by fixing it u mean buying a new one and switching out the insides and returning the new one with the old inside for a full refund?
Nope, Microsoft uses a cheap compound to Adhere the CPU's & Heatsink to the board. It needs to be cleaned off with Alcohol and then re-applied. Then drill some holes through the frame of the 360 then remove x-clamps. then place bolts, washer, and nuts through the board slots then into the case. Also recommend purchasing the whisper fan, and having an intercooler. to prevent future issues.

You can do a temporary fix, but its not guaranteed. Wrap the 360 in 2 towels and turn it on for about 20 mins. Then it should work for a bit.
Thats the dumbest idea in the world. You will pretty much guarantee that it will not work for much longer.
