Repairing Your Xbox 360 3 Red Lights The Rights Way

January 29th, 2008

 There are a few ways that people say you can fix the xbox 360 3 red lights or "Ring Of Death" error. Most of them are erroneous. Some of them can cause critical damage to your unit. First let me begin by saying Xbox 360s and computers in general do not like excessive heat. That is why they have fans and heatsinks to disperse heat. Go to any CPU vendor website and they will tell you that severe heat to a CPU will cause permanent destruction to the processors. Be wary of the Xbox 360 Red Lights "Towel Trick". I’ve baked a console doing that. You may not think you are, but believe me the towel trick breaks consoles. After doing it a few times, you get more and more lockups, until ultimately the freezes are permanent. What is the towel trick and what does it do? If you are from the dreaded 3 red lights error, you may have come across a YouTube video that shows someone placing a towel around the Xbox 360, and then after running it for some time they eliminate the towel and see a working Xbox 360 with no red lights! Why shouldnt you do this? Well I personally have done this to my Xbox 360, and it damaged the internal components of my Xbox 360. I won’t do it again.
