Well he may be underage too and can't give his address out perhaps. Only reason I could see passing up a free solution to a problem.

i ordered a kit of ebay and hope for it next week sometime
i was watching a video on youtube about the penny trick. so i was thinking of doing that trick with the xclamp fix
would that be a good idea?

I would avoid the penny thing. I've seen videos and they don't seem neither professional or reliable.

i wouldnt mess with the xclamp fix. i would find someone on craigslist that does reflowing. i picked up a cheap 360 that had video problems and had it reflowed, its been working almost a year with no problems at all.
I hate to tell you but if you open it up to your obvious surprise it will have the xclamp mod done to it. Reflow is just a fancy way of saying that they did the xclamp fix and let the system run till it overheats to remelt the solder so that it is positioned in the rite place on the chips and board. So just letting you know before you contradict yourself again
And also the penny trick is not such a good idea. Plus that trick would only be relevant if your xboxes error code is suggesting problems with the ram chips. The penny trick normally damages your systems ram chips in the long run by flattening them so much against the board that they fry.
the penny trick works for a good bit of time, eventually the clamp would give way but nothing a little bending would not help.
I doubt there are many people on craigslist that can do a solder reflow. i would venture to guess it not more then a hairdryer job.
by the way i removed reballed the xbox chips when the problems first occurred years back, you can look under xboxscene under same name for more info. you only put the board in the oven to get the temp up equally so you dont warp it but you need a special ($$$) machine to remove reinstall the chip ( i used one by called sniper) and you need another one to re-ball.
lets say that i sent my 360 to microsoft. what do that do to fix the problem?
