Hey everyone! Wanted to share my good news. Yesterday i took it upon myself to try and fix a RROD on a system 4 or 5 years old (out of warranty). So i went through the process of stripping the 360 down to the motherboard. Removed the x-clamps, replaced the bolts with some screws that would fit to make the processor and gpu sit closer to the heatsinks. Threw away the x-clamps (wasn't sure about that, but they wouldn't fit now). Then i partly put it back together for testing purposes and BAM no RROD booted up perfectly!

I was so happy! Supposedly this is a permanent fix so im glad i took an old system i was going to throw away and just made it work again.

Your topic got me wondering. Will the towel trick work on this new Xbox? Just a hypothetical. No need to try to answer it.

On the new 250gb that came out or on his "new" xbox? I ask because you say "this" If you're talking about the 250gb model, I don't think so. I've read on a few sites that the new 360 will shut down at a certain temp. to prevent serious damage. So in theory, it shouldn't even get to the point where you need the towel trick.. but.. everything works theory. lol

I'm talking about the new remodeled 360 or the "Slim" as so many people like to call it. I know about the auto shut down feature. But the new console can still have a general hardware failure. No piece of consumer technology is immune to failures. So if you have a general hardware failure "Red Light," maybe you can still do the towel trick, because the console's operating system wouldn't boot if you turned it on and the auto shutdown would not work in this case. At least I wouldn't think it would. Again, this is all hypothetical, and I'm just thinking "out loud." So no need to get into a debate.

I get what you're saying, I wasn't trying to debate anything actually, just friendly banter. It's going to be very interesting to see what's been fixed, what hasn't and what old issues or new ones for that matter, will pop up.
