OK so say your beloved Xbox 360 has received the dreaded Red Ring of Death. So you ring up Microsoft and let them know and they say that you will receive a box to ship it back in about 1 week.
That’s all fine and dandy but wouldn't it be cool if you could get your Xbox to temporarily work until you had to ship it out?
Well there is a way, it is known as the "towel trick"
OK for this you will need 3 large bath towels
First unplug everything from your Xbox 360 including your hard drive leaving just the power cord plugged it. Turn your Xbox on and place it in the center of the first towel. Wrap it up so everything is covered. Repeat with the two other towels. Now leave your 360 on and let it get all warm and toasty for 25 minutes
After the 25 minutes is up unwrap your 360 and unplug the power cord
Allow your Xbox to cool for about 20 minutes, preferably by a fan or open window to speed up the process.
Once completely cooled hook everything back up and power up your 360. Amazingly the Red Ring of Death will be gone!
Now this fix will last about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks, just about the time it takes Microsoft to get you your shipping box
Hope this helped!
thnx
