Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
hell yeah they do.
i would be weary of ---- en putting a heat gun and blasting temperature sensitive components.
or, you could do this. submerge the whole ---- en thing in a tank of mineral oil. without the drives and whatnot touching. it will work i swear.
no really. everything but anything that moves. so basically extent the dvd rom outside and with an external sata cable, dunk that ---- in a tank to about where the hd goes.

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
ya don't do that. first find out the hardware failure.
when the 3 red lights come on, hold sync and hit the eject button to show the 4 digit fault code.

And the towel trick is ------- stupid. Take a heatgun or atleast a hair dryer and heat it manually to keep the chips cooler. ONLY do that for poor solder joints (fault 0102)
Keep the gun moving and pre-heat the entire board for a minute. Then slow down over wher-ever the fault area lays. (generally the GPU / GPU ram chips) When it turns pretty hot, stop, put it under a fan until it's cool to the touch (15min) or 30-45 min with no fan.
