red ring of death
my roommate tripped over the usb cord for my wireless headset and my xbox has been freezing up. i noticed my harddrive was kinda loose and when we tried putting it back in it took up a lot more force to do it. so we opened the fucker up and i did the old school “nintendo cpr” blow. you all know what i’m talking about. rather than blowing into the invisible nintendo cartridge i just blew all the dust out of the motherboard.
so we put the xbox together and then fuck… 3 red rings. i youtubed some shit and came across the penny trick. i had no silicon heat paste thingie nor electric tape. so then after further looking around and hearing about the “towel trick” i decided to do it.
we took the hd out of the xbox. made sure no disc was in there as well. unplugged the internet connection and wrapped 3 towels around the xbox. in less than 15 minutes we heard the xbox die. we unwrapped it and got rid of one of the rings. having 2 red rings means your xbox is overheated (i suppose).
we let that fucker cool down and now it works just fine. if the problem persists though i’ll definitely try the penny trick. since this piece of shit is out of warranty i can’t send it in. if worse comes to worse, i’ll just fork up the 4 bills for the modern warfare 2 bundle. i forgot to mention this is the 5th xbox due to the red ring.
