Step one - remove the cover using a special XBOX360 cover removing tool that you can buy online.
Step two - remove the interior metal shielding exposing the main CPU, DVD drive, and other electronic components.
Step three - carefully disconnect the DVD drive.
Step four - place the individual components of the RROD 360 into individually labeled plastic (or paper, your choice) bags and set them aside for later.
Step four - go out and buy a new XBOX360 slim, take it home, hook it up and restore your account.
Step five - take the individually labeled plastic bags containing your RROD 360 components to your local electronics recycle center.
Step six - go home and play with your new XBOX360 slim.

This is what I did:
-Removed the two heatsinks
-Cleaned them to a mirror-like finish
-Bought some thermal paste, new brass screws and washers
-Screwed it back together, which took a bit of work
-Played a game on it
-Left it sit dormant for months afterwards
-Considered selling it
-Decided to give it as a gift

I put up my old xbox 360 which had the RROD on it up for free.. a college kid in burlington vermont (about a hour away) wanted it. and i was up there for another reason too so its not like i wasted a bunch of gas just to give this kid a xbox. Keep in mind i put free on the ad....
The kid gave me 20 bucks for my trouble. I was like "sweet!"
Yes. I was obviously being facetious.
If you can "repair" a RROD, don't throw the system out ... but know that it's on borrowed time.
There are plenty of DIY techniques to "repair" a RROD, however to the best of my knowledge they're all temporary as the design flaws which contribute to/cause a RROD will always eventually supersede in the long-term any corrective measures that the user employs.
I still think investing in a slim is the best way to go if you want to "fix" a RROD situation.
