We all know about the 3 year warranty, but perhaps you have a fear of cardboard boxes. Maybe you live in Japan and have a broken USA Xbox 360. This technique can keep your 360 going until the new HDMI 65nm models have saturated retail.

the worked 4 me but does any1 no how to fix th xbox if the screen is all black but u can hear the sound? ive had the xbox since christmas n had the ring of death problem at least 50 times lol but never thins help any1=(???

omg ur vin deisel lol
LMAO! its so stupid to pay $60 for a game when you can just get any console game for free. I download all my games at fcgd . tk HAHA. All u have to do is this *** survey and u can lie on it.
he moved the towels probalbly changed the xbox with a working one but im about to get one im going to but it in my room and my house is all ways very cold so i hope i dont get the 3 ass’s of death lol
ahahahhaha
it actually worked
maybe at some point during the 20 min he just checked to see how hot it was.
Mr. Clean
wow…..during the first time lapse if you look at the towels around the xbox before the 20 minutes of heating it up, then look at it after, it has been moved. That means that during the lapse the towels were moved, or possibly the xbox was exchanged for a working one.
Ummm There’s Nothing you can do to avoid it. I keep my xbox in my basement where its ALWAYS nice and cool It lasted for 3 years then i got The red rings of death. Lmao you cant avoid it
this does really work
little tip dude dont put your 360 standing up thats one of the ways u could get the red ring of death another way is by using the intercooler makes it worse 2
wash my ass
Good thing i had this guy to watch while cooking my 360.
Cause, SUPPOSEDLY cheap *** gamers, get 2 broken consoles of from each supplier?
He’s likely got a PS3 and Wii wrapped in a towel as we speak.
Unless you CAN’T send your 360 in to MS for some reason, you really should.
I tried this once, and it helped for a week. After that, it E74d. I sent it into MS and got it back in 2 weeks.
They didn’t even notice (or care) that I tricked it.
its not from not taking care of your xbox retard.
good one
i think hes cool but he has wierd eyes
The towel trick actually makes it worse, because the xbox get the red rings because the heat sink is too hat, so making it hotter makes it much worse
people don’t choose to get the fucking red lights do they? it just happens.
hmm… quick question… Y cant people just protect their xbox 360 and take care of it?
y not just NOT get the red rings in the first place… seriously…
