Reflow or a reball which are in my opinion not worth the cost considering you can get a second hand 360 now days for peanuts either on gumtree or ebay.

Free but usually temp fix is the wrap in a towel and put in low oven trick
Various methods of doing this if you have a quick google.

From wrapping entire console in a towel and baking in oven for 20 mins (which I have successfully done) to stripping the entire console apart and just putting motherboard in oven at much higher temp for 5 mins.

It is basically a crude reflow and often results are temp although in my case it lasted till I upgraded to a slim and is now sitting in a cupboard as a backup.. others report it fixing perm as well.

Best google temperature others have used though as I can't remember.

Temp fix would be the circular motion heat gun trick 10" distant approx. on the gpu and surrounding chips for a few mins. DONT MOVE the console let it cool ...It`s a quick fix ...and may last a week ....month ??? but in all honest..... it will return eventually.
