I have just finished operating bro Shumaky's 3rol console, here are a few pictures of the "cleaning old and putting fresh thermal paste" process.
Before cleaning,
^ The trick here is to use a card (namecard or your IC card
) to scrap off those big junk of thermal compound, until only the sticky blurry thin thermal are left on the chip. After that, put 1 drop of arctic thermal remover 1 onto the chip and leave it for 10 secs, clean it using a
cotton bud. Do not use a cloth to wipe it as you might scratch the surface of the chip or the heatsink, just use a q-tip will do fine. There might be some thermal sticking onto the small legs of the chips next to the GPU, just use a q-tips and the thermal remover, it will come out eventually.
After you are finally satisfied in cleaning it, the heatsink and chip should look as clean and shiny as
^ checkout the reflections of the q-tip on the chip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now its time to put on fresh thermal paste, just squeeze out a tiny "rice grain" size onto the tip of your q-tips (its easier to apply the thermal paste if its on the TIP of the q-tip).
Never use extra thermal paste once you have used that "rice grain" size amount of thermal, cause more than that, that means you are putting TOO MUCH thermal paste on it!! (stares at xxboxx
)

Finally after applying the thermal compound, it should look like this
After that just follow on the Lawdawg or RBJTech's tutorial and you should get yourself a working revived zombie xbox 360.
