Hey guys,
Ive got an old RROD console just sitting it the cupboard and i'm wondering if the penny trick is reliable and somewhat permanent?
Thanks,
Kitty.

How long did it fix it for?

All I did what take off the heatsinks and replaced em with washers and thin bolts like it was done in a video i found ages ago on youtube...and that fixed the RROD to one of my xboxs and its been running strong for a year now..the penny trick seems like a terrible idea

A few hours. About 3-5.

Personally I don't know what to do. It might just be my Xbox.
I have never encountered an xbox like the one I have sitting in my closet.
The thing is from the original launch it lasted a long time without Red Ringing(ringed two months ago) since then I tried every fix in the book, xclamp,penny,towel,and re applying thermal paste.
(Yes I did all these methods correctly, I'm not technical/xbox360 illiterate.

I'm stumped, I want to fix it but it seems nothing will work. If anyone knows anything else I could do I'll give it a shot.
