Xbox 360 Towel Trick And If It Works

The towel trick of the xbox 360 involves putting your xbox 360 into three towels and wrapping the xbox in whilst it is powered on for about 20 to 30 minutes or so.

Does it work? Yes, definitely it does. But this fix is not for the long term because for such a complicated system as the xbox 360 that costs well over $200 that can be fixed by wrapping it into a few towels?

It actually doesn’t work well for it as by doing so, several parts within the xbox 360 will melt and depending on your luck the xbox 360 may be more severely damaged then before.

What the towel trick does is to melt away the lubricant that is between the heatsink and processor, and causes both components to mend together closer instead of leaving a gap prior to that. This way, the processor is not overheated and the heatsink can absorb the heat, leaving it working much better without the three rings of death.

Many other bloggers have also reported that the towel tricks does not work for them or that it is a temporary fix, lasting only 2 to 3 weeks, and have also discouraged use of the fix, because it may void the warranty of the xbox 360.

Here is a video that is shown on youtube on the towel trick:-

The video is quite informative (and hilarious ) and as you can see from the video, a fire extinguisher is recommended as the xbox 360 may catch on fire due to overheating of the internal components that are within the xbox 360.

Another caveat is that as you do the towel trick fix more, the life of the fix shortens considerably. If you do the fix the first time, you may prolong the life of the xbox 360 by 2 weeks or so. The later stages that when you use the towel fix, the life shortens considerably down to 4 or 5 days or so. Use with caution, as it also shortens the duration of many other components withinXbox the xbox 360.

My take? Not worth it. That is because given that you may void your xbox 360 warranty and also that it may not give you the neccessary permanent fix that you need to have a leisurely gaming experience for more than 6 months down the road.

If you want to get a permanent solid fix for your xbox 360, the best fix would be to use the Xbox 360 Red Light Fix Pro Gamer Edition.
