Mike, it depends what the problem is.....obviously.
It may be dead, it may be fixable.
The most common fault of overheating the GPU can be fixed by replacing the mounting studs for the heat sinks with good old nuts N bolts.
Do some googling, look for the fault code first
http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=472553
then work from there. Ive done loads of these. Some more succesful than othere mind.
Hope that helps.

Look at the manufacture date on the back, if its within 3 years you can send it back to microsoft (collected free of charge) and they will replace it.
The microsoft 3 year extended warranty is only valid on the RROD failure. Microsoft CS can confirm via the serial number if its eligable to be
replaced if you ring them.
Obviously if its been opened up in the past and the warranty sticker looks the worst for wear then the above is a no-go 
Edit: Just caught your 4/5 year old bit in the post above so that option goes out the window then 
Cheers
G

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
