If I use the towel trick will MS still repair my console?

I got the red rings this morning, my box from MS is on the way. But I feel like playing some Rock Band... If I use the towel trick how long will my xbox work for and will MS repair it if it is still working(from the towel trick) when they recieve it?

If u don't receive a new one then maybe used the Towel trick as well :P(if u get the same console)
and after some days.....bang again.....question.

Did u treat ur console good?

did u let it in an open space to cool?

how do u position ur console?

did u cover it after every play with something soft and very easy on it to avoid dust?

did the console fall or something like that?

how many hours u played with it?

answer this pls, i'm curious O_o(answer honestly)

there are many questions regarding how good u treat ur console.......

Did u treat ur console good?

Yes, I dusted it pretty often

did u let it in an open space to cool?

Yes, there was nothing above it or to the sides only under it, which there has to be because you now... gravity and all

how do u position ur console?

vertical

did u cover it after every play with something soft and very easy on it to avoid dust?

Nope

did the console fall or something like that?

Never

how many hours u played with it?

Alot, like 4 hours Mon-Thurs and like 6-8 or more on Fri-Sun

The towel trick is a temporary fix to the "red-rings of death." The ring come from a hardware failure, usually a broken sodder. The trick involves heating up the console as much as possible, in this case by wrapping a few towels around the xbox and turning it on for a few hours. The desired effect is that enough heat will be created to melt the broken sodder back into place.xboxdudeman800

Towel trick would only work for like a days or two or even only 5 minutes but MS would still fix it if you didn't open up the consoleShadowsRunner

My friend had the towel trick fix it for just over a month. As for the guy who first mentioned the towel trick, you said turn it on for HOURS. jeezuz no, you're only supposed to turn it on for 20-30 minutes, if it's wraped up properly after that short amount of time the thing is too damn hot to touch.

oh and MS did replace my friends console when it RROD'd again. Just don't volunteer the fact that you did the towel trick to MS and you'll be fine.
