Hey guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) !

Do you know about the "Hot Air Gun" method ? It's a way to save the 360 when she has the famous "3 red lights of death". Apparently it works, a guy tested it (from xbox-mag.net) and now his 360 is fine.

Here is the video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYv6b7MndJk

Thanks, but this is very old news. This fix is peppered throughout this forum.

Is that so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ... sorry I didn't know. In which topic are you talking about that ? Has it worked for many people ?

Theres too many too list here.

It seems to in most cases, but it's risky, as you could damage your motherboard.

Ok thanks for the answer.

That can be useful one day, in a desperate case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) .

i had the 3 red lights, so i decided to wrapped my 360 in plastic, and turned it on and let it heat up till it shut its self off on its own. i let i cool (about 20 min) then turned it back on and it worked no more red lights. give it a try if your out of your warrenty.

becarefull this could start on fire, monitor the 360 the whole time use a surge protector and don't blame me if something goes wrong but it worked for me.

you may have to do it a couple times, i still get problems when i play siants row, but everything else works fine. u should still find a way to get a new 360 or sell the one u have. i don't think this is a fix just a temporary repair.
