subject: Is It Safe To Use The Xbox 360 Towel Trick To Repair Your Xbox 360 Rrod? [print this page] If you have been desperately trying to find a fix for your Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death (RROD), or 3 Red Lights, then you should have stumbled upon the Xbox 360 Towel Trick at some point during your search.
You must have wondered if the Xbox 360 Towel Trick really works or even safe to try.
The good news is that the Xbox 360 Towel Trick really does work BUT don't even think about giving it a shot unless you are ready to throw away your Xbox 360 console. Read on to find out why...
The Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death is widely theorized by experts to be caused by the wearing of the solder connecting the heat sink to the motherboard. So what the Xbox 360 Towel Trick really does is to overheat your Xbox 360 console to the extent that the solder melts back together and eventually restoring the connection between the two components.
The Xbox 360 Towel Trick exposes all the components in your Xbox 360 console to high levels of temperatures - not just the solder. This is very dangerous and risky as other heat sensitive components such as the CPU and the GPU that are not built to withstand heat may be permanently damaged. You may even possibly cause a fire!
If you think that it is worth giving the Xbox 360 Towel Trick a shot, think again. The "fix" has already been widely practiced and known to be only temporary. So you risk barbecuing your Xbox 360 and you only get to delay the pain at the end of it.
The moral of the story:
Don't try to destroy your Xbox 360 with the Towel Trick. Download the James Dean 3 Red Light Fix and you'll never have to worry about the RROD.
