The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
As many of you have heard, there are several ways to temporarily fix your Xbox once it has the 3 red lights. The most common and successful way is the tower trick. basically, it involves wrapping your 360 in towels to soften and restabilize the solder, although since it is alredy damaged, this will only work for few hours.
Here is the video:
***Please note: Do NOT overheat for too long, this could cause further, irreparable damage
Also, here are some other tips:
-Do not place the console on carpet.
-Keep the back and sides ventilated, away from walls or other surfaces
-Do not use an intercooler, this will void your warrenty because it is considered moding your console, and the Nyko Intercooler has also been shown to actually cause the RRoD by blowing hot air BACK into the console.
Hope this helps!

Also, if you do use the Nyko Intercooler, don't tell M$ you did, or they will not replace your 'box.
Re: The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
I've heard that if you use any non-Micro$oft add-ons you void your warranty, is that true ?
Re: The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
why does that work.

Just a note though, when intercoolers break, they leave a mark on the Xbox (no idea what it is), but the mark is detectable by the folks that you have to send you xbox into when you get the RRoD.
In short:
If an intercooler breaks on your xbxo at any time, and later you get the RRoD, your warrenty is void and they will do nothing except send you back your broken xbox.

Re: The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
Wow, I didn't know about that. On my first box, I used an intercooler, and I didn't get the red ring, the video just stopped working. They sent me a new one. I guess I got lucky.
Re: The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
Yeah, it's only if the intercooler breaks. No idea how that happens, but apparently it does.
My suggestion is to just not use one.

You mean a capture card? No way. As long as you aren't installing any foreign product or software on your console, it's not modding.
EDIT: And by foreign, I mean something that isn't made by Microsoft and designed for the Xbox 360.

Did, you use paste or gel? I used paste and got my friend's scratched Madden disc to work again.
Re: The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
When you have scratched discs, if you feel like being a jerk, just rent a copy and swap the discs, making sure to put the store sticker if your store does that kinda thing.

Re: The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
i just send it back. ive had 3 RRoD's already, but i love Xbox so ill buy another every time.
Re: The Towel Trick (Temporary Fix ONLY)
I don't see whats the point if it will only last you a few hours. I can see how it would be beneficial if you had soemthing important to do, but in most cases it's just a a waste of time and effort.

I tried that towel trick once and it didn't work.So I had to send in the Xbox.
