A quick Google search reveals this is a common and serious problem. There appear to be ways to fix this if you know what you are doing. One shop has quoted me £60 (about US$100) to fix it. One shop said just throw it away and buy a new one as any fix will likely last just 6 months.
So, my question is, what would you do? I don't have a lot of spare cash (who does?) so need to decide carefully. Looks like I could pick up a new Xbox 360 4GB Arcade Console for £130.
Thanks for your thoughts ...

Yeah, as Kupsised said they have a three year warranty on RROD, if your manufacture date is in that time then it's a free repair.
