i have just started modding them and am very confident i can fix it for you if you know how to use a soldering iron i actually posted the link yesterday in my 360 controller mod thread

I've been successful with the overheating trick, but it's temporary. If yours is still under warranty, it may work long enough for you to exchange it at a gamestop for a new one.

The 3 rings is a generic hardware failure that's linked to the soldering on the CPU to the board. By overheating it you sort of reseat it, but it's only temporary. Actually soldering it back down is the way to go.

I have fixed quite a few consoles. If you want me to give it a try, let me know. I won't touch it if it's under warranty though.
