any idea how to get the stucked screw on the GPU heatsink? I think my last choice will be........ sending it to some workshop who can drill the screw hole.......... the hexagon part on the screw is already because rounded..... Damn it.... I got 7/8 off from the heatsink and only this stupid screw keep sticking on the heatsink... I guess it sure love the heatsink and dont wanna get away from the heatsink. My hand is damn sakit.... I was working on it whole day while watching jap drama... LOL

QUOTE(-= Virgil =- @ Sep 15 2007, 09:42 AM) Stuck up screw on the heatsink? Easy, just drill it out! At least that is what i did  yeah yeah, I am thinking of drill it out next...... before i go and buy the heatsink from USA... Anyone of you have the new heatsink which come with heatpipe? Ar.....

I was thinking of getting this new GPU Heatsink. http://cgi.ebay.com/Xbox-360-Gpu-Heatsink-...1QQcmdZViewItembut when its price go over USD40.00, it seems like ridiculas for me to get one. So, I just go for the cheap one which is only USD3.99.

Yeah Finally i got the stucked screw taken off by asking my uncle who work in metal melting work shop to melt a metal on the screw. Once it is in one piece..... easy for me to take on. My Xbox360 now working flawlessly now!! Yeah, i would like to help others to mod this for money since this mod is cheap and easy! What is the market price for doing this? I am staying in penang.....
