I tried it and it worked ok for about 3 days, then my 360 just kept getting the RRoD and now its on its way to get repaired or replaced. :cry:

Almost a month, then it started freezing a lot, and finally it died.

That's okay....the odds say you will one day.

I've never heard of this, I just got my replacement back a few weeks ago. I'll remember this little trick :P.

Worked like magic on my first 360 but I decided to send it for warranty after it went RROD again within a few days.
