Just happend for the first time to me, gutter 
wanted to play the fifa 10 demo today aswell! luckily im back in school on monday and out all tomorow and most of day after so wont miss it for a while.
Question time:
1. What is microsoft's position atm? do they repair them all for free? I heard they extend the warranty for 3 years to cover the 3 red lights? Im not sure how old mine is.. i bought it second hand in 06 so it could well be out of warranty by now
2. If the warranty wont be any help what can i do? Looked at lots of videos on youtube, all slagging each other off etc. What actually works? The towel trick? the penny heatspreaders? Tightening the x clamps? replacing the x clamps with ordinary screws? I'll have to wait for a response from microsoft as to weather they can fix it (without me paying more than, say, £50) as i dont want to remove the seal to find out they'll do it free
