Its dead mate. And if its older than 1 years old Ms wont cover it under warrenty.
Mine did it. I tried everything. Xclamp, towl trick. I even tried to overheat it so it got 3 red lights but it just keeps switching off.
I think the main GPU dies.
Sorry Bud. -
update on my issue i took off the clamp and the big heatsink put new paste on it reattached the heatsink and clamp and no more red lights but i now have no video output. i know the lead is fine because it works on my other xbox could it be the other chip under the other heatsink?Comment

This is a graphics chip problem as mention above mate.
Chip is probably damaged.

a proper reflow might fix it.
the original problem is the heatsinks not sitting on the chips right (the thermal paste goes brittle).
thats why when u took the heatsink off the cpu and renewed the paste it worked.
your new problem now is the gpu thats at fault.Comment
