Why Won't the Xbox Towel Trick Work

In fact some who have used the towel trick to try and fix the red ring of death have actually ended up frying their Xbox 360, turning it into a very expensive paperweight!

The towel trick is one of those methods that should have a government health warning attached to it as far as I am concerned because it can be so dangerous, not to mention the fact that it can completely destroy your Xbox 360!

If that is the case, then why do so many people try it? Well, the simple answer is that the towel trick can work, but only temporary! It is basically a quick fix and that is all. What is more, you can only do it so many times before you permanently damage your Xbox 360 beyond repair!

Wrapping towels around your Xbox 360 causes the internal temperature to increase to the point where the solder joints on the motherboard melt and then harden again which is thought to fix the red ring of death or any other related problems.

The problem with this method though is that using the towel trick several times makes the solder brittle, meaning that the joints will eventually become useless resulting in your Xbox 360 being damaged beyond repair, which is why this method only works a few times!

The really bad news is that if you try the towel trick while your console is still under warranty and you fry the motherboard, then Microsoft will not cover it due to the fact you have breached the warranty! If your warranty is still active then it is much safer to send your console to them who will repair it free of charge, although you will have to wait more than a month to get it back!

The towel trick is a risky and dangerous method that you would be wise to stay well clear of! If you really want to try and fix the red ring of death yourself, then a much better and safer option is to purchase a professional repair guide online. Such a guide will show you how to safely repair the red ring of death permanently, and you won't need any towels!
