A Free fix for Xbox 360 when 2 Flashing lights pop up. Microsoft says Xbox is overheating and asks for $99 dollars and to send it in for repair. The method I have proposed is a simple (free) fix that seems to work wonders and saves the money. Simply use an air compressor to clean the Xbox of all of it internal dust that blocks air intake without even opening the Xbox. Now obviously if you don't have access to an air compressor you'll need to improvise because air compressors in general are very expensive. If you do have access to an air compressor this process should fix your problem if it is related to dust.**Update** (10/25/09) This appears to be a full fix, my Xbox continues to work great no over heating what so ever after hours of play. A lot of people are confused at to what an air compressor is. I am not referring to compressed air I am talking about an air compressor with spray nozzle. I will post a link here of exactly what I am talking about.
The Spray Tool I Used:

A Very Similar Model to The Air Compressor I Used

Some of you have asked how they can thank me for this fix, I usually say a good rating and a comment, but for some of you that would like to do more I will take a donation via paypal thru Mickaroo7@aol.com. Thank You.
