I don't have the security bits, and the website which I ordered everything to fix the RRoD costs quite a bit for delivery, and has the security bits for a good price... Ah well, if I need the security bits, I just pop down to Maplin.  Last edited by Noupoi; 08-17-2008 at 05:44 AM. | ||||||

And buying those RROD kits online isn't a great idea, you pay more and sometimes don't get high-quality thermal paste like AS5. You can get the screws and bolts at a hardware store for like $4, the thermal paste and ArctiClean (not required but a good idea, I use it for RROD fixes) from newegg for $10 and a Torx screw set that has sizes T5-T15 from Home Depot or Lowes for $5. | ||||||
