How easy is it to repair the 3 RROD and is it a permnament fix?

Sent my 360 to Germany via MS to have the RROD repaired.
After waiting 2 weeks Ive just had it delivered only to find out that they havent repaired it as the sticker was removed.

WARRENTY VOID!

I did remove the case to get to the inside and see if I could fix it and then I found out that MS extended the RROD warranty to 3 yrs. My Xbox is 2 years old.

So,....Does the RROD clamps really work or am I looking at a new Elite with HDMI?

I X-Clamped my RROD 360 and it worked again, only for just over 3 weeks though. Other people have had a lot more success with it.
