i wrapped it in a towel and it turned back on but how long do i keep the towel on for??? and will my 360 be fine now or is it only okay for a few hours?? plz help
u get 3 red lights. shut off xbox then wait then turn it on while its wrapped in a towel all around and it might turn back on. if it does leave the towel on for 10 min supposedly then take it off and it'll work

unfortunuately its not a permanent fix. Ive had to do the towel trick about 5 times since I first got the lights a few months ago.thehandsread730
dang but at least i know what to do. can i play it now or shut it off? and when i get the 3 red lights, when should i start the towel process? plz help
its not going to last that long.... if your lucky maybe an hour or 2
turn your 360 on.... wrap it TIGHT in a towel... let it sit for 15 minutes or until it shuts down.... turn back on without it being wrapped and pop game in... should work for a bit
i recommend this for anyone who is getting the coffin... call xbox and get the box for repair before you do this... then when you send it off that will be the only time your not actually playing... it sucks... but thats the best solution
The idea of the towel trick is to basically overheat all the components so that their metal surfaces expand thus allowing better contact and therefore no more red lights. Ironically the reason why some of the contacts are bad are due to overheating and warping...
Agreed. Heating up the components artificially won't fix anything. It's all in your head. It may be a very short term solution, but it will only further exacerbate the problem.
