Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Award(s): 0 | ok everone who gets three red lights i recently got a broken 360 from my uncle for my B-Day i was gona send it in but it was taking to long so i found out the error code was 0020 with is unknown so i tried this not the gay towel but i opened it removed the plastic shells took the cd drive out took out the fans and the white thingy. I then left the motherboard in the metal bottom then i bought it into my moms room and used here hairdryer and went all around it and i tried this about 3-4 times then one time it worked i havent gotten the three red lights for over a month. so i would try this method "towel trick" only if you can send it into Microsoft. if anyone wants 360 repairs i live in New Hampshire. i am always on my aim SN Drewz89. thanx's for reading im not responsible if u do it wrong. | ||||||
