Wikipedia can say what it likes. I repair RROD Xbox 360s and can tell you straight it's always down to the solder. Everyone who repairs Xbox 360s knows this, you've heard of "reballing" right. It's a solder term and term that goes hand in hand with the Xbox 360. Basically the console PCB bends due to heating and cooling down, solder cracks. End of strory.

It's not speculation.

Yea I am aware of solder considering I used to be a BGA and ECN tech at Flextronics.   Apparently, they didn't run enough "real world" test to see that the PCB bends.  There were obvious design flaws in the first generation of 360s that they finally fixed.  Didn't the Jasper chips pretty much eliminate the RROD or drastically reduce it once they came out?
