3 Red Lights - The Solution?!?! (no towels)

[True Technique]

I previously tried 'the towel fix' for my xbox 360 and it only repaired the console for a couple of hours - however I have now tried a different solution involving a RUBBER (Or Eraser for the US :D ) and its now worked for a couple of days going swell. People are reporting its worked for months. Heres the link I followed to get information on the fix:

I highly recommend it if you have no warranty left. Oh and its invented by a brazilian guy....Thanks Chiaroscuro!

VERYYYY interesting. thanks for posting it on here i rarely go to xbox scene since i dont use my xb1 no more.

but u know what.....the 360 is so limited in homebrew that i think the xb1 will start getting play. i miss homebrew:( :(

It's working after this small mod. Let's hope it doesn't affect the ram

NOBODY LISTEN TO THIS FOOL, IT IS A REFERRAL SITE AND THE CODE HE GAVE IS A REFERANCE TO WHO REFERRED YOU (THE LOSER WHO POSTED THE POST UP THERE)

this method works i have tried extra compound and the towel trick on my mates 360 and today we tried the rubber fix and it has worded for hours even on games that wrecked it int he first place

[kbudds99]

This worked perfect, had 2 x360 with 3 red lights and tried this, turned on for about 12 minutes to heat it up. Turned it off and back on again and worked on both units. Will repost if i can after i use them for awhile.

what would you use to stick the rubber mod on with.i don't want to use glue that is going to cause problems................sudeki300

[xghost360]

i used my girlfriends nail glue not too strong can be removed and the 360 has been working non stop since yesterday and i mean nonstop playing,looks like the rubber trick is the best fix around

[True Technique]

i used double sided tape first time around, but since that didnt do the job permenently - ill prob use some sort of glue next time...

[jostboart]

I used normal glue...It's working for 3 weeks now, without any freezing or breakdown.

I would suggest replacing the eraser pads.

Reason I say this is because with the pressure being placed on the pad after a while they will tend to keep the size they are at and no longer provide resistance (pressure) due to the heat.

so replacing the pads should give you the pressure back that is being exerted on the ram chips.

(I think I said that wrong but you get what I'm trying to say)

after 3 weeks = no more pressure
new pads = get pressure back
