    How to fix RROD on xbox

    THIS IS REAL


    simply get 4 towels unplug the harddrive. take the cd/game out of console. rap the 4 towels around the console and start it up let it run for 15-20 minutes. let it overheat it will either shut off by its self or just unplug after 20 minutes. when the system over heats it resolders the solders in the console.

    How to fix RROD on xbox

    I highly doubt it, when I had the RROD I took it in and it is to do with a few parts that overheat and just die, therefore rapping "Wet Towels" around your xbox will not make it work again.

    && Where did you get this from..?

    Not everyone lives as close to Microsoft as you do.

    I'm pretty sure this does work - My friend used a different method using safety pins I believe, not sure on the details of what he did though lol.

    Be careful when using this!!!!

    It does fix your xbox, but only temporarily! In the long run, it will cause more harm than good. If would heavily reccomend not doing this if you want to fix your 360.

    Sure, that will solder your connector back, but it overheats the entire thing and will most likely destroy your Xbox anyway. Why not just take a soldering gun and solder it back yourself? It's just as easy as stuffing a few towels into your Xbox, it has a better chance of it working afterward, AND it won't fry your 360. The towel method is such a dumb method.

    Actually, here is a better way.

    Yes it does work, when mine "Red Ringed" i called Microsoft immediately, and had to wait for the shipping and stuff. During the wait i used the towel trick.
    It lets your XBox work for around 8 hours, and then it messes up again. I recommend only doing this 1 or 2 times, because if you do it too much it can cause fatal damage to the XBox, and Microsoft will not fix it because it won't be under the warranty.
