PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION!!!

HERES A LINK TO ALL THE RROD ERRORS AND WHAT THEY MEAN AND POSSIBLE SOULOUTIONS! : http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=484726

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY!! THE LONGEST IT WORKED FOR ME WAS 2+weeks...THAT WAS THEN LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO BUY A NEW XBOX 360 ELITE...

QUESTIONS BELOW:

So why does this work?
I discovered this when i was fiddling around with the xbox, i believe this works because the X clamps on the back are not tight enough, and when you apply pressure on the back of the xbox it places the clamps back into the correct position.

It does not work? (read further for SUPERGEEKS METHOD)
Make sure that you are placing your hands in the CENTRE of the xbox not the side(s). Also make sure that you are appliying enough pressure (not to much to break through the xbox, but enough that you can feel the case bend).

IMPORTANT:
IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH, PLEASE DO NOT STAND ON YOUR XBOX! Instead try to use your knee or elbow... you may break your xbox if you stand on it and i do not take responsibility if you do.

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT THANKS!

ALTERNATIVE IF THIS METHOD ALONE DOESNT WORK!
youtube.com/SuperGeekNo1 Method:

The Towel Trick

1. Set two think towels

2. Disconnection all cables, HDD, MU etc... except the power cable.

3. Turn on the Xbox, (you will see 4 red rings but that's normal as the AV cable isn't plugged in)

4. Place the Xbox fully on the edge of the towel and wrap it fully nice and tight, if you have another towel repeat step 4 again

5. Leave the Xbox for 20-30 minutes

6. After the 20-30 minutes check the Xbox, if you see two flashing red lights then u can turn it off if not leave till you do.

7. Ok this where most people would just leave the Xbox to cool off but this where 66Night method comes in, Place the Xbox upside down and Lean on it very hard when you think you applied enough pressure stop, (the Xbox can take a lot of pressure).

8. Leave Xbox to cool off for thirty minutes, I just broke open my window and left the Xbox on the window pane but make sure you keep it on the side the right way up.

9. Once cooled plug it back in with all cables and Eureka you should a fully working Xbox no crashes or freezes and most especially no RROD

Good luck hope this works for you

  • Bro thank u thank batman came out 2 day and i got rrod yesterday

  • @ChrisAR7 have fun :D

  • I got 2 questions: For the info, i have had my Xbox 360 for about 2 years and I have never had any red rings of death. So my questions are: What causes it and what is happening when it has the rings?

  • @Duel53 there are DOZENS of issues that can cause this problem. The main few are;

    *overheating 2 rings

    *av cable not connected 4 rings

    *overusing it 3 or 1 ring

    There is a guide in the description that describes all the rings and how to fix them.

  • Do you make RCP to xbox? :D

  • @dorriGa What the hell is rcp? do you mean cpr lol
