I take offence to "no schooling? = qa tester". I had to get a degree to get in this role :S

Swing but a miss...

Anyone with the red light of death should look at xbox360faults.co.uk, and you'd notice that one of the most common errors is moisture in the console. The towel trick works simply by providing an absorption layer for the moisture.

As the console heats up it evaporates and the towel absorbs the excess, but obviously after a few hours operation in even a mildly humid environment the 360 replenishes its moisture content.

The only real cure is to get a replacement or move to the sahara...
