I had the same problem, and wrapping my 360 in a towel for about 15 minutes did the trick. No joke! But if you go this route, make sure to watch it closely to avoid overheating!
First, unplug everything and let it cool down for a bit. Overheating can sometimes cause that dreaded red ring! If that doesn’t do the trick, try removing and then reconnecting the hard drive. Lastly, check online for guides on opening the console and reapplying thermal paste. Just be careful – voiding the warranty is a risk!
Honestly, it’s best to send it in to Microsoft for repair. Trying DIY fixes can often make things worse.
