Re: The Towel Trick.

well... hang on... is it not the fact that the 360 is so rubbish at dissipating heat that causes the RROD in the first place...

as the heat causes the Solder (with tin in it) to heat slightly and degrade and separate causing a dodgey connection

and all heating it up (with a towel) does is re-solder the joints that the 360 has b0rked in the first place... (because it heats the solder further than the 360 does normally)

(of course i could easily be wrong and be miss-informed on this point)
