So after 10 years my 360 got the red ring of death. It was a good run. I is the console totally useless now or is there something salvageable ?

Wow, haven't seen one of those in a while. IIRC from my teen years, there was some trick involving wrapping it in a towel and letting it overheat. I believe that the issue was caused by overheating and the heatsinks becoming malformed - and heating the bitch up again sometimes moved it back into position. Sure, the logic isn't all there, but what have you got to lose?

Or you could just order the fix kit:

Or, and hear me out, you could join us in this decade :
