[TheDj0211]

right when i was going to do the towle trick my xbox started working

[XxRampage620xX]

to bad this F's up your xbox way ma=ore then it already is!



[skatabra686]

Thanks man, it worked!

[vi0l3ntJ666]

it goes to to lights at the end becuz you have the AUX cable unplugged.

[MRHACKABLE02]

This will only work for a couple of days to a month depending on the condition of your xbox i would use this if you actually want temporary fixes like me

[bham4life1203]

Cause a huge fire.

[TheFreeGameplay2012]

I know why you got red ring because you stand the xbox up not flat

[NoNameJustWords]

@TheFreeGameplay2012 I got the RROD whilst having my 360 flat.

[HisNameIsWolfe]

okay here's my story: ive had my first xbox crash due to RRoD for about 1.5 years now. when it crashed, my friend gave me his to use/keep it b/c he never used it. Just now, that xbox fell victim to RRoD. i was seriously considering filling out 2 repair forms for both consoles until i saw the price. then i went to youtube b/c i knew there would be the towel trick somewhere. Now, im plugging in my xboxes, doing the towel trick, and living a happy life. @KillerRetardz has it really been 2 years?

[NZLJace]

yea why was your lights flashing.. huh??

... FAIL

[KillerRetardz]

as soon as i got my xbox i had the 4 bars of red i turned off my xbox, unplugged all of the cords and let it cool for like an hour. And it worked and i haven't had a problem in 2 years

[monkeymadness224]

Well my xbox is magical it fixes its self after like 30 mins

[Allthingsbike]

@NoManDecco i think its just that he lives in a slum so he cant afford a camera that can sustain the same frame rate for 5 seconds

[Trotter711]

I put my death trapped X-box in 2 blankets before the fire. After about 22 minutes and letting it cool down cool down I was amazed to find that it worked and after playing Skyrim with all of that data, I was super happy!

[ooooglat]

Im gonna wanna...

[McFNEODOIL]

it worked but like 3 minutes it went back to red, help?

[thealexjt84]

DONT DO IT!!!! IT MIGHT MAKE IT WORK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BUT AFTER THAT YOUR WHOLE XBOX MOTHERBOARD WILL BE FRIDE AND WILL BE UNFIXABLE

[trameze2021]

worked



[synysterChris12]

Does this work with the one light ring? Cuz when i turn it on it does the same thing only one red light comes on and it has this screen saying "system error please contact customer support." or is that a totally different problem?

[spraypaintking]

[aleksandrovskysad]

I've actually heard that you should wait until 2 rings happen instead. It will work better

[JacobLetsPlays]

Well I got out my 360, stood it up vertically, turned it on... and it worked before even putting the towels on...... damn I'm good at the towel trick!

[weelz1414]

i just got the RROD like an hour ago. My friend told me to do this exact thing because he said he did this to a friend of his xbox and it did actually work. I'm gonna try it out. wish me luck.

[kadeem3331]

IF YU TRY THIS YOUR REALLY FUHKING DUMB

[JhOpG1DrIfTz]

@kadeem3331 i dont know how it makes people dumb. i did it about 2 years ago to my pro and it worked perfectly for another year after that so if u dont know if it works or not then STFU cos ur the one that ends up looking dumb

[brikac]

@kadeem3331 YOU should learn to spell before calling people really FUCKING dumb

[GuilTCloudy]

it does work you mongs you clearly are not doing it rright

[moeabbasify]

some bullshit that doesnt work you dumb motherfucker

[AkAddictViRuz1]

you should get the new xbox it won't get red rings!

[DinoxRawr123]

Ur gunna wanna turn it off. Huh it won't turn off. Ur gunna wanna unplug the cord. XDDD

[TheLegoking97]

@CoD4Zavera no it does'nt 

[hooishomo]

thank u soooooooo much, it worked!!! :)

[dannybond13]

[DaVeGaming4]

dumb aSS

[thodoris234]

listen i'm going now to do this trick if it works i will SUBSCRBING to you but if it doesnt work sorry :( i wont SUBSCRBE you

[dariusheatlilweezy]

this is bullshit this shit dnt work

[katy9618]

syht dont work.... fuck xbox....

[mcounts12]

@katy9618 i kno right! dats some gay shyt

[killstreak72]

damm i wuz doin wut u were doin in the video nd wen i wuz dun wrapping it up u said to take out ur harddrive and i had it wrapped up already so i left it there .u owe me a new hardrive if mine burns

[CiaranNixon]

this should wokr but is very risky because this trick is used because red ring of death is caused by the solder on the points of the console melt under heat soo wraping it in towles melts da solder more and should stick the point back on but BE CAREFUL AS YOU MIGHT DE-SOLDER UNHARMED POINTS IN THE PROCESS

[Bodchubbz]

@MrMagicman3211 nope instead people who play ps3 get hacked and get suspended for saying shit and dirty beaners who steal a ps3 can play online with their neighbors shitty connection

[therandomtv102]

@MrMagicman3211 yh and get the ylod

[The9j11k]

@MrMagicman3211 so you get an orange color, my friend got it

[T3r3nc3Th0m4s]

my balls itch,

[kid21597]

if u like ps3 so much why do u watch videos about how to fix an xbox

[89dcskater]

2:01 ......FUCK....

[ZorkkWho]

Out of Breath ?

[ZorkkWho]

@MrMagicman3211 LOL If you had Xbox your network wouldn't get hacked Xbox > PS3

[Colbio]

@MrMagicman3211 We also woundt have credit cards or a working network, so STFU

[alexthaprince102]

what do you do if you fall asleep while heating them up?

[g4m3m3di4]

@MrMagicman3211 lawl, too bad the psn has been down for weeks and is still down... haha

[COLT45LOCO]

@dragonflamer103 that cant fix all RROD they are 4 RROD it can fix 3 of the 4 for a little bit but the 1 that it cant fix is the GPU CPU and DVD:ROM on top of each other making the processor melt that you cant fix

[Lillypixie87]

@MrMagicman3211 No but you would get hacked if you had a ps3

[theSharperEnd]

This has to be the dumbest idea in human history. Pumping more heat into those IBM cpus will not help, and I doubt the skill set of a person who suggests that it does.

[madamluigi]

the towel trick

1. only works for five min's

2.it hurting your xbox 360

i asked microsoft

[OmgItsDrPepper1243]

@madamluigi microsoft could just be saying that to scam and get more money, but you never know

[wusgooood]

how many times did this kid say..."you're gonna wanna"?

[yourabigwinner]

@Thewizfreakz It HAS to overheat. What you are doing is basically Resetting the chips inside the xbox by overheating it. When you pull the xbox out of the 3 towels, it should ALWAYS be flashing 2 red lights no matter if it was an E74 error or RODD. If it isnt 2 when u pull it out, then put it back in and let it bake more.

[666chaos7]

its pretty neat but its only temporary, my xbox red ringed again shortly after. dont get your hopes up.

[Petyusha85]

Thanks fo fastforwarding all the crap.

[TheDoyle97]

@MrMagicman3211

actually i just got the yellow light of death on PS3

[LegionUnknown]

the red ring happend while i was pwning on Black Ops online :(

[Petyusha85]

@LegionUnknown Black ops suck MW2 4EVA!!

[KelliroxxoTV]

@LegionUnknown sameeee :(

[orangebananaman12]

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much my xbox was broken and it literally took 50 minutes to fix

[Azamatgagkaev1990]

i have alot of space where it is .

[TheMicOnFire666]

it works, i just tryed it and like you said, it's like new and its a good choise to people who dont have the money or time or the warrenty still on it... to fix it.

[ThiefOfMovies]

@MrMagicman3211 yeah but the thing here is : the new JASPER version doesnt get ROD and it overcomes ALOT of the problems PSN has the LIVE dont...

[jvg1001]

@MrMagicman3211 hey stupid yes it does its just not called rrod and obviously not 3 rings

[Brizo0505]

He sounds like Chris Griffin.

[Brizo0505]

He sounds like Chris Griffin.

[8MRD8]

it doesnt wnana turn on cuz you fucking broke it. thats not how you fix it, it works for a day and then you have to do this towel "trick" again. use the silicoln heat paste and that works. this is utter shit.

[sk8998899]

ur an idiot 2 rings ment it over heated and you cant turn it off with 2 rings u need to unplug the cable... lmao

[dukesey100]

don't do what it says the red ring stops appearing for 3 or 4 hours but then it appears again but this time it makes the xbox even worse

[BL4CKR4MP4GE]

@MrMagicman3211

not ture my brother got messed up

[PurplePathProduction]

I turned this video off half way in and my harddrive is now fucked, thanks Technologichelp Thanks alot! (run out of basement crying)

[dginos3]

Grab your xbox.

turn it on.

wrap it in a towel.

let it run till it over heats.

let it cool.

Play.

Now you dont have to waste 5 min watching this

[MrMagicman3211]

i ws giving my opinion relax

[gibran800]

@MrMagicman3211

but you wouldnt be able to fix the fucking YLOD, would you? jackass

[LukssDragon]

@MrMagicman3211 Does anybody asked for your oppinion ? ok , so shovel the ps3 on your big fucked ass

[whatismyname8]

2:00 minutes in the video then you tell us to take off thehard drive

[randallclark100]

hey retard leave ur xbox laying down not standing up cause it will fuck up the discs

[b00lman]

@randallclark100 no it wont fuckhead

[dginos3]

@b00lman yeah it scratches the disks

[ZeratheWolf]

@b00lman Yes it will fuchead. >.> He was right. sometimes if it's sideway's the disk could easily fall down into the box. It happene to me once.

[metroid478]

@MrMagicman3211 i mean yellow light sorry

[metroid478]

@MrMagicman3211 ur right, u get the stupid red light instead, and that is more of a fucking problem

[metroid478]

@MrMagicman3211 its actually 3 red lights equals hardware problem.

[MrMagicman3211]

@metroid478 and ur telling me this becuase???

[MrItachi444]

thanks for telling me to remove the HDD after the half an hour. the red ring is gone. but I need a new HDD. I'm polish, didn't want tp fuck it up worse, and paused the video after each step. to follow each step correctly. with my PS3 I don't have ossues like this. I'm done here. going to make a vid beating my 360 with a baseball bat.

your's always, a standard troll in his mother's basement.

TEE-HEE!

[OllyGreen1]

ps3 are nothing to the x box

[TheChrisc45]

ok ya i have both i play the hell out of my playstation and i did the towl trick and it didnt work so will i need to send it in to microsoft

[peacenotwar500]

@MrMagicman3211 Or you could be like me, get both, and play the fuck out of both of 'em :)

[metroid478]

@peacenotwar500 why play the fuck out of em? u have no life and ur increasing ur chances of the RROD and the stupid yellow light on the ps3

[peacenotwar500]

@metroid478 First of all, what the fuck are you trying to say. You're comments are all damn near impossible to fucking read. Second of all, learn to spell dipshit. Seriously it is not that hard, I am no scholar I'm a dumbass, but spelling goes a long way. Yes if "ur" wondering I am a grammer nazi.

P.s Can you resend this comment in proper English.

[Protaganist]

@MrMagicman3211 You're right MrMagicMan3211. Your PS3 wouldn't warn you it was destroying itself from the inside. It would just catch on fire. Like it did when it was released. Good one.

[hiwhatsupbro]

thanks so much, it worked!!!

[tasteofcoda]

@MrMagicman3211 however if you got a ps3 you would have a) shit online play b)shit unique games (other than gt) and c)a lot more debt cos it's a rip off

[MrMagicman3211]

@tasteofcoda how on earth do u get ripped off u guys have 2 pay for online have a way bigger chance of failure and we have a blue ray player ps move in 3d and we gots kevin butler lol so u are the idiot and the only game that i wish ps3 had was halo and even that is a game that is getting boring. and our online is just as good as ur xbox and it doesnt matter of game system it matters how good ur connection is.

[konkrete19]

@MrMagicman3211 so you went on a xbox video just to talk shit and say how ps3 is better? wow what a fucking loser, someone has too much time on their hands

[FahimRecords]

@MrMagicman3211 yes it does bro buhh you got yellow light

[TehMCR]

That final step is the hardest...

[hoebinger]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[overangel11]

That is not the red ring that is only 3 the red ring of death is 4 red lights

[tasteofcoda]

@overangel11 3 is most common though

[Noah414]

thats why you just buy the new xbox it doesnt happen with it

[PunkBoiiJovan]

this worked for me for about 10 minutes, then i went back the red ring, wtf happened?

[tasteofcoda]

@PunkBoiiJovan I had my xbox swap between working normally and the red ring for a while until it eventually just stayed with the red ring

[jggammer]

@MrMagicman3211 noooooooo really that is why we have ps3's

[CMT2696]

I know the towel trick is a temporary fix but can you make it a permanent fix by modding the case to keep it cool after the trick?

[Boneslayne]

YOU ARE AWSOME...WHEN I GET MY XBOX...I SEE THE RED RING.. I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!!!!!!

[taco60000]

thats the ghetto way to fix it!

[harryb325]

@MrMagicman3211 ps3 gets yellow light of death so yeah and its no cureable light the red ring so suck u ps3 fan boy

[MrMagicman3211]

@harryb325 hey retard the yellow ring has a 6% chance of happening with your ps3 ans according to many websites xbox has around 51% red ring so shut the hell up and get your facts right idiot

[harryb325]

@MrMagicman3211 acctually on july 6th in 2009 the red ring was completely eliminated so any consoles boughts after tht time are immune to red ring i had my xbox on for 37 hours while i downloaded lots of stuff and it was fine yes the chances are minimal of the ps3 malfunctioning but due to the updates to the xbox it has 0% chance and im sure ur not tht much of a neanderthall to know tht 6 is bigger than 0

[whoopla1095]

I watched this just in case my xbox did this. its amazing how something so simple can fix something so major. ps3 still kicks assssss

[MrUglydollproduction]

in this case, 3/4 of a ring of death. lol

[TemoX56]

i hope it works. I did all possible tricks (cept for the microwave trick thats F%@$ing retarded) and every time while i play for like a minute or so the screeen turns black. After expirimenting for about ten minutes the lights are back!

[suphomieG444]

i just got my fucking xbox and it did this

i hope it works

[eljafet12]

hey do the new series have this problem new xbox 360 slim?

[CommentChat]

@eljafet12 nope it got fixed 6th july 2009 .)

[crazykatzkid]

OMG. thank u so much i just got black ops. The game froze and I got the red ring. After that I went on utube and watched the towel trick. I tried it and it supposedly worked.

[Partyanimal676]

Thanks man. You're the best. It actually worked.

[cxlow91]

you sound like a nerd from a disney channel show

[sburlbaw]

This worked for me :-)

[Assassin9531]

It switched to 2 lights because that means it is overheated. and it probably wouldnt shut off because it was cooling itself off

[Assassin9531]

1 RING = ERROR IN CONSOLE. (RECONNECT ALL CABLES)

2 RINGS= XBOX IS OVERHEATED. (COOL YOUR XBOX DOWN)

3 RINGS= AV CABLE DISCONNECTED OR BROKEN

4 RINGS= POWER SUPPLY FAILURE

[lolyougotnoobed]

@Assassin9531 How to fix the 4 rings...?

[guitaristave110]

@Assassin9531 3 rings is the rings of the death
