I've fixed these before, I can do the 12v fan mod, firmware flash so it plays burnt games, fix no video issue. If it's the rrod you need to try whats called the X-Clamp mod.
Also on the console if you hold down the controller sync button on the front of the 360 console and hit the dvd eject button the rings will light up red. If you does this 4 times it gives you a 4 digit error code that you can look up and see whats wrong. The most common errors are the E74 and 0102 (RROD). I have list of the error codes if any wants it just let me know and I will post them.
Key for blinking lights
1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 0

Well at work and got bord because there is nothing going on so here is the post for the info:
Determining the Xbox 360 Red Ring Of Death Problem
Depending on the severity of the problem, a different number of quadrants could be
flashing red when you boot up your broken Xbox 360. Here’s your guide on what you
need to do to figure out what’s wrong with it.
First off, you’re either going to need the capability of remembering 4 digits, or you’re
going to have to go get a pen and paper.
While your Xbox Ring of Light (RoL) is flashing red, press and hold the synch button
(the controller connect button) and while holding it, press the DVD eject button. This
will put the Ring of Light (RoL) into a faster blink and the number of lit quadrants may
change. This process will need to be repeated 4 times (hence the need for the pen and
paper). Each time your press the synch and DVD eject button simultaneously, write down
the appropriate number from the following table:
RoL Flashing Light Codes
One Light Flashing
1
Two Lights Flashing
2
Three Lights Flashing
3
Four Lights Flashing
0
Here’s an example:
1. Turn on your Xbox360 and wait for the red lights.
2. Press and hold the synch button, then press the DVD eject button - if all 4 lights
flash, write down “0″ and repeat this 3 more times.
3. Press and hold the synch button, then press the DVD eject button - 1 light flashes,
write down “1″ and repeat this 2 more times.
4. Press and hold the synch button, then press the DVD eject button - all 4 lights flash,
write down “0″ and repeat this 1 more time.
5. Press and hold the synch button, then press the DVD eject button - 2 lights flash,
write down “2″.
6. Now you’ve got your error code: “0102″
0001 power supply problem
0002 Network Interface problem
0003 Power problem could be the PSU could be the GPU/CPU, somehow the console
isn't getting clean power from the power supply.
0010 There is a problem with the Southbridge Chip usually dealing with how it connects
to the mainboard (cold solder joint/bridged solder joints)
0011 CPU over heating - If you are receiving this error after disassembling your console
make sure to all 8 of the heatsinc screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink
holes.
0012 GPU over heating -ensure your x-clamps are installed properly.
0013 RAM over heating
0020 GPU Malfunction, similar to error 0102
0021 This can be caused by two completely different things either:joints/bridged solder joints). This can also be triggered by an error with the TSOP.
0023 (not yet known)
0030 Problem with temperature control
0031 (not yet known)
0032 (not yet known)
0033 (not yet known)
0100 (not yet known)
0101 (not yet known)
0102 Error in the "Digital Backbone" (CPU/GPU/RAM), this is usually caused by a cold
solder joint between the GPU and the mainboard.
There are two theories to fixing this one deals with the "X" clamps that hold down the
chips. The other involves re-Heating the chips. DO NOT attempt either of these if your
console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to
the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced.
0103 GPU Error this is usually caused by bridged solder points where the GPU connects
to the mainboard. see error 0102 for more detailed information
0110 Ram error, this is caused by a cold or bridged solder joint on one of the Ram chips
0200 (not yet known)
0203 over heating GPU possibly due to lack of thermal compound.
1000 Kernel can't be launched/signature in NAND Flash chip is broken! It could be
possible after bad update. This might also be caused by a bad SATA cable.
1001 DVD Drive Error, either incorrect firmware or DVD Time out.
1002 DVD Drive Error, likely a firmware error, drive can eject, read, and write under
windows but errors on console, replacing original firmware should fix issue.
1003 Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem
with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing
without it
1010 Hard Drive Error, Can be caused buy a corrupt or missing eProm. See also E68
above
1011 (not yet known)
1012 (not yet known)
1013 (not yet known) possibly a dashboard update error
1020 (not yet known)
1021 (not yet known)
1022 There is high chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip near
the AV cable connection) it can also be caused by a faulty AV cable so check that first. In
some cases it is a problem with the GPU and may be repairable by doing the x-clamp
replacement (see error 0102)
1023 DVD drive not connected, connect DVD drive to boot
1030 This error deals with the Ethernet port's controller chip, a dead chip may not cause
the error but removing the Ethernet controller chip does, it may also be caused by other
Ethernet related problems.
1031 This error is for power problems with the RAM chips. It might be cause by a short
between the heat sink and resistors or by more serious problems with the RAM.
1032 (not yet known)
1033 it could be cpu/gpu related or it could be psu related, not much info is known for
sure.
1100 Wrong LDV version in NAND Flash. This is in new dashboard. You have the
update but haven't R3T6 resistor. You can:
-Downgrade to old dashboard, solder back the resistor and then update your xbox
-If you have CPU Key, get current NAND Flash image and fix LDV (just add 1 up to
latest kernel). (see error E80)
* Literally means the console does not know what is wrong. Possibly a short or cold
solder joint somewhere (2 reports of people repairing this, one was removing
moisture build up inside the console, the other used a hot-air rework to reflow the
BGA Ram chips)
** It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal
connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it
*** There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. (could also
be a problem with the encoder chip)
A. DVD Drive Time out - Can be caused by problems with a firmware flash. This is also
speculated to sometime be caused by a problem with the southbridge chipset on the
motherboard based on how it connects to the DVD drive.
B. GPU error, generally caused by a poor connection to the mainboard (cold solder
joints/bridged solder joints) See error 102 for more information
0022 CPU error, generally caused by a poor connection to the mainboard (cold solder

The 360 interface is laggy as hell now. Has been really since the NXE update.

I agree, but the games are not and that's what really counts.
PS: My 360 red ringed last week. :thumbdown

Depends on the game. Look at any game on the Unreal Engine not named Gears of War and you'll see horrible texture pop-in issues. Mass Effect and Last Remnant are great examples of it. There's always the ridiculous amount of lag that's been popping up on Left4Dead over the past two weeks. I still fail to see how I played a game for months with no problems, but now I along with half of Xbox Live is having 1 red bar ping status, and intermittent lag issues every game. Though, I'm willing to blame that on Valve, as I'm not having that ping status with any other games.
Both systems have their flaws. Sony just failed to gain a foothold soon enough. That's what you get for holding off your new system for 1+ years after the release of the 360.
