XBox 360 towel trick


Recommended Posts

it should work because the 3 red lights mean that there are cracks in the solder traces on the motherboard meaning if you wrapped it up in a towel restricting the airflow it will get really hot and hopefully melt the solder traces on the board back to the normal state. but about a day after it will do it again.

there you go.

i thought it was something to do with a soft' reset teabags?

as in, when the 360 reaches a certain temperature it resets to try and fix whatever fault is causing it to overheat (its a smart machine but it doesnt know its wrapped in a towel.)

when it resets it usually clears whatever little bug is causing the error.

It doesn't reset. We had to do it manually.
