How can I make my 360 RROD?

aim a hairdryer at it in a non-ventilated area

just and update for everyone - it didn't take much for it to RRoD

All I did was put it in my media cabinet (I had it out of it cuz i knew 360s are built like shit) with the glass door closed and played for a while as the screen turned purple, then sure enough - it RROD.

And for the morality police - I hardly think that playing a 360 in a poorly ventilated media cabinet is fraud.

I lied once and they fixed mine. It had one red light and I said it had three.

Just sayin...

Fraud: an intentional deception made for personal gain. In your case, $100. Deny it all you want.

Again, MS is clearly at fault for replacing his RRoD'd 360 with a malfunctioning one.

He's right, it is fraud, and probably legally wrong. But that doesn't make is morally wrong in any way.

I had a unit that if I tried hard enough would RROD, but casually wouldn't (but would lock up with pre-RROD symptoms). I called and had MS replace it under RROD - having said "it sometimes RRODs" (which is true), "but is entirely unusable". They didn't have any problems with getting it fixed for me.

For this reason I don't think they really test them.... they don't want to get any more bad press over this RROD thing than necessary.
