apparently you can fix your 360 with a towel leaving it to over heat wrapped up in a towel i say its a good way to start a fire why not poor a pint of water over it as well for a laugh.

I can't believe people would even think of doing this.....

Why dont you ring M$ and ask for your's back..it will come back quicker than it takes to repair them lately

Then if it all goes wrong...you can haunt yourself(Y)

[Raisedbyflames]

lol i can haunt you while you playing 360 pull the wires out the back of the tv and all that crap just to you off

Thats nearly as bad as saying you can cure AIDs by having Sex with a Virgin.

*Above taken from what a Witch Doctor in Africa was telling people with AIDs*

but this method only gets it going for another two hours.

like putting a plaster on an axe wound

RESULTS VARIES
if you check around and read peoples comments they say its fixed it and its ben working fine soo far

[TBS Trojan]

isnt it for all four lights?

[Tobes]

No cause that would be your video cable isnt plugged in right etc.

The towel allows the 360 to overheat and stick the heat sink back down I think... I know it has something to do with the hot air gun method.

[Raisedbyflames]

we when i get mien back im taking it apart and putting some decent heat paste on its not hard microsoft hurry the up

[AK.]

sounds abit dodgy really dont it lol

[Dcontrol]

I would never even consider doing this as I'm pretty sure it will make your 360 even worse.

[Raisedbyflames]

if its already dead what have you got to loose dcontrol

Your house?

Well only if I've lost my sanity will I do it then. Common sense some how tells me that this is not the best method to get it back working neither will using a defibrillator to shock it back into working.

[Raisedbyflames]

i probberly wouldn't do it either im just saying thats the reasons people do it

[damien©]

Yea I agree, I'd probably be more inclined to go pick up a Pre-Owned one or a Core Version.

[Raisedbyflames]

im buying a core next time obviously its unreliable, and ill make sure ill get a 2007 360

Yea I plan to get a second one soon, mainly as I'm sick and tired of getting off to let my sister play. Lol
