Ah the ring of death...my solution

Ok, you may have heard this before but I tried a simple solution about 5 months ago, and since then have never had the ring of death. When it happens...turn off your 360

Next, take out the HDD.

Now, this is the tricky part. Take your 360 in one hand and with the other hand....slap the living sh*t out of it. This may seem harsh, don't put all of your muscle in it, just hard enough to let it know your the boss. Slap it around 10-15 times. That's it. That's what I did and I have yet to have a ring of death since. Feedback is welcome

I've heard this from numerous sources. I'm just afraid I will break the xbox. My xbox is currently in the shop for its second hardware failure. If it happens again I may try this or the towel trick again. I'm tired of Microsoft's lies.

Mania keeps getting more passive aggressive toward the 360 with his PS3 fanboy-ness...
