I just got the red ring of death on my xbox 360 like 5 minutes ago. what do i do?

Question

thank you for the advice guys.

I'm going to exchange it. I just wanted to know if there were any, more immediate actions to be taken.

Answer 1

Hi Strider,

You can send it back and get this fixed for free and you will have to wait for up to 4 weeks to get it back, or you can fix it yourself as all you need to know is how to stop the 2 main chips from taking so much heat and then you will be up and running in no time!

Hope this helps!

My husband says you're screwed...then he laughed a lot...then he said you have to send it back.

I say I wouldn't bother messing around waiting for the company to remedy it (that's cutting into perfectly good playing time).  If you bought it recently, exchange it at the store.  Most of these companies have a 4 to 6 week turn around time.

Answer 4

phone 1-800-4myxbox and they will tell u if it still has a warranty. they will give u all the info like where to send it and all that good stuff. when u get it back make sure u buy a cooling for it so it doesn't run too hot.
