Well, after purchasing a kinda useless e-book (Technophobes: That means a book only the computer can access) that tells me muchos about 3 red lights. I have scraped off all the LIES and FAILURES, and chosen four realistic things that COULD save your console, and a lot of money in shipping.
1.) The 'Towel' method
This one sounds like something I'd make up in my sleep, but it isn't. It's actualy quite basic.
First, unclip the hard drive, Xbox Live connector, all your fancy flashing things that go WHIRRRRR. Wrap it in a towel as if it were a baby (A £279, internet connectible baby), and place somewhere, like an oven. Don't turn the oven on, you'll have a helluva time clearing the melted plastic off. Leave it on the oven (Xbox turned on) for 20 minutes. Collect it. Let it coool down for 15 minutes. Plug it back in. Hopefully, success is yours.
2.) The 'Nyko' method
Nyko do a range of weird and wonderful things. They have a very intuitive (i.e: Clever clever) idea, that is the gamefan. It's essentially a fan that's 2x as fast, clips to the back of your 360 like a parasite, and blows the fan to cool temperatures. And it works. Well. Problem is, it could shout down a dying elephant in terms of volume.
3.) The 'Windy Vacuum' method.
**Only works if 360 is in a cabinet**
Clear the cabinet of all stationary equipment (i.e: Games, DVDs, etc.), everything that ISN'T the xbox 360 and the power brick. Put a fan on fiull blow on the brick. Leave. There.
4.) The 'I Give Up' method.
Buy a memory stick. Save all of your 360 data onto it. Buy a new Xbox. transfer old data to new (See? Isn't technology just magical?). Take your old Xbox. Drop off of something high. Jump on it repetitively. Or something, just so your old one dies.
Personally, if your rich, take the fourth option. It's fun. With my serious hat on, take the first option. It works 99% of the time (Hey, nuttin's perfect)
