Broken Xbox 360 Question?

Question

I have one red ring of death but dont want to pay to the 100 bucks to get it fixed. So I have heard people send there non 3 red ringed xbox 360s to xbox to be fixed and have come back perfectly fine. I could say the red rings only happen rarely so what do you guys think

Answer 1

put a towel over your xbox and turn it on and leave it on for like 15-20 minutes and the red ring should be gone.  

Answer 2

it just depends where the rings are located. bcuz there is a fake ring of death, and there is a ring of death. the fake ring of death just means that your system most likeley over heated. an intercooler would help very well. but if its the actual ring of death that means that there is a system error. such as the hard drive might be harmful to the system or your system overheated at one time and messed up one of the hardware chips.

Answer 5

When you say red ring of death I will guess that you are talking about the three lights because that is what most people refer to as the red ring of death. As far a I know you could damage your xbox 360 for good if you do the towel trick. I did some research for you and I did find a site that does some xbox 360 repair guide reviews. I would recommend that no one try's those repairs that are on youtube. So I guess visit the source and let me know how it went. Save your money my friend.

Answer 6

Mr. Game informer, please get more informed. There's no such thing as "fake" red ring of death, 3 red rings means you can have a poor connection with the BGA solder under the GPU or CPU, your disc drive could be broken or fragged or flashed badly or unplugged, the network chip could be broken or fragged the list goes on and on. the overheating RROD you are referring to is 2 red lights and is not an overheating warning, but a operating temperature limit exceeded warning. It goes both ways.

What is your error code? Fix it according to this guide http://xe.brothersoffreedom.com/en/error...

And "Xbox360" also please get more informed, you cannot melt the plastic on the RAM chips by doing the towel trick, they put the motherboards in ovens to flow the solder onto the corresponding pins.

Answer 7

send it to microsoft! i did it and mines working fine! please o please dont put a towel armound it and leave it on! this heats it and my freinds xbox caught on fire!

Answer 8

Better send it to microsoft because by time it will have the 3 red ring of death

but a piece of advice DO NOT use the towel trick cause it will damage the whole motherboard and it will void your warranty because it will melt the memory chips and damage some of the circuits inside
