What are some ways or methods to fix the Red Ring OF Death (RROD) for the xbox 360?

Question

other than just getting a new xbox...

Answer 1

Well besides the obvious (giving it to microsoft to repair if you haven't voided your warranty) google xbox 360 repair and you should get several returns from different companies. Or you could use craigslist.com and look for local people.

Answer 2

My buddy had the Red Ring of Death suddenly appear on his Xbox 360 and ended up finding a website that showed him how to fix it in under an hour - literally.  

He did what they said step by step and actually did have his Xbox back up and running in a little more than an hour and he was pretty happy about since he didn't have to send his Xbox out and wait weeks to get it back.  He told me it was actually pretty easy to do as well.

Anyway - here is the website if you are interested:

Answer 3

You can mail it back to Microsoft and have it replaced 100% free. Call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX for more information.

Any other way is stupid because it will void your warranty and isn't 100% guaranteed by Microsoft to fix it.

Answer 4

i fixed it myself manually and didn't mail it back to microsoft

its easy and you can do it yourself look at that website ( step by step repair guide that solves the most xbox 360 common problems permanently)

Answer 5

the only thing you SHOULD do is register your xbox 360 on xbox.com and fill out the repairs info online and they will send you a box for you to ship it to them.  You WILL NOT get your current xbox back, instead they will send you a completely new one with a 1 month free xbox live membership, other stores might not take it, and if it's been tinkered with, then your warranty is void.  If you send it in for repairs, then the warranty starts over and you have an extended warranty period

Answer 6

Hi,

You can fix the red ring of death if you make sure that the GPU and the CPU do not take as much heat. All you need to do is stop the heat build up and you can fix this problem.

However do not do the towel trick as what this does is heat up your motherboard and does allow the soldering to reconnect for a little while but it is not a lasting fix and you will fry the Xbox.

If you want to fix it for good either send it back or search for a good Xbox 360 Repair guide that has a full guarantee and you cannot go wrong.

Hope this helps!
