Mine RROD'd when I had it and some random guy on psn told me to squeeze the console together really hard and it fixed the RROD. So if your 360 ever breaks just squeeze it together in the middle and it fixes it.

If it happens to me, I'd rather just send it to MS and let them fix it than risking to break the console myself by squeezing it.

 

 

For some reason that made me laugh, how could that possibly help?

Don't quote me on this, but I think I remember talk about RROD being a problem with a warped motherboard causing bad electrical contacts. Squeezing the console might bend the motherboard back to a better position, so it may be a temporary workaround.

IMO, the smart thing to do is to just send it for repair. A temporary workaround like squeezing the console will only make you risk having a later RROD after the warranty expires, at which point you'll regret having done it.
