[TheNightshade43]

I've never had a red ring or any problem with my console...if I do then I'll know what to do. Thanks.

[WrestlingBC12]

@TheNightshade43 You will, eventually....trust me. Took 4 1/2 years for it to happen to mine but it always eventually happens.

[LakersCA760]

Thanks for the help dude. My xbox works now:)

[WrestlingBC12]

[XSpartaKitty]

What IS the red ring of death? (Sorry.. I'm a Grand Chase addict (it's a computer game) so when I'm not playing that it's playstation for me x3)

[narutofanstudios1234]

[sddfs777]

ps3 FTW

[zsupercookiez]

[weweman01]

@johnmessi3 ya but no one lives there ;)

[johnmessi3]

go buy a new xbox cheapass it costs 200 euros with 2 games and 2 controllers in greece....

[thegamechannel123]

u could just get the new slim

[Ubuntu20111]

fuck me thats a big screen

[classicmstang]

i would recomend a smith and wesson .500, .357, .45, .40, 9mm, barret .50 cal 30-06, 25-06, .357 rifle, 30-30, .223, .50 cal muzzle loader, .17hmr, .25 (yes it is real) .22 or a 12gauge (any kind of shotgun will work) and hell if you got it a damn anti-tank gun... then after all that if you can even find the damn thing do what "dabaDmofo182" did then call microsoft and tell them you are having a problem with your xbox. HAH!!!!

[brian500017]

[MrBOBMAN567]

[MrNigahigajunior]

[kklola1]

yay i dont nead to worry about that cuz i have a Wii.

[thexangelsxfall]

actually i know a kid that can reprogram the red ring of death. Its the blue ring that even the programmers couldnt figure out. The blue ring means its trash.

[masterofbloopers]

@mattgformayor your cat was about to jump out the window XD

[joepoe1134]

i have the same problem as u do and i did that and it didnt work, i tried in all the outlets in my house, let it sit for a day, and still nothing, and now i have to send it to microsoft for repairs, i wish it was as simple as ur video made it, but that just means ur powersuppply is going and u will need a replacement soon, or u will need to get ur xbox repaird soon too

[TheMrGFan]

Can someone explain me what is the red ring of death????

[joepoe1134]

@TheMrGFan there are certain ones, depending from 1-4 flashing red lights, usually the first 2 u can fix by urself, but if u get 3 flashing red lights like i am experiencing now u have to send it to microsoft for repairs and thats due to falty power supply.... the 4 flashing red lights means ur system is totally fucked and u will forsure have to send it in for repairs, hope it helped u

[TheMrGFan]

@joepoe1134 Thanks, I don't have an Xbox yet but someday I will buy one, I hope this doesn't happens to me :P

[jinx3rz]

u can also do the towel trick but it can fry ur xbox if u do it too long. mostly the red ring like that is fixed by unplugging it for a few minutes. FEMALE GAMERS FTW!! wat games do you play?

[awsomeyo1]

i get the ring of death allto i mean alot all i do it plug it out plug it back in right away it works everytime

[baDmofo182]

i got sick of my xbox crashing all the time so i ran it over with my truck, drug it through the mud in the desert did a burn out on it, threw it out of my truck at 60 miles an hour.....best game console ive ever ran over

[THEletLOOSE]

@baDmofo182 did it work after that?

[baDmofo182]

@THEletLOOSE haha well i still have it, its hanging up on the wall in the garage with a bunch of other crap haha. so i guess it made its self useful after all

[monstermasher666]

@baDmofo182 must have been looking for a while to find mud in the desert

[CarsonShaneyfelt]

Don't waste hundreds of dollars and time sending your PS3 away for repairs...fix it yourself! - youtube.com/watch?v=W6IqzZV3c0­k

[scrambaldfilmsJosh]

[blubbernugget625]

[xToXiCxPrESsUrE]

[dranoel1963]

[Gfosheezy]

I wish Fixing My Ps3 Was Easy As That...FML!

[henk19henk]

PC and N64 FTW !!

[spritedblue]

what's the red ring of death?

[supersteveg2a]

GO PC GAMING!

[MrGermanBratwurst]

@supersteveg2a Yes and then we have to fix PC because you download illegal games and with it virusses.

PS:This is sarcasm!

[supersteveg2a]

@MrGermanBratwurst lol. I understand it is sarcasm, but I just needed to let you know, (proudly) I have not had a virus in 3 years. And I do crazy shit with my computer. (nothing illegal.) :|

[MrGermanBratwurst]

@supersteveg2a

"I have not had a virus in 3 years" ... You think you had not...

THERE IS NO ANTIVIR Program that can kill EVERY Virus and Prevent of getting one...

So no one can have 0 Virus.

I use the best Anti-Vir program (G-Data) which can SEARCH Virus. Not prevent or delete. But this Program find 99,9% of all Virusses. And I get a Virus sometimes. Not a big one but some small. Only Linux doesn´t have Virusses :D They only have keylogger but for that is open-source Software :D

[supersteveg2a]

@MrGermanBratwurst Seriously. I haven't had a virus in 3 years. Just accept it. It is possible to be 100% clean.

[MrGermanBratwurst]

@supersteveg2a It is possible without Internet and No extern media saves!

You can trust me... I worked with virusses some time...

[supersteveg2a]

@MrGermanBratwurst This could go on for a while, so I'll leave this knowing about my own experience, and you can go on living with your own experience.

[MrGermanBratwurst]

@supersteveg2a :D Yes sorry xD But the thing I want to say: PCs can go faster down :D

[guest2424]

@MrGermanBratwurst uhhh, you are aware of Sandboxie right? run any app, even a virus, and undo the changes it does as if it never happened... get a blocker too like SpywareBlaster, that helps.

[MrGermanBratwurst]

@guest2424 OK As I said. PCs can go faster down! It´s true.

If it is because of Virus or other things. A PC is sam stable as XBOX or else. But o PC you can make 1000 things that can cause your PC to die. On XBOX there are only 2 things: Throwing your XBOX out of the window OR kill it other way like hammer ;).

And Sandboxie is not 100 % secure. There is always a way behind...

[DylPickleman]

That's a pretty good idea . . . you could also just email XBox, and have them send you a new one. They did that for me, as well as sending me a free one month Gold XBox Live card. Kept the hard drive, it was as if it had never happened. Even though it did happen and took like 5 months to fix.

[dragonballmanu]

hope its work you the only i find all are bullshit they say open your xbox 360 fack them

[trickstazSL]

i no how to fix 1 u fking buy a new 1 no wait u fk the xbox and buy a PS3

[Jmel12]

@trickstazSL i would rather fix the red rings then go buy a shitty online gaming consol with alot of shitty games. :)

[oIK1NGIMACIo]

@trickstazSL ps3 also has yellow light of death, but only sony can fix it. game inside ur fucked

[darkot6]

i put a blanket over it util it over heats and then plug everything else back up and it worked btw only keep your power cord in no disks or hardrives not to be in it.

[slayingfunfunfun]

GOD DAMMIT LOL

[Debilouuuuuuuuuu]

It did help fix mine :(

[xXmusicxjuniexX]

same thing happens to my brother, to fix his, he truns it off and then turns it back on with a contoller. if he turns it on manually, the red ring of death comes back.

[piiigrrl898]

Screw xbox, I play old school nintendo! xD

[WetManEatingSlippers]

lol I got a simpler way

Buy a ps3 :{D

[dragonballmanu]

@WetManEatingSlippers i got more siple way go to hell my ps3 are that i buy it that was fuck up i go to the shop and the say pay 754 dollar fack i pay bullshit money

[jellonator]

fix that shit the canadian way, find red green,he'd probs give you some duct tape wooot!

[superstan26]

my friend had a broken xbox 360 and this helped alot thanks^^

[lHateFashion]

I'm so lost. What is a RROD? My bro has a 360 and has never gotten one so lets just say i'm a RROD noob! haha.

[eGOsVolcore]

@lHateFashion its like, a red ring around your on button instead of a green ring, that shows that theres something wrong with the xbox and that you should get it fixed, but thanks to Matt, we dont have to get it fixed for money ^^

[hoyteetoyteetoy]

@lHateFashion its red ring of death lmao

[gwmwfirtbb]

Haha Thats awesome... I'm SO glad my cousin didn't know that. He got the red ring of death on his Xbox 360 so his wife bought him another one. That one got it too so he sent them both back to the company and they 'fixed' it... And he gave one to me. =^D

[mpersonwithaface]

I've never had the red ring of death happen to me. I have a fan that goes right on the back of the xbox so I can keep mine on for HOURS! =D

[mpersonwithaface]

I've never had the red ring of death happen to me. I have a fan that goes right on the back of the xbox so I can keep mine on for HOURS! =D

[ruestsummers]

Guys and there xboxes...

[garybuick890]

my 360 Red Rings all summer long ... -_-

[csalad]

Didn't work. I even 1 uped you, I tossed the power supply in the freezer......but then the popsicles i was making spilled all over it.....now i have a strawberry flavored frozen power supply.

[meganmurder22]

@csalad Your issue should be obvious.

[Andrea9514]

My friends brother just has a fan blowing on his Xbox at all times cause it's over heating that gives you the red ring of death.

[anatomiccyay]

@Andrea9514 I use the same thing, the faaaan.

[sage817]

do u really think people would get that? hahha ur like one of those guys who tell how to hack stuff. :)

[isaacsayshii]

Thats what i did when i got it! hahaha

[SuperEpicTurtle]

yup it sure is

[Danman88b]

That isn't the Ring Of Death. That is a different warning ring showing that your power supply has been unplugged while the console was on. there is a reason why it is called the Ring Of Death. it's because NOTHING can be done about it besides sending it to Microsoft. If it were as simple as unplugging the power cord than people woulldn't freak out about it.

[asasinsonic]

@Danman88b naw.

they would charge 80 bucks JUST TO CHECK IT.

[xXxTRYAGAINxXx]

@Danman88b a full ring means the power supply is disconnected... and 3/4 of a ring means its about to die...

[iTsZimxX]

@Danman88b hope u no that 4 rings r if the cable is unplugged 2 is u need to send it to microsoft 1 im not sure and 3 is wat he mentioned its just that ur xbox is to hot or overheated

[DOUGBUNBUN]

@Danman88b lol, no you can do the penny trick, ive done it :D

[JayKayBlade]

@Danman88b There is one thing you can do about it. The red ring of death shows that the memory card melted off and the Xbox can't reach it. How to fix it? You have to turn it over, and make it extra hot so the memory card will melt back on his place. If its ok it has to work fine after you've done that... Why does the memory card melt? I think Microsoft used cheap glue or something (i dunno :P), at least thats what they say... :P

Nope, i have no Xbox :P

[naryanr]

i don't have a 360 so i don't REALLY care, but surely if you've had it 3 times in one day that means that it's not actually fixed, you seem to have increased your chances of seeing red it every time you fix it, and all things considered you've still got yourself a dodgy xbox.

[Saskifried]

I don't have any RROD problems, but I do have the open tray error.. No matter what, whenever I change disks or power the console on, I have to beat the shit out of the top with my controller, and it magically reads the disk.. I've done this for almost a year now, and it still works.. The top of my Xbox has black marks from my controller.. Xbox 360 is a gigantic pile of shit.. I'm glad I build my own gaming PCs..

[musiclover4life1314]

Lol I made my brother send ours in to get it fixed :) We got it back in about 4 - 7 days.

[superryomafan]

iv never gotten the red ring of death guess im lucky

[NataOtum]

I had heard that the Red Ring was unfixable, though I guess that's a myth. Unless there are different Red Rings or something? (I wouldn't know, I don't own an Xbox.)

[jmskateboard]

@NataOtum There is many kinds of RROD

[dimbobscout]

Thats how me and my friend fixed his. :D

[paragonshadow]

You are going to want to move that power adapter away from your 360 that things a big ass magnate.

[atmac0]

I once got the red ring. i turned my xbox off and back on...

dunno why its normally so hard to fix,

[SaraBiderman]

Oh god I get it ALL THE TIME T_T

Thanksss :)

[automaticatube]

thanks! it really helped! too bad i don't have xbox

[MegDellaa]

ahhhh yeahhh

[x0kala0x]

ive heard if you wrap the 360 in a towel to cool down it works. but only for a couple of weeks at most, then it gets fucked again!

[maddog1920]

FIXIN THINGS WITH MATTG! xD

[Hsecrpntr]

@maddog1920 It needs to be a video!

[DylPickleman]

@maddog1920 Yeah! This should be the next Fixin' Things vid.

[MrEpicFail1]

actually that wasnt the rrod it was a similar type of warning system used when your power is unplugged quickly or other sorts and is no cause for alarm. this happens when the power goes out (in your case), you take it out of the plug too quickly or partially. you can tell if you have this type of error if the middle power button is flashing as well not just 3 rings like in 0:24. 3 rings is an internal system or hardware error and is bad. correct me if im wrong matt.

[maddog1920]

@MrEpicFail1 if you look on the other red rings of death it will be the same. Everything is the same like this video. So its not a hardware error or anything that you said.

[MrEpicFail1]

@maddog1920 no the rrod results in a crash because of the design problem put in by microsoft which strains the gpu (i wont get into the details). this is just a power brick problem its not all the same it can range from different errors caused by this design flaw ie error 72 which i had in my xbox some time ago. this is a power problem not a hardware problem not the same.

[ninjawulf21]

Wish that worked with my xbox :<

I had to completely take mine apart and replace some things. But it ended up getting it again a month later after i played RE5 with my sister. Opened it up again and it started smoking. Havn't touched it since.

ps3 ftw

[Nekkx]

It's actually not THE RRoD since that signal can have many different hardware faults as a source.

An overheated power supply is only one of many. The power supply of a friends Xbox360 is pretty much broken, keeping it cool doesn't help much...it still shows the RRoD

[mymomatemyhomework]

can i add you on XBOX live?

[igotthecold]

it would be funny if when he turned it back on, he got a red ring again.

[leekwl]

you haven't exactly fixed it. Your basically delaying it and it will get RRoD soon again

[Spencer27795]

Haha! The first time I tried to play this video it came up, 'An error has ocurred, please try again later'! =P

[ssandwproductions]

what your gamer tag matt! would love to play modern warfare 2 with you

[DianaxG213]

My GOD look at that tv o_o

[NikiPaprika]

fuck PS3 and Xbox. N64 FTW! O8<

[SasukesLittlePrinces]

@NikiPaprika

*spams thumbs up on you comment*

[MisterVidicus]

@NikiPaprika You, sir, are by far, the most logical person to speak in a PS3 vs 360 debate! I salute you!

[hellstar1221]

@NikiPaprika Super Nintendo bitches! <3

[NikiPaprika]

@hellstar1221 I still have my NES! ;D

[hellstar1221]

@NikiPaprika :D I love playing Super Mario Bros. when I'm drunk! :D :D :D

[TheBlah101]

@NikiPaprika wow where you for a few decades

[EpicMickey13]

@NikiPaprika

My N64 is on right now :D!

[Kaylak1989]

My friend got the red ring of death and instead of trying to fix it she gave up on it and started smashing it in the Metro parking lot doesnt cure the ring of death but it sure does cure anger and boredom issues :3 lol

[CrawlAngel]

@cantydiamont Obviously from the green rings that become red(around the start button)

[JessGoldfish]

1:18 awwwwwwwww kitteh

[TheZak2009]

@cantydiamont  Hardware failure.

[lolPaperclip]

Wait does the Ps3 do that?? I don't think so

[MisterVidicus]

@lolPaperclip No. The PS3 instead gets the "Yellow Light of Doom" one month after the Warranty expires.

[Kaylak1989]

@MisterVidicus ok wait for real it gets a yellow ring of doom or are you just pulling this persons leg cuz i have a ps3 and if that happens imma be pissed cuz im in love with this system lol

[MisterVidicus]

@Kaylak1989  Sometimes it does. It doesn't happen to all the consoles. Just look up PS3 Yellow Light Error on Google.

[Kaylak1989]

@MisterVidicus alrighty will do thanx hopefully my console is one of the lucky ones that doesnt xD lol

[Snowrod622]

@MisterVidicus they fixed that with the ps3 slim

[TheBlondeBabbler]

@MisterVidicus my brother has one. its never done that

[speedomike747]

PS3 FTW!!! this is why ps3 is way better.

[NHL2010er]

-Cough- ps3 for the win.

[SoopaClay]

@NHL2010er -Cough- ylod for the lose.

[NHL2010er]

@SoopaClay

Cough rrod happens more :)

[notsoseriousanymore]

i think not.

[NHL2010er]

@notsoseriousanymore

I think yes.

[notsoseriousanymore]

you think 'yes'? how about growing a brain, learning grammar, and get a taste.

[NHL2010er]

@notsoseriousanymore

How about shutting up , stop judging people online ( THIS ISN'T A SCHOOL) and get off YouTube. Oooh, I just used grammar on you! Tee hehe.

[notsoseriousanymore]

get off youtube? just because some low-life douche-bag on the wrong side of the 100 kg's told me to? i don't think so, retard.

[NHL2010er]

@notsoseriousanymore

Haha yeah thats what I am.

[NHL2010er]

@notsoseriousanymore

Haha yeah that's what I am.

[Zillamp3z]

ahha i tried it and the rrod still came back on even though i left it to cool off for 5 mins.

[MegaVideowatching]

i have a elete and the lazer in its gone already and i didnt even have it for a year yet

[itsdajamester94]

i have the rrod penny trick fix on mine and whenever i get the rrod i just towel trick it again and again
