  • worked fine for me m8 cheers xd

  • who knew youtube could be so educational! I had no idea i needed to put a comma after the word cunt. Huh...you learn something new everyday...lol I probably won't be putting my xbox in the fridge any time soon, but I do appreciate your efforts.

  • This works for me. One repaired Xbox. Thanks

  • wow dude thanks a lot !!!

  • If you went to MIT why the fuck are you looking at this why dont you fix it you retard.

  • wow, epic bad advice. 1.) Over Heating the xbox causes the pins to come lose.and can cause all kinds of problems. 2.) Then placing it in the fridge can bring harmful condensation into the equation. Causing shorts and even more problems. You honestly are causing more damage than anything. And before you attack me like a noob cum-guzzling cunt, like you did every one else who pointed out the same facts, know that I've Attended MIT for 3 1/2 years. and you sir are a moron

  • @Raaaavioli

    youre my sir,sir <3

  • you are funny and made my day

  • Haha, well im very familiar with the towel trick and it works great as a temp. fix. Havent tried this route but I figure I might. Im trying to fix my buddies xbox that has been broken for ages and I think i'll give this a go. Thanks for the vid man, dont listen to these turd burglars. Peace!

  • your really an asshole and dont be callin everybody an dumbass dumbass i agree with mienguusyour just going to get it baked incomfurmost cunt fucker what a shitload of fuck i want to get my 360 fixed not get it put with more broken shit asshole

  • its like baking a cake :) haha

    

  • all i did was unplug it all then plug it all back in again

  • Or you can talk to pros by calling 1-800-4MY-XBOX

  • @XDStamos Yea, and listen to them tell you it costs $110 to fix.

  • @Iownyoujk 140,and i found a free way! I AM NOT TELLIN

  • Im doin this right now with my xbox ...tell me though when you said bing bag did you mean a trash bag lol

  • @TheBadRaptor i did have xbox in the fridge!

  • I was really hope that u gone smash this piss of shit. I smash mine and all problems ar over:) (get ps3)

  • ya but it doesnt help when you have 10 360 games, then go out and buy a fuckin PS3. Waste of fuckin money

  • does the over heatin part kind of melt the solder on the chips..and by putin it up side down puts the chips back into place then the coolin in the fridge set the solder ?????

  • open ur xboxup and clean it if u do so ull never get dis shit

  • proper good video mate your ed looks wicked

  • its because all u dumb shits put it on its side,

    STAND IT UP VERTICALLY IT WILL WORK BETTER

  • :P it worked but idk for how long. instead of the fridge i put it next to an ac vent overnight. thanks man

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    

  • i kno nd then puttin it in the refrigerator is a stupid move in my opinoin

  • gay u lad putting it ion a fridge, waite for how long like x :)

  • great video man!!!

  • haha its an xbox vid but at 3:20you can hear a wii going

    

  • I read someone's post about standing on your xbox and then turning it on and it works, if this is the case it most likely means the screws that hold the GPU and other heatsink together are not tight enough and need to be tighted that's all!

  • @Canucks164eva i think hes just fucking with people trying to see if he can get people to crush there xbox by standing on it

  • @triynizzles It's hard to say, because I have 2 xbox's one brand new one and 1 old one. The old one I have done the red light fix on it twice already and it's still working going on a year now, but I do know putting some pressure on the xbox can position the circuit board properly to let the fan work as well. And some days if the red lights come on I smash it a bit and shake it and the green lights will come on again :). It's only used for watching movies threw the usb so I dont care about it!

  • @Canucks164eva right i know that pressure can help in some situations but 180 lbs is a bit much lol

  • this might sound dumb turn off red ringed xbox 360 turn it upside down get on top of it with both feet DONT JUMP and turn it on and it works WARNING NOT A PERM FIX hope this helped.

  • my game wont come out

  • mine did the same thing got home from best buy played for 3 mins and got the 3 red lights turned out to be a problem with the ac adapter they said they would give us a brand new one if we came back so we drove 3 hours back to best buy and got a new one worked perfect

  • uhh ok im pretty sure he just got a new xbox after he put his in the fridge to see if any one was dumb enough to actually do it if any one tries this your a dumbass

  • It's not smart to overheat your xbox It might work after overheating but what you are actually doing is killing your xbox permanently The RROD(redringofdeath) is actually an error that occurs when your xbox was overheated before and your motherboard has gone out of place because it was too hot Your x-clamp ( which how the call it ) is bended so what you actually need to do is order some tools at the internet to fix it

  • if you want to fix your xbox with a screwdriver go and do it whats the point in all this text. if you could do it you would have instead of sat watching my video ?

  • @maxkenady Well xD If you want a xbox that isn't damaged, you'd better repair it with what you call "a screwdriver" than overheating your fucking hardware man!! Why do you think a console needs a cooling system ( NOT TO OVERHEAT!!! ) Overheating damages your hardware, So try not to be smart

  • @maxkenady Maybe they wanted to let people know that there is a possibility of completely frying it and NOT bringing it back to life. You got lucky. Your XBOX is probably completely dead now. You seem like an ass. You obviously can't handle people pointing things out. Here I am looking for help to fix my son's XBOX because I can't afford a new one - and you are giving people bad advice. Accept the fact they are right and you got lucky.

  • lol. put it in a bin bag. chuck it oot the window and get a new oNE !!! ko

  • Not to bright, are ya

  • dude i do da same but in 2 months my console really die, how much time ur console lived? or still kicking ass?

  • To be fair, this seams to work 50% of the time and it's free so those who are complaining, just chill, it didn't cost you anything. Good information subseagrim, thank you.

  • only partly works. red ring is now gone however now all i get is the middle icon and not green or red outside ring. I also get no sound and audio on my TV from the xbox :(

  • omg i just did this it works !!! but i just cant find the picture now on the tv :/ but thank you and can you add me on xbox live please its frielo95

  • im doing it now im jjust wating for it to finish :P n to the man who told me how do this on the video whats your name on xbox live and add me on live please im FRIELO95 THE IS NO CAPITALS IN MY NAME tar

  • How long does this fix work ?

    FFS my xbox got the RROD Today!!!!

    I was playing Guitar hero 5 and then suddenly in a middle of a song the picture frooze. Then i restarted it and Then I got the Red ring of shit!

  • @RTR134 It might work 50% of the times you try it. But what you are actually doing is killing your xbox. SO DONT MENTION DOING THIS!! You are overheating and very badly damaging your hardware!! Order some tools to fix your motherboard and xclamp ( it costs about 12.50 dollars and will guarentee you a undamaged ever working xbox again ) ^^ My xbox was fixed this way and it works again for 2 years without problems

  • @Mienguus I share the same opinion in regards to the 'xbox tewel trick and other similar 'fixes' I have tried cleaning and replacing thermal compound on cpu and gpu chips, replaced x-clamps with screws/ rubber washers etc and then got 2 rrod... WTF!!!! replaced x-clamps and got 3rrod back. any ideas PLZZZZ????

  • @THEanarchistpunker You can buy a repairset with the screw drivers and screws needed for the job. First udno your xbox from it's cover. Then repair the xclamp just as told in the user manual of the repairkit. I fixed my xbox this way about 2 years ago. And it's still working.. NO RED LIGHTS ANYMORE =D

  • I fucking just wasted a bunch of time on this bullshit

  • i did this ages ago and it worked thanks :)

  • man this fucking shit dint wotk man it still doing the red ring of death i totalyy followed ur video and it dint work fuck man?

  • this works at start but as u keep doin it it starts to fuck up and freeze after like 2mins of doing it but it was allright

  • Om ehfing G!!! This really works! You are a god damn hero in my eyes! I am telling everybody about this! I have actually opened my xbox up several times and re-pasted the processors, gotten new plastic and metal washers. I had done that pretty much every day just so I could play for a few hours, and then the next day just had to do it again. This is way easier and cost efficient. Thank you so much for posting this, and see you on line!

  • THIS SHIT REALLY WORKS! My roommates xbox had 3 red flashing lights and so we tried this and it worked first try!! We wrapped the xbox in a beach towel for 25 mins and then put it in the fridge for about 20.. plugged it in and it worked first try! thanks!

  • it didnt work then i put it in the fridge again and it works thx sooo much

  • if thiz doesnt work im goin back to my ps3 and buyin mw2

  • Fuck,it worked for 10 days now its back to red ring of death, fuck fuck fuck

  • yes this will work cos 3 red rings is because of something in the xbox not working so it overheats so all your doing is cooling it down for the next 15 mins then it will break again lol :/

  • OMG dude...it worked..just tryed it an it fuckin worked.....but for how long..thats the Q???

  • your a genious man i tried this and it worked u just gotta follow your instructions to the T. 25 mins bundled up 20mins in the fridge and it worked...im speechless...ur the man...whoever thinks this is BS u have to try it guaranteed to work

  • @RobbieDiesel it only works for a certain amount of time, your bound to have to fix it the real way or send it to microsoft.

  • IT WORKED. no bullshit here. worked on the first try, graphics isnt messed up or anything,everything is fine. (Date February 10th,2010) THANK YOU SO MUCH

  • It help me too, but this is a temporary fix :)

  • Sounds kind of crazy but it works lol I did it like a month and half ago and still works...Oh I didnt put it in the fridge though lol also you dont need to put it upside down.

  • THIS WORKS!!!! thx man.AND make sure its realy 25 mins,the x box should have 2 rings of death,which means the xbox has turn off and over heated.try it 2 times,if it gets it again.works for ever.

  • no way this will work! its in the garbage bag right now lol i'll comment soon when its done.

  • @GoodSportsTV did it work?? everyone saying it did?? i mite try it

  • Yes it can work But its a temporary fix !! Might play for another couple of days then die again.This method Messes everything upFollow the Xbox cooling tips also after fixing or preventing RROD (vertical stand, Fans pushing air up from the bottom, No fans that need to get power from the xbox and always remove disks else it will suck in more dust (blow out with canned air)

  • OMFG!!!!! It works

  • it works only temporarily just keep on doing it untill you fry your graphics card have fun with that one.

  • This actually works!!! I was amazed. I did 20 minutes in the bag and 20 in the fridge. It works perfectly again. Great video, brother. You saved me alot of money.

  • to all you idiots who think this is a good thing to do it isnt......not only will it make the prob worse it will fuck other shit in your console . this guy is a fuckwit and i want to break his face

  • Can't believe it worked! I actually tried it and now an hour later it works again. Thanks for the guide, maxkenady! Five stars to this one.

  • Neat trick man!

  • My xbox exploded...THIS DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!

  • @maxkenady

    You Yell at him for missspelling. Perhaps you've noticed you used the wrong to. "You remind me of bill gates fuck you to."<--------- should be (too)

    "p.s" <------- ,Missing second period to mark abbreviation for Post Script.

    "you thick cunt" <-------(Should be a comma here) "bet id<----- (where the fuck is the apostrophy in this conjunction of( I would) ) "let you fix my xbox."

    You Sir, are still a Cum-Guzzling, Moron. Have a Nice day. =)

  • @xICFxDOPExBOYx well if ya get the new black one when it over heats its shuts itself off to coolo down so im willing to destroy the xbox 360 even if it means using a chain gun on it

  • pie is good to eat in the moreing

  • I have a question and need the real answer. I watched a few videos and some people said its stupid to do this but then quiet a few of people said this really works......its temporary or for long period of time?

  • well yes its for long period.and sometimes if u get it again u can always try again and it works for ever.

  • It works but will not last as the Xbox360 will go back cold and start playing up.

  • My Xbox360 what i got in 2005 as died on me with the 3 right lights of death. I phoned up Microsoft what happen and they told me to bin it or get a new one as it will cost me £70 to get it fixed and all they will do is put a new motherboard in. So i had a go fixing it my self and had 100% no luck on it. So my top bro got me a new one what is a Xbox 360 elite.

    From to day i been looking on YouTube about fixing Xbox 360 and am going to give it a go on fixing my old one again.

    Give me luck all. :D

  • I tried it and it worked but only for a few days

  • Don't be stupid!!! This will overheat the unit by blocking air flow.

  • i thought the same as the kid above me . i thought it would not work and what can i say it did thanks bro

  • how lond does it work is it perminent ore not because its like the towel trick

  • THANKS BRO IT WORKED!

  • No offense your better off getting your shit repaired because the promblem is going to occur later on again and again

  • thnx it works

  • I just did this. It worked first time. No issue whatsoever. I thought it was the most redneck thing I have ever done, and then it worked and I stopped caring about the color of my neck XD

    Seriously, this is amazing!

  • i'm not kidding this trick really works, i dont know how much time but it works !

  • holy shioooootttt! it actually worked... you are a genius!!!!! me and my grandpa cracked up seeing that putting it in a garbage bag and then a fridge actually fixed it.

  • theres also another way, take all wires out, then leave it for like 15 mins , then hopefully once youve plugged it all back in. it works , i did

  • i feel like such an idiot for even thinking about trying this, but it actually has saved my xbox that hasn't been used in over a year. my christmas break is saved!

  • omfg dude you should sell that idea or make a book. dude! it fucking works it acctually fucking works. thanks man.

  • come to think of it i dont have any garbage bags at hand. dose it work with plastic grociery bags?

  • well i just got a hard drive and a new game and my xbow got the 3 light deal and when i finaly got it up and working agin it shit out another 3 lights so ill try .....what ever it is your doing and hope for the best.

  • this happened to me like 5 min ago and i let it cool by itself 4 like 2 min and then it worked properly?????

  • i did it with a towel and without a fridge, it worked but when i change settings to hd, it broke again, but to make it work again i just repeated the towel trick, does the fridge part make much of a difference?

  • do u no whats funny i got three red lights and i just turned my xbox off and then off again and it worked lmao but this would be my back up if that doesnt work in the future!

  • This works omg i cant believe it I fucking love this guy trust him this does work. i had the 3 lights for like 5 months, looking for help every where, had no money untill i saw this video. Wow this is soo crazy, ive never wouldve though it will work.

  • wow this act worksss!!!:P

  • does this work for the two lights too?

  • i did the towel trick but it only worked for a day. this is the same concept so i guess it only works for some people

  • cheers bud worked a treat, i forgot it was in the fridge, went to get a beer and was like, sweet! works fine again now, hope it lasts. thanks again.

  • DUDE!!! fucking awesome mann, quality.

  • is this serious or is it a joke?

  • its absolutely serious.. it just melts some solder on the graphics card and re-applies it..

    Microsoft made millions of dodgy 360s that, when played a lot, get hot and melt some solder inside moving the graphics card.

    If you do decide to do this, it does work, but it will void your warrenty, so if anything different happens and you have no choice other than sending it back to microsoft, they won't even touch it and sometimes don't even send it back, so be careful!

  • dude thx

  • lmao what if like my mum went to see what their was to eat in the fridge and saw my fucking xbox in their thatd be brilliant

  • i did this and i didnt work so i trow it on the florr stamped on it and tryed to see iff it work and it has for 4 week and still going lol

  • hahahahaha

  • 3 red light gets fixed for free by microsoft, even if your warranty runs out.

  • really?

  • thats odd because they want to charge me 100 bucks

  • you know what would have been great you talking louder or not having music to this vid!!!!!!!!!!!!  THX ANYWAY

  • im assuming it doesnt stay fixed like that, i tried the towel trick n it worked for like 15 minutes then broke agen, fuck microsoft for making a shit console :@

  • you look like Steve-o

  • would you be able to send me the full instructions please because this thing wat u do is wicked

  • how long in the bag

  • Broke again after a few more days, who cares though, u get a few extra days you wouldnt have got otherwise. Thanks again!

  • naw i put mine around a towl and let there for at least 10 min and turn it off then on again then ka boom!!! it worked for me for like 1 year alrdy mine has been working sense

  • I hope you guys realize this will permantely ruin your xbox, it basically melts all your components together and over heats them until they reset, your xbox will soon have the exact same problem

  • This actually works, unbefrigginlievable! Thank you soooo much, couldnt believe it when it broke night before new COD.

  • i come home after buying mine.... rings :P haha

  • Thanks so much i did this and it worked perfectly!!!!!!!!

  • IT GOT MESSED UP AGAIN!!! any permanent fix?

  • WORKS PERFECT, I was a little skeptical before trying but it made send you over heat intentionally melt the glue and then let it settle in the fridge...FUNNY BUT WORKS...Thanks a bunch

  • This worked for me. I reckon it works because there is probably an overheat protection device in the box that doesn't always reset following an overheat situation. By inducing the fault again followed by rapid cooling, the device resets correctly. I suspect the upside down bit is not necessary but you never know. I followed the instructions given except I kept mine in the plastic bag when putting the box in the fridge. I figured condensation was a real possibility.

  • nice on mate,a bit random but cool.

  • i got 3 red rings on my eite so i turned it off then on and it worked is this okay????

  • works...

  • cheers mate u fixed my xbox!

  • do you guys think if i buy an xbox 360 by december it will not have this problem

  • How long does this fix last??

  • l got the new xbox 360 last year my old one got the 3 red rings but l was told my the shop l have 3 year back up on this new one it has a year down

  • OR SEND IT BACK LOL

  • or send me £50 lol

  • condensation from the temperature difference and the console get wet

  • didnt work it made 4 red lights come up insted of 3

  • THANK YOU - first let me say I have 2 Xbox 360 and I already fix one by taking the X clamps Out and it work for a while but got three red lights again - my other xbox got the three red light for the very first time and I try your method and WOW IT WORKED - THANK YOU AGAIN

  • I Just did this, and IT WORKED !!!!!!!

    I AM SO HAPPY !!!!

    Was a bit worried about letting it get majorly hot, but it was fine,

    THANK YOU POSTER !!!!!!

  • I did everything tis vid told me to do, only, i didn't work :( is there a step I'm missing?

    - Put 360 in (double) binbag, for 20 mins, up side down

    - then put 360 in fridge for 25 mins , once again up side down

    I take it out, switch it on, and there's still those narly 3 red lights!

  • No thats fine it just dont work for all xbox 360s sometimes it is a majer fault but works for 95% of them.

  • Good news for all xbox 360 gamers.

    Microsoft are bringing a red 360 elite out(THIS IS TRUE) I guess thay are doing this so when you get red rings of death it does not look as bad. thank god for microsoft being so inavitive , I take all the bad things i said back lol.

  • hey i got the three rings and turned it off.later i turned it on again and it wasnt there but for some reason i cant play games on my 360.what should i do?

  • That sounds like to me that your xbox has got very very hot and the DVD drive is sat on top of the heat shield and destroyed your drive so if you can send it back do so,if not you need a new drive and a third party to flash you the new one. sorry (Microsoft did not have enough money to find a sensible place to put it that's why 50% of the heat cant escape fr. But if all the people who have seen this video would send me £1 i have a solution but need to build it but make it cheap for everyone.

  • Just run it from in the fridge...ya never get it again!!!...make sure it's frost free!!!

  • What a good comment just run cables into the fridge keep it in there. Microsoft should supply fridges with all new xbox 360s.
