Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death Repair Guide

This is a guide for how to fix your Xbox 360 if you get the 3 flashing red lights that indicate the "red ring of death." My 360 had the 0102 error code, but this fix works for many, if not all, of the "red ring" errors. To find out what error code your box has go to http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=472553. I have used this method of repair to fix Xbox 360s with all the error codes listed on that site except for 0001, 0002, 1003, 1010, and 1022. I do not show the 360 working afterward (or not working before) because I figured that either way, you have to trust me that it was "red ringed" before and that it worked after. I could have shown you before and after, but I also could have done that and just switched consoles. I did neither. This is a real fix and it really worked in the case of the console in this video.

Hi, I need to use ONLY that washes? Can I use just screws? Please Answer

[sc2gt]

@Antaury97 I do not understand what you are asking. Could you please try to restate the question so that I understand what you need?

[JustinDSL42]

wat cleaning agent do u use? and then how do u clean the agent off? plz help

[sc2gt]

@JustinDSL42 The video contains all the answers you need. I used Goo Gone as my cleaning agent and I wiped it off with a rag. The screws are also talked about in the video.

This video was excellent and I followed the directions. At the point of testing we had two red lights not three. I left it on for about 1/2 hour and then it went to 3 red lights. So, I added a bit more torque to the screws holding the heat sinks thinking it wasn't tight enough. Then it started working. After using 1/2 hour we let it rest overnight. Today we used it about 3 hours with no problem. Great video.
