    As some of you may know i have gotten the RRoD.It sucks really bad and it likes boys so i was searching youtube about it and found that many people use this trick here is the video that i used.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjjinHmEoss

    basically what u do is wrap your 360 in towels and let it sit for 20 -45 mins then take it out nd turn it off then turn it back on and wahlah





    im doing it now so ill infrom you guys if this actually works

    i did this once, it works, but only once or twice, after that it wears off, but it usually lasts about a week or so each time.

    Yeah this has been known for a while and is only a temporary fix. You will have to eventually send it in.. Also I wouldn't recommend doing it too many times as you could melt stuff inside.

    i think it works because it overheats it even more melting the thing that make the red rings appear. its really bad for your 360.

    adding too much heat will fry your 360

    It works, but it may also set your house on fire.

    Does nobody understand that to stop your xbox from getting RRoD you have to not play it for about 1 week.

    The overheating melts the soldering on some parts of the xbox due to Microsofts poor manafacturing, and it will go back to normal after about a week, if you leave it in a cool dry area. E.G a wardrobe

    If it works it works. But I was told when you do this it doesnt last for too long.

    I have a friend who works at Best Buy. One of the Xboxs in the store got the RRoD and they tried this. According to him, they never had an other problem with that Xbox.

    Lukily I've never had the RRoD to try this. *knock on wood*
