they lie pour a glass of deionized water into it. it'll clean it out and flush the system of all bad components and parasites. if you don't have any deionized water just boil a pot... be sure you let it cool before you pour it on there first. the heat could really mess it up. oh and do it in the tub

DUDE i JUST told you how to fix it. Why would you question ANYTHING you read on the internet. water + xbox = no more red lights.

edit: DO NOT USE TAP WATER! Be sure you at least filter the water first... and if at all possible boil it for around ten minutes and let it COMPLETELY cool doown. Or just go out and try to get some deionized water.

dude i would NEVER reccomend any aftermarket water sellers. They jack their prices up and really aren't providing that much of a new service. i've even heard reports of people re using their filtered water... you'd think you pay someone 50 bucks to come fix your xbox and they'd at least let you keep the water... something about special aquifiers and whatnot. It's a sad jacked up world we live in where someone would be so dishonest in such an othewise honest industry.

To end everyone's Headache with this thread.
First you call the xbox support number, which is the number that the guy gave you in the forum. You call them tell them the problem, they'll probably ask the serial number of the xbox, and they'll tell you what to do, then if they can't fix it from over the phone, they'll ask for your address, and then they'll send you a box. You take of your hardrive, and any other things on your xbox, and you just send the core xbox in the box they delivered to you. In a week or two, they will either A) Fix it and send it back, or B) Just give you a new core system.

Or you could just end it all, and plug the 360 in and sit in the bathtub with it.
