I'd honestly say leave it as is.
If you 're keen on reverting the mod, you'll have to snip the fan leads from the DVD drive leads and solder everything back to the original place.
There's a chance the previous owner ditched the fan plug, making it harder to restore it.

do you mean the ones that go to the heatsinks? that's where the x clamps should've been iirc.
What godreborn said.
I'd honestly trash it, washers and bolts put way to much uneven tension on the board, microscopicly warping it and putting the BGA under strain.
If it's all working fine then I'd say leave it as is.
The machine likely suffered from a cold solder joint and the gamestop pillocks quickly mended it to flog it off.
not unless you know how that fan mod is installed. I've installed new fans in a xenon, didn't help it last. however, it was just in the same connector as the normal fans, so it was a very easy swap out.

btw, the system does look pretty dirty based on that pic. the fan shroud looks disgusting. lol, like the person who owned it smoked or something. it looks like tar on it.

So I should replace the fans? also I don’t think my friend smokes I think it was enclosed area for a long time, he said he had it for 6 years
Gamestop always uses this fan mod/bolts on any 360 they service
It's a solid motherboard, I would replace the fan with a stock 3 pin then swap the bolts with xclamps - that's just going to break the console for a repair that likely was something different

it's better to use nylon washers than bolts. I'm not sure if bolts is what they originally used (probably), as I've always bought 360s used. and, the xclamps had been removed from all of them.

@SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary

@Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female. -
