2 Red Lights Startup. Holly Sh#t!

[WinVistaUser2]

I almost had that RRoD on my Xbox 360; luckily, I replaced the thermal grease on the CPUs and GPU, dusted out the system and everything is perfect. It normally took a long time to load my Halo: Reach gamesave, and today, it took 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes, and my system temperature is at a stable 40C (108F) and the fans before ran slow and I could feel heat going through; now, the fans run faster than before to help cool down the inside faster. Lousy crappy Microsoft Thermal Paste.

[BipolarBarney]

It means your guys CPU/GPU is overheating. Lookup the xclamp fix, guys.

[firemonkey6647]

this is what mine is doing and nothing i do works.. fuck it im getting a ps3..

[pressy44]

Get a air compressor..At the back...Push the air in the holes in the back of the console...Blow everyhole until every spec of dust flys out...when you are finished all the holes...you will be ready to own ;) I did it and now am playing 3 hours a day not like 10 minutes. THUMBS UP IF IT WORKS!! (Y)

[CHOCOLOCO32]

[TERMINATOR2452]

[bbbzzz234]

@TERMINATOR2452

Thats what I tried. It still gives me the same result, it wont even load the dashboard!

[94crazymonkey]

aw that sux!

[Venice9990]

my 360 has this problem to but i dont want to open it up because ime scared that i might mess something up and end up breaking my 360 but now i have to send it to microsoft for 2 weeks and pay 100 bucks.....

[MyMattz93]

This happened with my Xbox on tuesday. I was happily playing MW2 when suddenly the fans went fully quick and gave me 2 red lights. Then thought It's overheated. Left it for a day and It was the same as the video. I'm now installing new X Clamps and securing everything on the motherboard such as heatsinks this weekend. Hope it works! xD

[coreyone1]

happens same to me turn it on no red lights somtimes 3 lights on when turn on so i go on gta4 10-or-5 mins it comes on 2 red lights then fan turns it sen off

[bigboobslover22]

I FOUND A SOLUTION!!!

------------------------------­-----------

well, 1st i took my xbox360 appart to the bare motherboard, and found that my cpu heatsink was loose. I was like WTF. so i plugged meh shit back into the xbox, and pressed firmly down on the heatsink and wala it was fixed :D.

hope this has helped.

[PPVMonsta]

I Turned it Off and On and worked normally i Left it off for one day

[Cheelenes]

tha worst part is that when you look for the solution on google it only shows you how to fix the 3 red light not the 2 red light

non says how to fix 2 red lights

[sonria]

Here's what you do. Mine did this after I fixed 3 ring error. The button board (how you turn on the xbox) just disconnected that while the xbox is on and doing this, and plug it back in while it is still on. It will boot.

[Bedely1]

yo what do you mean button board man please help

[kriliden]

yeah whats the hell is a button bored

[Link2100]

I tell you the answer right now and it's very simple, checked this out with my 360, the reason it's doing that is beccause of the fan that cools it. If you remove the fan and turn on your 360 it'll work, normally (Don't keep it on like that for long don't want over heat)

[Link2100]

When it starts running normally again turn off 360 and plug fan in, it'll start to work again. This is my fix i've tested it it worked, if it doesn't work than something else might not be plugged in correctly inside the 360. Hope this works.

[mupet00000]

:D you have the same PC monitor as me but I have the G15.

[lynchoo]

Has anyone found a real solution to this? ive tried xclamps, pennys, vacuun..everything..can somebody please help?

[Williamwallace0]

the fans arent ment to stay on for long after it gets 2 red lights

[dudepal187]

Mine does the same thing except the fans turn off after a couple seconds.

[AM3359]

me too

[IRONMANANDY2]

mine too. i dont understand it!! how do i fix it????

[kriliden]

lots of people say its caked in dust this juss happend to me last night when i was plaing brutal legend

[1149779]

@dudepal187

The same thing happens to me every time I turn my Xbox 360 on.

[bluecloud2010]

nomas quitale toda la"dust" que tiene adrento soplale o algo

[abi789]

that means that the xbox is overheated

[coreyone1]

its true

[TXC517]

What I did to fix this problem is......

1. Follow a guide on how to take apart our xbox360. (only if you have no warranty)

2. Along the way with each step look for dust and vacuum it out.

The system has not given me 2 red lights for about a week now and everyone should try definitely try this cause it works. Also I would like to add that I stopped at the point where you have to take 8 or more tiny screws out cause I didn't have a screwdriver small enough.

[BHVampireLF]

Por cierto, sustituí la pasta por un trozo de fibra de vidrio que pasara??? Es termica, pero muy gruesa...

Y que pasarla si los tornillos grandes estuvieran flojos???

[BHVampireLF]

Que mamadas, repare mi 360 de las 3 luces rojas y ahora me salen 2... >_>...

Reacciona igual que en el video, prende con las 2 luces rojas, los ventiladores se aceleran y luego se apagan y la consola queda en modo vegetativo...

[yisuselgamer]

mine happens to and and souns like yours

[FreestyleAnJ]

a mi me deja jugar 5 minutos y sale esto, no se que hacer :S

[setouzumaki25]

yo juego 20 minutos y me salen esas dos luces pero lo apago y coloco otro juego , juego otros 20 min y me salen las mismas luces esas alguien q responda

[dextersini]

Asegurate que está en un lugar ventilado, de preferencia con ventiladores de computadora a los lados, puedes encontrar aquí en youtube cómo hacerlos. Si no, un ventilador de piso cerca o aire acondicionado.

El problema de las luces rojas es que se sobre-calienta, sólo dejala descansar algunos momentos. Si el problema no es que no se está ventilando; posiblemente la pasta termica esté mal o los ventiladores internos no funcionen / se deconectaron.

Ojalá puedas resolverlo.

[fpsawpca]

Pues a mi tambien me han salido las luces rojas, pero cambie la posición del xbox de horizontal a vertical y le puse un ventilador (cooler) en la parte de abajo y creo eso por ahora ha solucionado el problema.

[44punkrock44]

dude u use comp monitor 2 play ,nice...

[kidmuscle28]

spank it in the ass that's what i do

[skaterboy379]

LOL

[peekaboo2u]

just to share, i did the gpu with arctic 5 and tightened everything as it should be. runs fine...until i put the case on...

so first, take the case off, it will probably work...

now to figure out what i am doing wrong that causes this 2 light problem...

[rgrafton]

mine does same thing, it has to do with the fan or the heat sink / thermal paste

[Barricade928]

open a window!

[crakerTag]

joder que ruido hace esa mierda mi ps3 es mil veces mas silenciosa :S

[scottycd]

loud

[atkisamu]

m9s broke today :(

[ThunderWaveSlash]

does anyone know how to fix that problem mine did this and ive waited 2 days for it to cool down but it still does teh 2 rings any one know whats wrong?

[meemeta]

yes ... your xbox360 it's already dead

[ViperEye89]

You have to do the same "x-clamp fix" as if you had the three red lights, but you don't have to overheat it since it's not the 3 red light problem but an overheating problem caused by the heat sinks losing a connection with the cpu and gpu, probably from the shitty thermal paste that microsoft uses. Use Arctic Silver 5! It fixed my problem!

[Hummermaniac1]

i tried that xclamp fix but used a different thermal compund, kind of like plastic/ lateex type, but it didnt work, so does that mean i MUSt use silver thermal compund?

[ViperEye89]

I would recommend it cuz it's metal-based & therefore conducts heat better, but it conducts electricity too so u gotta be careful using it, make sure it doesn't touch any of those tiny transistors or it might fry the board! I also forgot to mention that u shouldn't smooth out the paste into a thin layer. I know thats the PROPER way of doing it, but it doesn't work as well on a 360 as in a pc. Instead I put a small drop in the middle & placed the heat sink on top.  Smooths out by itself.

[Hummermaniac1]

thankx man!

[iSnipeProductions]

fans screwed up.

[italianbro225]

shit... at least mine took like 3 minutes before it took a 2 red light shit...

[redsoxskid12]

[HilleRyan]

This is the exact same problem i'm having, it is also the first time i've found and identical problem after searching for hours on the net. I already told xbox support that I had the 3 rings of death I was kinda drunk and wanted to just try to get my box in without being charged. I'm considering overheating the crap out of my box just to cause it to rrod.

[fgdnandox]

guille de madrid

me pasa lo q a ti

ya las solucionao

alguien puede ayudarme?

[nito2708]

si la has abierto deben haber quedado mal puestos los disipadores porque 2 luces rojas significan sobrecalentamiento

[sejodieron]

la solucion es, tienen que poner unas panties humedas de un dia de uso de cualquier chica en el procesador por 5 minutos luego el sudor vagina enfria la consola y listo tienen de nuevo su xbox

[guillelrrealmadrid]

Tengo tu mismo problema, la enciendo, se inicia el logo de xbox y se apaga con esas 2 luces rojas, se escucha que los ventiladores están vueltos locos y luego se apagan, cualquier ayuda

posible la agradecería porque donde yo vivo no hay SAT de microsoft asi que voy a tener que repararla yo mismo.

[Dani14Gerona]
