does the penny fix really work? watch the video and find out
UPDATE: as of 11-07-09, it still works perfectly
i recently did the penny trick on my friend’s 360 and when i was finished, i turned it on and it had the 2 rings of death. I found out that loosening all of the screws does the trick and brings it back to the 3 red rings, then you can do the towel trick and ta-da!!!!

@huskerkid21. A possibility remains that there may be a hole in the wrapping around your pennies or they may be loose. It may be best to check them once more and possibly replace them.
