There are "fixes" on youtube, but they will most likely void your warranty... I'd just send it in to Microsoft for a free repair.

You can either do the towel trick and potentially void your warranty for a few more hours of gameplay or suck it up and send it in.

I fixed mine for $5. Just needed two 'X' clamps on the bottom of the motherboard to let air go through. About a 30 minute job...been running like a champ for over a year now. Good luck!

That sux, i sent mine in for repair when that happened and they sent me a brand new one with an extra hard drive on it, i traded the HD for a new game at gamestop and my Xbox worked again, that was three years ago and its still going strong...

If it's less than THREE years old, just send it in. Mine only took a week and a half to get back. They send you a 1 month LIVE card back with it too.
I turned around and sold mine that night and finally bought a PS3. :D
