth a try

sorry dude.. i dont know why you would have bought it from some sketchy dude in the first place.
$30 more and you could have bought a refurb one from bestbuy that actually has a return policy.

I'm going to answer yes, what you have is commonly what happens before you get the RROD for good

yeah i had one that did that same thing..
im pretty sure thats the gpu over heating
get an error code off the xbxo.. hold the sync while pressing eject four times (4 lights = 0) so an example would be: 0230 (theres never a 4 in an error code)
google: xbox 360 error code (your code)
0022 (most of them) needs a machine to take off the gpu to make a new solder ball (15000$ machine) you can fix them temperamentally sometimes and if you do cash that shit in before it fucks you

So I opened her up and it looks like the mod has not been installed yet, but when I took the heatsinks off it's pretty clear someone was messing with it. It looks like they put new thermal paste and used the old screws and X-clamps??
What should I do?

not saying the guy didnt fuck you over, but I once had a 360 that I bought refurbished from gamestop. I played it for about 6 months then decided to trade it for some dank. as soon as the guy I gave it to plugged it in it wouldnt work. I love xbox but they made these things so shitty its unbelievable.

I don't think they were trying to mod it they were just trying to fix the red ring of death problem. basically the soldering over heated and melted down so he attempted to fix it by replacing the joints with the x clamps and was to stupid to do it correctly.

I would have to know the exact problem of the xbox. Ive never had to drill anything.
If you don't trust yourself you cans end it to http://www.360-pros.com/%28X%281%29S%28vsklvpz2mo0naprixqsjzi45%29%29/xbox-360-repair-service.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
It will cost anywhere from 60 to $90 no more and that includes shipping. Plus they will have it back in a matter of days.

Can you post pics?
I suggest going through the tutorial on fixing an rrod step by step(not that towel trick shit) They might have been stupid enough to destroy it in the process for you to repair.
He probably did the towel trick which lets it run for a period of time and then rrods again till its shit. Over time the non rrod period gets shorter and shorter. Once he ahd it temporarily running he let you play.

yah prolly because its had about 200 people on ebay try to fix it and been resold, and then another couple hundred times on craigslist, and prolly been sent in to microsoft to be fixed about 10 times, your lucky number 402 but got sold at working condition for 3x as much as it was worth. Broken xboxs go for $40

you could give it a go at least once i guess, worth a shot if it turned on once.
When i would do is stick the heatsink's in the freezer for a couple hours, then slap them on real quick and see if it works. Then turn it off real quick due to condensation, leave the top uncovered so you can watch it, if you see any drops unplug asap and let dry for 72 hours. Ive never tried this before but it sounds like a decent plan considering what your working with
Then if it worked, then you know its a heating issue, next i would strap some watercooling on the bitch and be done with it.
If all that fails, then i would sell it for scraps...assuming the dvd drive works and is the original All the parts sold seperate and in working condition should net you about $40-$50 i guess, dvd drive is worth about $20, powerblock $5-10, controllers, etc. Altho i believe with the dvd drive you have to unlock it first which requires your xbox to work, so that might be a no go on that sale.

you could try replacing the heatsink paste or just go through the proper steps for a full rrod repair so you make sure to not miss anything. Or just send it to the site I suggested. They will tell you if they cant repair it before charging you.

Isn't a proper rrod fix mainly just replacing the heatpaste and getting rid of the x clamps?

i think its the paste and changing the x clamps with better ones or something along those lines
The reason it RROD is due to heat, due to the heatsink being fucked up. The problem is the heat can also damage the board as well. Thats why i suggest doing a freeze, its a quick test to rule out a motherboard fried.
You can easily do the fixes at home, just like the website you were referred to, just do a search on youtube, there's got to be a ton of walkthroughs on there.

The thing is the time it lasts before crashing varies... so I'm unsure the freeze test will work because it can potentially play games for 10 minutes

sounds like it could just be a heat issue then, i wouldn't use it anymore until you fix it. Sounds like it can potentially be fixed. Altho there is still a chance this is related to a partially fried chip
The freeze test would prolly be a bad idea then since you would have to run it for a while to find out if it improves, and by then you could have a few drops of water and your system will really be fried then
Get you some good thermalpaste like artic silver, make sure you don't get the permenant bonding kind tho, otherwise you'll never get the heatsink off

if your talking about swapping it at gamestop or something, they'd prolly catch you. Pretty sure walmart cards you when you do returns. Plus it screws over the buisnesses that really arn't at fault for this. plus some little kid could end up with it on there birthday or something

video games are bad ass today dudes
how'd you end up fixing it? penny trick?
and you have to do the towel trick to reset the xbox or else the xbox thinks its still broken every time it gets turned on. i know someone said the towel trick was dumb

I did the penny thing as well as replace the x-clamp using llama's tutorial.
Did not do the towel trick or overheat it
