Two guys from Brazil demonstrate how to fix the dreaded red rings of death on the Microsoft Xbox 360. Reminds me of the “color” TV we had growing up. Two whacks on the side of the set and you got color. Source: YouTube via 1Pstart.com

    Bad Xbox, BAD!!!

    I guess this is similar to blowing in your NES or NES games to get them to run.

    Braddizzle, the towel trick does work quite sufficiently, my cousin has an xbox 360 and asked me if I could come round and check it out because he didn’t know what was going on (It was RROD) , I had seen the towel trick on the net so did that and now he hasn’t had a single problem occur for over a month
