im about to open and try my first one tommorow morning and see what it all looks like up close but the cold solder on the micros seems to be the biggest problem! this looks to be a solder pad ic and not the traditional pin chip! the heat gun would prob be the best bet since the unit is not powered on and the micro is not burning itself out decreasing longevity! using a heat gun will prob give you the longest results IMO. i will update when finished with results.

I used 99% isopropanol alcohol and it seems to work fine. My xbox keeps burning out though. This is the 3rd time in less than 2 months I’ve had to redo it.

thinner is prob the best to clean off the old compound or goo and wont damage the board! you can use alcohol after if desired with q-tip. if you have a small paint brush or (acid brush) that would work well with cleaning!

oh sorry my bad, umm i just went to radio shack and got a tube of thermal heat paste, the brand was nexxtech i think, just ask a clerk its like 5 bucks tops. but a very small amount on the chips and spread it over the chip. make sure you dont put to much on or it will just smuther the chip and over heat almost instantly.

i just used goo gone and it was clean in like 2 seconds, but after you use it make sure you get a slightly damp kleenex and wipe it, then dry it with another piece of kleenex as the goo gone will leave an oily surface.
