if so, then i feel like a moron for not bothering to even google the fix...

pretty much that simple.. Ive been doin for over a year.

When I first learned how to do it, my brother and I would buy red ringed xbox's off craigslist for $30, fix them, then sell them for $80+

Ive replaced a disc drive. A lot more work involved than just doing a RRoD. Cant just swap in a new drive. Theres a board on the drive that has a serial number in it and that number has to match up with the consol. So you have to unsolder the boards from the old and new drives and swap em. Took a bit of time.

Car Info: my wife crazy with buying parts

So I recently bought a small supply of the RRoD fix stuff and just throwing it out there. Take 1-1 1/2 hours to fix depending on if things cooperate.
$40 for the fix
