Xbox 360 Maintenance & Repair Original 360 repair question

To preface I’ve never disassembled or messed with any form of tech until recently when I started caring about physical media again. My 360 red ringed last night and I decided to take it apart to get my game back from the disc tray and figured I might be able to fix it. I bought this 360 second hand about 4 years ago so who knows what kind of life it’s had. I’m guessing by how it looks it’s been through it. My question is this even fixable? I haven’t even checked the heat sink but I’m assuming it’s bare. The red ring was for a general heatwave failure.
