  • what about the new xbox 360's the black ones have they got the same problems because i'm thinking about getting a xbox 360 but i don't want it to brake after few months.

  • THEM BEAGLES!!!!

  • I am watching this video because my uncle gave me 5 broken xboxes. I have repaired them from the website sold all of them and bought a ....ps3. It's so much better especially the quality u need quality 2 play games. (I recommend u do this)

  • yeh you don't get shit like this on a PS3.

  • @sharkfinrazor yeah, on ps3 u get, Yellow light, Blue-ray reader burnt, dysfunctional Hdmi ports,Laggy menus, No online chat, Horribly slow loading Friend list etc etc etc etc etc can go on for ages

  • my xbox broke too. it got the three rings, to stop this when your xbox 360 breaks unplug it, take the hardrive out, and wait 2-3 hours. If you keep turning it on and off seeing if it willwork it wont.

  • Who even plays long enough to get rrod? I only play one or two hours at a time?

  • dude.. this video is pointless....

  • look im young and got my 360 at a pawn shop im 15 what do you expect? my 360 has two red lights flashing after like 5 min of game play how can i stop this? again not rich and 15 help me out someone

  • good video

  • thanks this really help alot mines was overhesting and it took about an hour to find this on here i looked every where but here.

  • i spend an hour on the xbox 360

  • I got one ring once and all I had to do is take off the hard drive and put it back on thats it, and it works now.

  • I own a ps3 and a 360 and really I found no reason to favor one more over the other....

  • wuht store do u go to to fix it?

  • it's not that difficult...

    tinyurl(dot)com/xboxquickfix

    see? wasn't that easy?

  • same ha[pend to mine it scrached all my disk call of duty modern warfare 2

  • You do realize he is retired right? Leave the rock that you liv ein.

  • I'll go with PS3

  • i would too but i actually want a system with good games on it!!! and going out to watch a movie with friends is way better than blueray!

  • Ok what games r good to you then, as far as the blueray thing goes...goodluck going to see The Godfather at the movies with your friends, or any other classic films on blueray.

  • rofl, if i had a ps3 id prolly think that ps3's are better than 360's, but hey theres a reason why 3/4 of the world owns 360's

  • And I don't understand why. Shit, if my console kept burning out on me I wouldn't keep replacing it with the same POS.

  • he also failed with the 'zune'

  • he tolerate this because ... he retired already ?

  • dude, ive tried everything cept take it apart, ive gotten it to work by sticking a fan at the back to cool it down, ive gotten it to work using the towel trick, hell, ive even gotten it to work by slamming it against my knee. lol. xbox's sure can take a beating, beleive you me

  • Have you ever wondered why people say believe you me? im not dissing you or anything it just sounds like a caveman word lol

  • lol, beleive you me, i have never wondered why.

  • just buy a fucken intercooler

  • What if you buy an XBOX that someone already did the towel trick to? That's a pretty common fix that people have tried. So it's a pretty big gamble then?

  • aint fu*kn workin

  • i got the 3 ring of death but there was just a powe surge so i turned it off and back on and it works fine

  • that sometumes happens

  • or you could send it in free....

  • E-7...9?

    thats not metioned on xbox . com...

    but E-74 is the one i had

  • ive had my bxox for 2 yrs and its been fine!! i never knew about the red light until 2day. its like my bxox hates me it stuffs itself up when i get a new game (fable 2) so i cant play!!!!! lol i am definatly just going 2 send it 2 whateva place and pay $150 i dont wana risk stuffing my xbxo up more thx anyway

  • i find it better when the console is flat rather than stood up

  • mine has the 1 Red light where the 4th light is, you dont have that on your video I was hoping that you knew what that one means

  • Never heard of that call microsoft straight away

  • My husband learned a couple of years ago what heat can do to a entertainment concole. He lost two playstations because of overheating.

    So when he got his current playstation and his xbox, he put an intercooler and two fans over it. He has two fans that blow into the vents on the top and the intercooler pull the air out.

    Now it doesn't matter how long he plays, the system stays cool.

  • I am not currently getting any red light error message but when I turn my console on it will run for a few minutes then i will get graphical artifacts on my screen. will some of these techniques fix this?

  • My Xbox got the 3 red rings, so i turned it off and turned it back on and it worked. I dont know why lol, but im happy it did

  • same here it will fucking break on u again... just wait

  • yep same happened to me yesterday, and it broke ... again :( bummer

  • some rreason i turn my xbox on and not even 1 light apart from the middle 1 turns on... :(

  • no-one heard of Warranty or Insurance?

  • how do you want if you have the warranty still? do you just call xbox?

  • i love how the ratings are disabled

    but seriously did you ever plan to tell us how to fix it? or are you just gonna spam a website at us?

  • my xbox did this to me when i was trying to play xbox its happened to me 4 times its just bs

  • I had just got my 360, went to the kitchen to get something to drink, came back, and I fucking had the death ring!!

    I fucking started speaking elvish!!!!

    I was glad when I realized I still had a warranty though.

  • I got the red light today after 3 years of it working great

  • watch bullet8t8 video , even got proof of hacking gamertags , its still working

  • its actually illegal to sell faulty products and then charge to have them fixed

    so why hasn't there been a lawsuit?

  • They havn't been sued yet as microsoft is the richiest company in the world. So no one would ever win the lawsuit

  • 2 lights keep coming on mine! i turn it off and go to play it later and after 5 minutes it goes off again!!!!

  • damn! i send my xbox 360 to repair center in germany (close to where i live) then it came back three weeks later and guesss what? there was a letter: "Ur xbox 360 has NOT been repaired or replaced". then it said why: Because i have opened it and done someting to the partss inside but i havent so im asking myself: WTF??????

  • my xbox has only one light lit up what does that mean..??

  • it means ur xbox is about to overheat

  • 1 lights not permenant

  • howdo u fix it

  • my friend mike shut his off and turned it on and it workd

  • maybe Microsoft mas no other functions for those red led's but to say that xbox is broken.

  • lol my av wasnt all the way in!!!

  • YAY,i only have 4 red lights =P

  • To Prevent this:

    1. Buy and install whispermax fans by tailsmon

    2. DO NOT GET AN INTERCOOLER, Get a fan stand

    3. Keep xbox vertical (with fan stand)

    4.Add extra Heatsinks (should come with whispermax fans) for older xboxes with no heat sinks

    5. Install Watercooling if necessary

    The Object Is To Keep The Xbox As Cool As Possible to prevent the heat from warping the circuit board and popping the GPU lose (causes rrod and e74)

    Hope I Helped :)

  • That will help thank you :D

  • No Problem XD

  • water cooling an xbox is the most retarded pointless nerd thing I could imagine anyone doing, just upgrade your pc and throw your xbox out if your going to do water cooling i mean wow.

  • Comment removed

  • Mainly hard drive problem...

  • i got the red lights like 15 times and i just turn off my xbox then turn it back on and its all better =)

  • how many? :|

  • around 15 times

  • im usin the towel trick right now... its worked for everyone else so far.

  • Dont use the towel trick it bends your motherboard and can cause permanent damage. Shure it works to get your 360 working but it only lasts so long.

  • wat u suppose 2 do with the towel

  • its called the towel trick. U wrap ur 3 ringed console in three towels- While on and hard drive and av cable unplugged- have it on and let it Burn for about 20secs, then unwrap let it cool for about another 20 then turn it on. Usally u get a few more days from it every time u do it. But the more u do it the more damage to the soldering and Xclamps- if u have them still- will happen.

  • Great Vid and it's sooo funny just pissed my pants Just kidding helped a lot going to fixed that

    And another thing I bought a elite when it frist came out i had put the fan ever since i bought it in the frist place but one time i didn't put and ?!?!?!?!?! RROD WTF

    I then put it back and ever since then it has been working i have had it for over 1 1/2 years now so try that just helping around

  • my xbox is over heating it gots two red lights let up i need a fan thanks dude iwas wondering why it was so hot

  • I'v just got the tree light of death and waliky enought that the waranty was extended to 3 year, it endead in one month or so. They send me the lable for shipping had it 4 hour after call in emal and it's all free of charge so if you lucky like me call them and make tem pay for it and there is a 3 month added waranty on the one they will send ya. that xbox is going to run like no other. can tell you that :)

  • Microsoft Does The RROD

    Because They Dont Want People Moding

    There 360

  • ya, wat about the 1 red ring, wat do i do there and wat causes it.

  • wat about 1 red ring

  • damn i always forget something... hows the music track @ 0:40 called?

  • oh something else... dont blame bill gates for that -.- everyone thinks hes like THE ONE AND ONLY SUPERBOSS @ Microsoft, but that is not true... in fact he is not even microsofts 1st man anymore...

  • wow that really works... tried it... thanks alot dude

  • well my xbox had the three red lights then i sent it away to get fixed it came back and surprisingly it did work then a couple of months after i started getting 1 red light but my xbox worked after i turned it off then on again but i had to do that every time my xbox cooled down so the fault only occurred when the xbox was cool but now my xbox is working fine no red lights woohoo

  • honestly if there able 2 make sumthing like that make it 2 where it will last like a ps2 i have had it for 4 or 5 yrs i cant even remember...

  • xbox360's are shit at life

    first, y the fuck would microsoft make the xbox360 have the 3 red lights in the first place

    and second, if the red lights were something wrong with the hardware why didn't they take there time to FIX the problem

    how can people stand xbox360's, its obvious that the ps3 is better so the 360 is just a waste of money

  • my 360 got it and ima now go to teh website n fix it or probably buy an arcade n just fix my old one and sell it.

  • i have ps3 and a 360, all i did was take my 360 by one hand and slam it down hard on something and it would turn off then on again and work for about 1-2 months lol but now its fried and towel trick aint working (love warranty) ;)

  • my xbox is in the red light district. it sucks...its the 5th time...FUCK YOU MICROSOFT! refurbishing my fucking ass!!!

  • What a bunch of shit! I got my xbox 360 back today from microsoft after having the death lights and after playing for 45 minutes the dam red lights came back on again. I am about to give up completely and just get a Playstation 3. They better send me a new one this time!

  • Lol at the guy who threw one in the trash can!

    5 dollars says he picked em back up :p

  • every one i kno with a 360 has got red ring all the 100 people allowed on your friends list all of them on my friends list has got red ring every xbox will and can get red ring my friend got red ring 7 times in 2 years he didn't even break 3500 gamer score on once a week red ring still fuck that lick my nut bill gates pussy fag rich by selling community's faulty fucking equipment

  • 360s fucking suck. I own one ands its broke. Fucking peice of shit. PS3s are fucking cum loads better.

  • Yes, play with your cum loads bitch

  • another reason why you get 4 rings of death is because the av lead is not pugged in

  • or a power supply problem, or that the xbox doesnt really know what the problem is

  • Microsoft releases they're products too early, before they are completely finished. So it causes many things like the Xbox 360 to have errors, or even fail.

  • yh like vista!

  • I've had it 3 ties over the past days. It's ridiculous, although what I usually do is quickly turn it off, unplug the cables in the back and wait for about 5-10 minutes before turning it back on. It works.

  • towl trick works and then after the 6th time it will not even work. i don't know what to do... any help?

  • well if you go on my page theres a video telling you how to remove the heatsinks to get rid of red ring for maxumium of 1year its in my favorites or you can send it to microsoft.....

  • video was no help at all and the music enraged me, 5 minutes of my life ill never get back, u tosser

  • i know 1 way to fix the 3 lights problem:wrap in a towel nd keep on i did this and it was better it hasent gone since it worked on my m8s console too!

  • also it didnot harm gameplay but iwraped in cloth towel and with soft part

  • i got this werid red light of death its was rlly weird for some reason my xbox 360 had 7 LITTLE RED LIGHTS ON THE RIGHT CONER WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!! SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME!!!!

  • Lol, maybe the LED lights were dying and it just turned out to look that way.

    If on the screen of your TV it says ''system error'' and at the bottom it says E74 then I might be right.

  • A question someone might no but i cant find anything about it...... after fixing my xbox.. how do i get it to test for a hardware failure again instead of going right to the red lights.... right now i leave it on for 20mins then turn it off.. it will actually start up, not go right to the red lights. Is there a faster way to get it to start up to see if its a heat issue?

  • Bottom left red light only, E74 on the screen, I have had atleast 9 times and I've had my Xbox for as many months. It says to contact Xbox customer support. However, for this error, simply turn off the plug socket and wait til all the lights turn off on your Xbox. Turn the socket back on, start your console up and it's as good as new.

  • we're already in 2008 about 3 years after the release think the xbox 360s you buy now are better prepared for everything? O_o

  • I like the music.

  • why you need a console that you need to repair each time you want to play? buy a ps3 its more reliable!

  • ya i did that and it just started to spark so i screamed for my dad and he came in and punched it the windown thats y i have a ps3

  • I fixed rrod the simplest way without voiding your warranty!!!! It takes 5 minutes to do.Check it out here

    tinyurl(dot)com/6o2xbc

  • i keep my ebox in my mini fridge XD it works ive had it for like a hole year and a half omg

  • do u relly lol

  • i just hit my hard and it went back to normal but i runed the game in side

  • shoddy manufacturing? please.

  • awesome video :]

  • i only got the 1 red light in the bottom i might mail it out today or tommorow... Happy thanksgiving everyone! and i no this xbox 360 shit pisses me off too.

  • it too like 3 weeks for me to get my return box because they couldnt find my adress then it took them a while to fix it, it took like 2 months and i was pissed until they accidently sent me TWO refurbished one on accident i coulnt be happier lol so now if this one fails i got a brand new backup

  • you forget one big thing.. the new xbox's don't have this issue

  • mine just got it now, so guess what....WRONG!!!

  • wrong you dipshit. xbox still has this issue..

  • no it doesn't dipshit!! mines has a falcon chipset; smaller cpu & 175W power supply (old ones had 203W). Runs cool & has no issues.

  • you also have a small fucking brain.If you think that this is the only xbox problem.

    reduceing the cpu will make you consle freeze more often and will be more slow.

    xbox is just another lame piece of hardware that microsoft just makes.i am not saying that the software sucks because its awsome, but the consle has too many system failures!

  • oh by the way motherfucker, i have a xbox that's over 4 years old...zero problems as well MF...LMFAO, MF (8/18/04) & forget about how old my atari is...it too works with zero problems.

  • poor kid.

    screaming mofo on the net :(

  • well, my guess not on all of them. gotta love idiots flipping out online

  • i got the one year warranty and everything and one red light so i called microsoft to send it in and they said they would send an email with the address to send it to and its been 2 months since they said that idk wtf to do

  • call again. why'd you wait 2 months?

    it takes less than a day to send an email.

    they messed up

  • mine got 3 rings i sent it to repars and it was free so send me a reply.

  • And you didn't have a warranty? Cool!

  • man the way u made this vid is like as if we r watching the news man! wats with the music rofl

  • Jahsper01 what sucks for you is that when 360 maxes out, PS3 will be going hard for another couple years and the games will be waaaay better than ones you ever played

  • i have just got 1 great Console

  • tnx for that. iwill fix my freinds 360,s and get loads of cash!

  • did you say 4 red lights?? dude that means that your cable av is unplugged 3 means that the xbox is overheated.i have that same problem too.

  • simple just make sure that your house is not dusty and smoke free and make sure to put a bagon it when not playing

  • tell me this

    when i turn mine on...it goes to a white screen n says

    "to play video game,please enter a xbox 360 console"

    that doesnt even make sense...some 1 help me

  • that happens to me when i put in GTA4 or Forza 2 but i just keeep taking the game out and putting it bak in

  • I have the same problemn

  • i know how to avoid getting red ring

    folow just this big list :D

    -play only 0-14h in day and i never get red ring

    finish :D easy

  • awesome that explains some stuff. but what is the name of that awesome soundtrack it's so dramatic i want it! Does anyone know?

  • simple answer...... buy a ps3

  • maybe ppl dont want to play ps3 dont tell ppl to play a ps3 if they like the gameplay of 360 so be it who gives the fuck of its errors like me i got the e74 i dont care i just want to play my game and go pro.

  • your the noob still waiting on my home your the noob who lost ff13 and tekken to 360 >.> RETARD ALERT! ps3 got raped at e3

  • fuck you

  • yeah fuck me because xbox is getting its dashboard face lift so whens my home coming out.... oh wait no one knows was it even a subject at E4 i dont think so rofl face it ps3 is free and shit rofl yous have like 1 exclusive this year >.> and even thats being spoke about because sad pervs on ps3 are making cock levels whats that tell ps3 virgin sex offenders!

  • Why buy a Ps3 when we have Gears of War 2?

  • completely agree:D

  • Exactly.

  • hahah u got the cheap box!!!!lolololol tramp

  • its the cheap hesting pads on the muther board that cause it if u just peal them off u can get silicome electric tape and 4 sets of 2 pennies just wrap the pennies in electric tape with nothing of da penny showing and use the silicome to keep them stuck on and no mor red rings think microsoft 4 8 cents mor u wouldn hav 2 do all that!

  • maybe a poor design,however,a simple temp gauge would be better than 3 red lights!!

  • "Microsoft said, a few months after the Xbox 360 release, that the average failure rate was less than 5%"

    That right there, my friends is some serious Bulls**t

    I had one for about 7 months and i get a red ring in the corner (for AV cables). The rest of my friends that have a 360 have gotten the full 3 red rings except 1. Also, thank you microsoft for the general crappy setup of the xbox internally, if you designed it a bit better you wouldn't have to fix those millions of 360's each year!

  • well my xbox got 1 red light 3 times in the 2 and a half years iv had it and this is the forth time so now im getting a £280 pound reimbersment (about 600 bucks if your american) and im getting a new elete and i hope this one wont break, the no 1 tip, get insurance/warranty, its only a bit more money but it is worth it uf your getting a 360

  • *a reply to d3athkni6ht*

  • i dont get it...y the hell would microsoft give the 360 the ability to do that?!

  • the ability to do what? make red lights? are you retarded it does that as a safety feature to let you know somethings wrong. just like computers safety beeps.

  • does this happen often? how much do u have to play? i want a reply from an honest xbox pro owner please

  • it just happened to me (thats why im watching this video) ive had mine for about 2 and a half years. i used to play constantly, but then i only played once or twice a week. but... my friend had his as long as me (minus about 3 or 4 months) and hes had to get his fixed twice! (he plays alot) well, hope that helps

  • Well curently my xbox is a victim of the 3 red flashing lights and ive owned for like 8 months!! They told me i dont have to pay but the service is really slow and its already been 3 weeks and then they told me to wait another 2 weeks.

  • well i've had my xbox 360 ELITE since christmas 2007 and it only just broke so basically ive had it for about 7 months and i got E74 im pissed off. but anyways just get the warranty.

  • r all warants 3 year? can i get a longer one?

  • I just contacted xbox about my warrenty without informing me that my xbox broke. They said something like $39 for an extra year or $69 for an extra 2 years I believe. I think I paid $49 originally for my 2 year extended warranty which turned to 3.

  • i did buy the intercooler and it still red ringed!  :(
