if you get the rrod does your hard drive still work fine?

So far I haven't heard of it ruining your hard drive with it. From what i have seen E79 i think means bad hard drive. As long as you don't see E79 you should be ok. I think its E79. E71 is update error, also can mean bad mobo, e74 is sometimes same as RROD but sometimes not, there are also a slew of others. But so far none of the boxes i have fixed had bad hardrives too, you should be safe.

I just got an xbox 360 that has RROD. Im trying to fix it and your video seems pretty legit. Im not doing the towel trick because it just sounds stupid.

Im waiting for ur part 2 and I hope that you post it tomorrow :D.

And if this works ill appreciate it greatly.

When i first started working on xboxes (xbox's?, xboxi?) i tried the towel trick once or twice, works only temporarily. the x-clamp replacement should fix your rrod problem. essentialy the towel trick just overheats the crap out of the xbox and can ruin things like the fans the dvd-rom drive and other things. overheating does play a role in fixing the xbox's RROD but only with the motherboard out so nothing else over heats except the parts we want to over heat.

unless you your warranty is out. If your warranty is out micro-shaft will rip you a new one on the price to fix it.

Dont open it just send it in to Microsoft. You will lose your data that you saved but at least you dont have to manually attempt to fix it.

ok thx because when i unplugged my 360 from the outlet i guess it went into safe mode and showed the 3 rrod and i was thinking ok i have a warranty but is my hard drive okay

as a matter of fact yes it has.....I thought that it was an isolated incedent but unfortunately i was mistaken... I now am wheelchair bound and have an anxiety complex.....i pray for you....i fear there is no way to prevent this from happening...I also have begun research into the posibility that the xbox 360 was created by the clown from IT. It has his devious tempor and evil mark. God help us all!!!!!!!!!!

My Xbox recently came to life and ate most of my torso will you do a video on how to prevent this.

P.S. Just before finishing my torso it raped me with an Atari 2600. Is this commonplace has it happened to you?

the best place as far as i have know is on the top the the xbox just behind the power board. i have a fan mounted in the top part of the shell on one of mine. 70mm fans are a perfect fit (70x70x15). and cheap. I may make a tutorial for that too one day. its actually really easy. In my personal xbox i attached a fan right to the CPU heatsink, small like 50mm, which i have soldered to a 12+ on a transistor and the ground is just soldered to a common ground. has run fine for months.
