My brothers friends 360 broke [rrod]red ring of death and he wanted to send it in to get fixed but its modded. He didnt know what to do. so my brotther heard you could wrap a towel around it and it would overheat and then after that it would work. My brothers friend said bs. Then he decided why not try it. He wrapped a towel around it and let it go for an hour. It overheated. So he let it cool down and he turned it on to find out it fixed it! So is the red ring of death just a scam to get microsoft money by getting it fixed from them? He didnt actually do anything.
