Yup, you heard me how to fix"the 3 lights of death"in just 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Leave is on a wrap it in some towels.

Step 2: wait about 20-30 minutes.

Step 3: un-wrap it, turn it of, turn it back onand it should be alright

Hope this helped ^_^:D

it works for 3-4 weeks after that your 360 will just be fried

Yea this works for a lot of people, but dont mention this to Microsoft when getting a new 360, I heard that they will be reluctant on replacing it

I did that but it worked for 45 minutes and didn't work after that, I got an Elite and I wanted to repair my original so I called in and after I said I got it on the release date they will repair it for free. I just hope that they don't give me my original because of the towel thing it most likely will break when I get it, and since everyone is doing this I am pretty sure that they will give me some other persons 360 that has done this, so everyone needs to stop this towel thing because it hurts way more that it helps.

AAARRRGGHHHH!!!! Man, how do people think this is actually possible?!?! It DOES NOT MELT THE SOLDER! Solder has a melting point of anywhere between 180-190 degrees celcius (that's 360-370 farenheit, for the american's here). If your system got hot enough to melt the solder, it would melt every single ic connection, transistor, and plastic component in the damn system. Wrapping a 360 in towels heats the system to the point where the motherboard warps, causing it to a) flatten out again, reconnecting the connections solely through the fact that they happen to touch each other again, or b) warps the board so badly that it will never work again no matter what you do to it. This so-called fix is stupid, at best, and absolutely, mind-numbingly retarded at worst. Do yourself a favor, just send it to microsoft and get it repaired. Overheating a system to fix a problem caused by overheating is the most redundant thing in the world, and fails completely in execution.

no real way to fix it without voiding the warranty just send it back
