Towel Trick Question?

The towel trick does not work. Its a lot of video scammers just trying to ruin your 360. THink about it, all the towel does is ADD heat to your 360. If you think logically consoles dont do well on high temperatures...nothing does well on high temps.

DO NOT USE THE TOWEL TRICK ITS A SCAM

how can a cool, wet towel add heat?

i cant believe that it works and doesnt do damage but cant see how it adds heat!

You got to love people who never tried something but claim its fake.

actually it did work for me....temporarly. Mine died right after i got halo 3 beta, so we tried the towel trick. It worked........but after turning it off it wouldnt turn back on, lights of doom. And the towel trick didnt work again. If you dont believe me go to bungie.net and look at ajr911, i only played halo3 4 games, and that was a cople of days ago..not sure how many. And if ive been on at all since then its from being on xbox.com I dont know if that counts though

ok, dont listen to the people talking about the hot/cold, and it not working and s***.

my 360 got the red lights like... a month ago (check out my avatar).

3 red lights is a hardware failure, this means that something INSIDE the xbox isnt working.

 this could be caused by a varity of things, but 90% of the time, its because microsoft used REALLY poor, cheap sodder that breaks appart, and seperates the processor from the motherboard. You dont wrap a 'damp, cool' towell arround it, you wrap as many normal towells as possible arround it to keep as much heat IN as possible, this will re-melt the sodder on to the motherboard. WABAM! your xbox works again.

(of course its only temporary, and will eventually just stop working, but its a great thing to do untill you can get a new xbox or get that one fixed... properly.) 

is there anyhting i can do since i dont have a warrnety like what would be my options and i dont have the money to just buy another one. owskie

M$ will fix an un-warrantied 360 for something around $140 i think. 

dont be scared of the towel trick. i tried it the first time today and my xbox works fine.rappinman13

You got lucky.

That's like saying dont be afraid of playing russian roulette. I tried it and i didnt get shot.
