How to Fix the Three Red Lights on your Xbox 360

UPDATE: Don’t be a dick and post a comment saying “it doesn’t work.” Look at the first comments, it worked for them. If you don’t think it works, I dont care but dont be a dick and say it doesnt You can fix your Xbox 360 just by using towels and time. First, get two thick bath towels and a watch or clock to keep track of time. Go to your broken Xbox 360 (only if it has the Three Red Lights, I don’t know if it works for other thinks) and put one of the towels underneath it. Make sure your Xbox 360 is in the middle of the towel. Fold the left and right side of the towels over the short sides of the Xbox 360, then tuck the towel under the back. Don’t do anything to the front side (where the button to turn it on is) yet. Take the other towel and put it on the Xbox 360. Center it on your console. Tuck it in on the sides and in the back, but not in the front yet. After you wrap it in both towels, reach through the opening in the front of the towels and turn your Xbox 360 on. Roll up the towels in the front and leave your console on for 10-15 minutes. After waiting 10-15 minutes, unroll the front of the towels. Turn off your console, then remove both towels. Let your Xbox 360 cool for about twice as long as you left it on. After you cool it, turn it on again to see if it works. The Three Red Lights will probably be gone, and your Xbox 360 should be normal.

    @godlyginger if all of the rings except the ones in the 1st or 3rd quadrant are blinking it means there is a hardware failure….if all 4 are blinking it means u dont have the cords in the right place… if all of them are blinking except the one in the 2nd quadrant then it is overheated,dumbass

    Well, to be percise. The towel trick just fries the mother board and destroys the wire inside the xbox360 which causes malafunctions and maybe permenetly destroy your xbox. I advise you not to use this kinda TRICK! If you wan’t, try it! I don’t care if it is destroyed, even though there is a tons of fixing options for this one. I am not forcing you. i am just advising you. So, 4 the people that tried this and failed, Thumbs up this comment and let democracy choose for you!
