It is Worth it but you could Get it for much Cheaper. I am bargaining on getting for £12 on ebay. And I am winning 4 so far. Do it but make sure no one has opened it or has tried to fix it. And Make sure it got some accessoriesfor that price. And only get Hdmi models

Jeeeez it's called a secondary error code such as 0102,0110,0022 etc. You need to hold the sync button down while pressing the eject button. You do that 4 times to get The secondary error, the lights will flash in a certain sequence. 4 flashes equal 1, 3 flashes equal 3 and so on.

Try and find out what the secondary error is before you waste money on it. If its 0102 or 0022, then those are really easy fixes.

This error is caused by a cold solder joint under the GPU, (H)ANA-chip or in between.
Mostly it is one of the outer solder balls on the side facing the (H)ANA chip so a shim increases the chanced of success quite a bit.
Can also be a component that is missing or damaged so look for missing parts near the GPU and the (H)ANA chip.
Known fixes:
1)If you soldered anything to the mainboard before it occured, whatever you are powering from this point is drawing too much power so get rid of it.Also get rid of everything that you can see that might bridge anything near the GPU.
2) X-Clamp replacement Hybrid - Tighten the GPU screws facing the HANA chip slightly more and make sure to be using a shim
2) X-Clamp replacement Hybrid - Tighten the GPU screws facing the HANA chip slightly more and make sure to be using a shim. Adding an extra shim on each side of the smaller chip dye will help to create more surface against the heatsink and will increase the chances of the error going away for good.
3) If there is a lot of flexing under the GPU, bake the board to unflex it
4) Reflowing GPU and HANA chip
This is the only way to DIY. It's not a terribly difficult task however but you do run a risk of damaging your box if you're not sure what you're doing.
Another option is to take it in for repair and fork out the cash for minimal risk.
If you decide to Do it yourself, here are some sources:

Good luck!

never mind that, you're going to offer to sell me a guide (for $7!) containing all the same info that every 360 site ever made has posted so many times that calling it redundant would be an understatement, and that I can get for free just by opening my browser and using google? will it even include all the spelling and grammar mistakes that are on the page you linked to? that might actually be worth the $7 then... /sarcasm

I'm gonna leave that obvious advert up just so that my sarcasm doesn't look unwarranted, but please no more adverts even if they are disguised as 'helpful' information, or I will drop the hammer faster than Hammer dropped the M.C....
