   The worst that can happen is that the Xbox will just go back to the RRoD. I tried it, and just worked for a … uhm…. 2 hours longer? Then it went back to the same.

   I had a recent experience with this. My Xbox 360 Elite laser is going bad, every time i play a game it tells me the disc is dirty. So i asked my roommate where his old xbox was, he had it in his closet because he had the red ring of death on it; i was planning on using it while i send my Elite in to Microsoft. Anyway, i heard word of mouth about the blanket trick so we said why not, it’s already got the red ring of death (roommates old xbox). So we plugged in the power and audio/video cable (not connected to tv) and the red ring came on but the fans were still going. I took all the blankets i had in my livingroom and wrapped it as tight as i could while laying on it for maximum heat. The xbox’s fans got louder and louder and i started to wonder if this was seriously going to work. It got really loud after about 10 min then it was completely silent. I unwrapped the xbox and all the blankets and the console were extremely hot. The xbox was still on (red ring) but it wasn’t making a single sound. I disconnected the wiring and put it in my freezer for about 10 min. After that it was quite cool, plugged it in AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!! This is a serious, true story. The blanket trick indeed DOES work on the RED RING OF DEATH! So if any of you out there get this red ring, that is the signal that THE XBOX WANTS INTENSE HEAT!! give it the heat (aka blankets) and it will work!

   i had 2 xbox one the RROD because the video wne tout and another the NYKO intercooler melted into it. i didnt wanna pay $99 to repair both so i took my old one,the video bad one, did this trick thinkin “this is bull this sint gonna work” but it did and im still laughin about it.

   Also, None by Nyko Intercooler it WILL melt into your xbox and break it for good.

   I just did it…and it worked like a charm!! It’s only been on for like 10 minutes, but it doesn’t seem to be acting up. I did it because i had already opened my system up, so there was no chance of warranty. glad i did it.

   Yes the blanket trick completely fried my xbox 360, and i already had opened it so I cant send it to Microsoft to get it repaired. So now I have to buy a knew one if I want to keep on playing.

    hey the blanket is not a permanent fix what it does do however is override the 3ring but only after you left it cool down and to use the blanket trick without damaging the overall system is you have to take it apart pull your fans off the chasis and leave it on the gpu because its the cpu that has the heat control unit once it hits the 2 blinks let it sit there for a lil bit and you should be golden however every time you do the 3 lights your also messing up the ram heat systems little by little.
