good luck with that most likely it will probably last you a week then rrod all over again.
What's the towel trick?
yea i know. its only a temp fix, usually lasts a short time. it still has the warranty on it. just too lazy to take it in, so this is my lazy fix to get a quick game of Halo in, lol.
if you get the RROD, then you take any CD out, take the HDD off, wrap the xbox completely up in towels or blankets so that it gets no ventilation at all. turn it on for about 15 minutes, then turn it off. let it cool off for about 10-15 minutes, then it should work again... but only temporarily.Quote:

what is your username?
AgileMaxPower.
When I first signed up I wanted Max Power (ala Homer Simpsons new name) and it was already taken, so they recommended that name. I was unaware that I'd have to use that gay name for this long.
Hit me up or send a friend request next time you get on. You have to have the Caps part right to find me as well.
A buddy of mine in Florida and I play a few nights a week after work.
cool. i may be on either tonight, or tomorrow night.Quote:

from my understanding, its cuz there is a poorly done soldering job on some part, so the extra heat kinda rewarps it into the correct position temporarily, or something like that.Quote:

Besides, most everyone I play with are friends of mine in real life so we call eachother by our actual names anyway.
Stretch, I sent you a friend invite yesterday. I probably won't be on again until the weekend though.
