360 dying

Looks like my 360 is on the way out, I just got a total graphics failure, no video at all but no red ring. From what I am reading this is not covered under the extended warranty and as I bought the 360 when Oblivion was released (early 2006) I'm a bit screwed

People recommend the towel trick and cracking it open and reseating the heat sink but my money says its just a temporary fix and it will happen again sooner or later.

I just tried it again and it seem to work so I'm tempted to go and trade it for an elite and just tell them I'm upgrading for HDMI etc.

Anyone got any idea on the trade value of an older unit?
