This is going to permenantly fix your red ring of death, all you need is a T9 screwdriver, electrical tape, silicone base thermal paste, and 4 sets of 2 pennies (8 all together if your not good at math).
This has worked on my friend's xbox for 3 months now, and mine for one month so far.
If you want more info, send me a message or video response this video.
**Update**
Yes, you can still use live when you are done, no it will not ban your account. Just make sure you have everything plugged in and try using the xbox without live first to make sure everything is perfect. Then you can plug in live and your xbox is set.
Update**** Im so glad a lot of people have found my video helpful. I have gotten about 50 comments/messages saying that you guys have fixed your xbox. Glad to hear you guys are doing great :)
**UPDATE**
A lot of people are having similar problems. let me tell you how to fix them.
Q: Do I have to use thermal paste?
A: YES, if you don't the bonding will melt and destroy your system.
____________________________________
Q:I have 2 red lights, what do I do now?
A:2 read lights means overheating. Have you tried the towel trick yet? if so, check the pennies, make sure they are on properly.
_______________________________________
Q: Why Pennies???
A: Pennies contain copper, a mineral that is very conductive of heat. Being conductive of heat, it will absorb the heat your xbox is putting out and keep it there instead of the chips.
_____________________________________
Q: Can you fix my xbox for me?
A: NO I will not give out my information to you just to fix your xbox. it's really simple if you follow directions.
________________________________________
Q. The fans stop working and it displays 2 red lights
A. check the penny wrappings for holes
________________________________________
Q: What are all the error codes?
A: Go to this website, it will give you all error codes and how you can possibly fix them.

Q: it works for about 1 minute then just turns to 2 rings. also the fans make a really loud noise.
A: Check the pennies. Make sure they are sticking and make sure you don't have any holes in the electrical tape.

Other than that, seems that everyone is doing great. More than 200 comments and messages!
***UPDATE***
Disclaimer: This trick may not fix ALL rrod. If this does not work for you, try the x-clamp swap out. You can find it on youtube. I am not responsible if you break your own xbox like a n00b. One person who tried to fix their xbox with my trick broke something while doing the trick. They said they were going to sue me. What idiots. Anywho more than 250 comments and messages. And yes, the xboxs I have fixed are still working.
THANK YOU!!! YOU'VE MADE MY LIFE A LITTLE EASIER!...... But, not that much. Great help, But I got an entire project to do, so Bye!

By likeme555 [Affiliate User] 1226963128 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHi great video but do you have to do the x clamps trick before doin this or can u keep it as it was
plz comment plz plz plz
Cellotape will not work! It conducts electricity! If you want proof, unpeel Cellotape in the dark, you should see static sparks! Electrical/insulation tape must be used as it is rubber-based I think, and does not conduct electricity, which is why it's used on wiring. I just got the 3 RROD today, after lots of freezing while playing my brand new COD - WaW, damn it! Microsoft already replaced my Xbox over a year ago, so there should be a new 3 year warranty on the replacement. I'm lost without it!
