Can I fix the Xbox 360 “Red Ring of Death” myself?

Question

I've heard of kits that can fix your Xbox 360 if you happen to get the Red Ring of Death. Do any of these work, and do they void your warranty? Are there any other noteworthy tips or tricks?

Answer

It voids your warranty if you open up the console. I've tried fixing an Xbox 360 myself by doing the X-Clmap replacement but that fix only lasted about 8 months before it red ringed again. Since Microsoft paid 1.5 billion dollars for you to have a 3 year warranty for your Xbox 360, you should just have them fix it for you for free. That is, assuming you've had this Xbox 360 less than 3 years.
