I was chillen at my friends house the other day he was suckin it up real bad on halo 2 on my 360. So like a good friend should do i told him how much he sucked and how he needed to get better. Than all the sudden the box freezes. we start her up again and not even 2 seconds in it freezes again.I was like aight im a let this sucka cool down a bit. Go downstairs make me some hamburger helper. Eat it all than come back up stairs turn on my box and get ready to pwn noobs but this is what was stoppin me . So i went to bed and figured i would have to shell out major cash money to feed bill gates money making machine. The next morning im googlin people who buy broken 360s when i come across this article that says if you wrap your 360 with a towel and leave it on for 10 mins it fixes it. So i was dumb enough to try it becuz i do nethin i see on the internet and what do you know it works. This is intended to be motivational and save you 150 bucks if your out of warranty or dont feel like sendin in your 360 for repairs.

NOTguaranteed to WORK BUT ITS DAMN WELL WORTH A SHOT

Heres a better way, dont be stupid and:

- Mod it

- Give it no room to breath

- buy intercoolers (if it was needed Im sure MS would of shipped one)

- Put it up verticaly on an unstable surface( vibrations will nugde the disk to hit the laser)

- Lastly dont drop it

For 10 min i don't think it would but potentially it could. Also i'd hate to see the motherboard or even the chips after trying this trick. Throwing it in super heat hot enough to melt solder is insane
