Towel trick? Gotta be careful doing that or you could end up claiming on house insurance!! :shock:

EDIT: For those that are not aware of the towel trick, please please please do not google it & find out. You seriously do risk burning your house down & calling the fire brigade!!

Apparently it melts something inside it...or something like that!

lol, everything?

[suzsv650]

Towel trick is meant to melt the solder back onto the Chip... this wont work as your damaging all the other components at the same time!

My fix was playing about the processors and the heat syncs (removing the X clamps). You got one you want fixxed?;) Apparently, what i do is what gets done if you send it back to xbox.

This is my initial assumption; my freind did the same thing, he;s only now on his second xbox...after trading in the towel'd one for an elite ;)

[ThEGr33k]

I sent my elite back to the factory as it got the ring oh death (after about 80 hours of playing on it, seriously!) and they replaced the Motherboard in it. :)

I just sent mine back in, they fixed the motherboard, replaced the heatsinks, and (hooray!) replaced my grinding, unreliable optical drive at the same time.
