Red ring of death.

is it true if i placea 360 with 3 red rings on, in some towels and overheat it for 20 mins, it will work fine afterwards?

the ring of death is caused by the motherboard flexing due to high heat and the chip pops up at a corner and theres no conection with it . if you heat up the motherboard and while its still warm bolt down the motherboard then let it cool down and turn it on that will fix the problem but if you still get the ring of death heat up again and tighten the bolts just keep ajusting untill its fixed .
worked for all the 360s i have fixed and thats loads .;)
