Despite replacing thermal paste, red dot of death still persists.
Hi. I've taken out the heatsink, cleaned out the dried up thermal paste on the CPU/GPU and bottom of heatsink, and coated it with a fresh new coat of thermal paste. I then reassembled the heatsink and fan and did the overheat reset thing. After leaving it to cool completely, I started it up again. No luck. Still got the solid red dot. I've done this twice already. I should mention that the light only goes red when connected to an HDMI cable, I've tried a couple of other cables. The HDMI is not the problem. I got a couple of videos to help illustrate my problem.
Here's the xbox starting up w/o the HDMI in.
Here's the boot up with the HDMI in.
Help me, please! I'm losing hope. Got a lot invested in the old thing.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Pocholo Dela Cruz, explain this "and did the overheat reset thing." I think I know what you did, but want to make sure. You do know that that is not a fix at all, right?

what are you talking about oldturkey? overheating your xbox with a towel is how all the pros do the reflows haha

Yup, that is what I am afraid off. The old "reflow under the towel" trick....

Actually, I didn't do the towel trick. I just unplugged the fan and let the console run until the LED blinked red, the automatic shutoff that the slims have.
