actually i did this to my friends xbox and its still working after a couple weeks, but it broke again the other day, so i had to do it again, it works tho : D
your xbox blew up cos you did it for too long &/or insulated it too much, it does work but it's not recommended.. and it wont last very long in most cases. seriously just buy a new xbox or fix it/send it to be fixed.
yes it does because my xbox was flashing 3 red lights so i turned it of and waited for about an hour then went back on it and it was fine. my friend got 3 solid lights and when he turned it off and on again it was still 3 solid lights
mine hasn't broken yet and i've had it for 2 years aslong as you take care of it it'll be fine and get a fan to help if you want but i havn't used one, also keep stuff off of the top
depends on how much u play it because if u wanna be a low life and play all day on it sure it will happen but dont worry like other said just dont spend a long time on it
Tampering with your xbox includes using a power supply Nyko fan on the back of your system. if you use that fan Microsoft can tell because it changes a function in the xbox so that when you send it away they can tell that it's been on there and they refuse to fix it.
Morale of the store, Nyko power supply fans ruin your warranty with xbox.
i gues i'll have to try it considering microsoft didn't fix mine caouse they said i tampered with it even though i never did! i'm losing my respect for micro soft more and more, but never gaining any for sony
i don't get why every one thinks the ps3 has no problems...I.E...when your updating your ps3 and it shuts off...by itself...it's DEAD...so every who thinks the ps3 is invisible screw off
mine gets the red light all the time and it still works what you do is unplug everything take out the hard drive blow on it plug everything in and it works
Get a good computer. I had 2 bad units and got my money back. Bought a new Gateway and added a 8800 card and plays all games real good Bioshock and Halo 3 run real good and no red light problem. X Box sucks
I don't do the towel thing, fuck that.. I'd rather get a free month of xbox live... But back to the matter at hand, you got a gateway, and because of this, you are in fact a fag.
I don't think you're understanding what I'm trying to say here, I'm not comparing your GATEWAY to an Xbox, I'm saying that you're a complete fag for getting a gateway. Plus, $1,100 is NOTHING for a gaming computer.
The towel trik heats the sodder by the mother bord making it pliable again it cracks and breaks alot because of the X brackets inside the xbox putting alot of presure on the points so its just reheating the sodder and after u heat the xbox let it cool so the soder hardens [:
My 360 got the red ring two months ago, did the towel trick and works good as new, no problems at all bacause mine is strong, lol, and it is STILL working today
ive heard that if u av the ring of death then u should take all cables out except power, leave it on for 25 mins, turn it off, put all cables bk in and it should work. hope tht helped.
oh and btw dont put ur 360 on its side it will definateley break if u do that.!!
my xbox 360 has been sent for repair 3 times. Bought it in February of 2007; and it is currently being repaired this October of 2007. I'm getting worried, the one year warranty is almost up = (. It takes about a month for them to repair it.
do u have to make the towels wet or just dry?

so be careful, cause its dangerous. i lost 2 towels, a TV, and the opportunity to play HALO 3 again, now i have a ps3 and i have:
LittleBigPlanet and a bunch of other games
A LCD TV
Enough towels for my family.
A BIG smile on my face.
So don't use this trick... no, wait, use it, use it a lot and you'll be able to experience the awesomeness of a PlayStation 3.
