I bought 40+ xbox returns some have been sitting for 6 months. but i have some that turn on which can be expected for sitting so long but i have some that are just FULL of dust so you think if i clean it out and put the 12v fan in there it will keep working? By FULL of dust i mean covered heatsinks. If not i will reflow them but i hate to fix things that aren't broken.. but let me know watchu guys think

Return's as in faulty returns by customer's? I have had faulty console's come in and sit around then turn on and miraculously work. However it does not mean it has fixed itself. It's just over time the board can unflex slightly, but as soon as it get's warm after being on for a pro-longed period of time then the RROD will come back.

The same with some laser's that have trouble reading disc's, leave them along for a while and they have a little bit of life in them again, but again only for a short while.

Stress test the console's and see what happens
