Members Crxsh Posted April 23, 2010 Members Share Posted April 23, 2010 What is the towel trick? You overheat the Xbox. On purpose. This "fixes" it. For awhile. Until it breaks again. And you cry your ass back to Microsoft for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scud133 Posted April 23, 2010 Members Share Posted April 23, 2010 so somehow overheating it on purpose fixes it? how the F does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted April 23, 2010 Members Share Posted April 23, 2010 As I understand it, the RROD is caused by a design flaw in the Xbox 360. Simply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Cosby Posted April 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 23, 2010 The Towel Trick: Wrap it in towels, leave it on for 20 minutes or so. Then uncover and it works. It overheats the 360 and melts the thermal glue and spreads it out. Temporarily fixing it. Update: it still has black vertical lines when playing MW2 online. Not in the waiting room, just in the actual gameplay. I have yet to try it with other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gunner Recall Posted April 23, 2010 Members Share Posted April 23, 2010 You should still be covered unless you got one of the very first ones (has it been 3 years already?) MS was pretty hassle free and very quick to respond when mine broke. I sold the replacement console they sent me and bought a sexy black elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Army of Darkness Posted April 23, 2010 Members Share Posted April 23, 2010 I've had my old 360 from launch and it's still going great. I've opened it up, flashed it and done all sorts of mods and it has still yet to RROD. I definitely recommend running older 360s with the cooling fan upgrade mod or using an external cooling fan. The newer 360s have improved boards and are supposed to be reliable as any other consoles around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
