my XBOX has three flashing lights, which apperantly means that the heat sink has come off the CPU. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am looking for instructions and the internet if full of " $15 and I will tell you how sites", but I am hoping someone here ca tell me how to fix it.

its trashed you give it to me for 10 bucks...lol just kidding, honestly look on craigslist there are a bunch of people that fix those things
 
did you buy it new?

microsoft extended the warranty for heat related failures.....takes a little while to get back though.

If you bought in used, just keep plugging around the internet for a fix you like.

+1 Mine wasn't gone but 2 weeks and Microsoft paid for shipping both ways and gave me a free month or two of Live for my troubles.

x2 Give them a call. Every one I have heard of this happening to has gotten it fixed free and gotten an xbox live card taped to the machine when it returned!
 
mine had the "three rings of death" also. Shoot MS a message and they will fix it. takes 2-3 weeks. mine was OLD...one of the first 360's when they came out and they still fixed it.
