Never heard of that before... A temporary fix, no doubt.

Grr.. my regular store didnt have any vinegar in stock. I have to go to a different store tomorrow. I will post my results after I try it.

Bandit5317, if you watch the end of the video, the guy does own a repair shop. It shows his workshop and his website info on the video at the very end.

Its fake. You can see the video gets cut of for a split second when he taqes it out of the water.
DO NOT DO THIS.

It is obvious its a diff x box but with water splashed on the top of it.

You can use mineral oil and it looks like water. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

zazarider, it says right in the video its 5 gallons of cold water and 1/2 bottle of vinegar. And, mineral oil is much thicker. You can tell its really water when he takes the xbox out and it drains.

I looked it up and water is a poor conductor of electricity, so maybe the vinegar makes it even less of a conductor so it dont short out.

How's a disc supposed to spin and be read in a water filled drive? Surely once it has dried completely the rod will come back.

it says at the end if you want you xbox fixed "for real" go to his site.  Logically this would not work and I would warn against it.
