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

You have to be mental to do that.

Holy S*** that's a lot of 360s. He must run a repair business.

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.

I still think the penny trick is probably the best..
my friend has had it on his for half a year and it works amazingly..

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.

Yeah stores always sell out of vinegar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mod should lock this thread since its obviously a joke from the new user.

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.
