What was involved to fix the rrod out of curiosity ? I had it happen 2 times. After the second time it was out of warrenty so i just bailed and got a ps3 instead, as it had free online at the time too.

Most of the time, it was just a thermal shutdown and needed to be reset in the BIOS. Other common fixes were just replacing capacitors or resoldering some bits that got a little too hot and came loose.
