So obviously I&#39;m wanting to fix it, but I&#39;m a bit confused about which solution to use...<br /><br />1. The &#39;Penny&#39; fix - Does this even work? Is it some kind of elaborate hoax? Just wondering because although there seems to be some support for this method, the X-clamp solution ignores what this fix sees as the problem altogether (the 4 &#39;band-aid&#39;-like heat remover things that are replaced by pennies wrapped in electrical tape)<br /><br />2. The X-clamp fix - The method I will probably be following, just wondering about what kind of washers to use, as the guide here states that nylon/plastic washers are best, but I&#39;ve also read that they are the worst because they can melt and cause RROD again. So metal or plastic washers?<br /><br />3. Would combining the above two solutions be a good idea or mess up the x-box?<br /><br />4. A friend also has an Xbox, in perfect working condition, but he&#39;s worrying about RROD now and would like to &#39;fix&#39; his at the same time I&#39;m doing mine. Can you fix RROD before it happens? i.e: apply an x-clamp fix to a working xbox in order to prevent RROD from ever occurring<br /><br />edit:<br />oh and it&#39;s probably worth mentioning that neither console has a valid warranty, so sending it in for repairs is out of the questions. Who wants to wait weeks for a repair they can do themselves anyway? =P Electric_Shaman Xbox Sat, 02 Jan 2010 09:03:26 +0800
