How I Fixed My XBOX360's RROD

For many, the Red Ring of Death (RROD) is the END of their XB, thanks to Microsoft's substandard manufacturing and parts.

This video shows you how I fixed my XB when it got the RROD. Unfortunately, there are many causes of the RROD, so my way may not work for you.

If nothing else, you'll learn how to open your XB and look at its guts!

Ugh - sorry if I removed your comment -- the #@$ reply link is right next to the remove link.

Way to go YouTube, I mean, Google.

what did u fix?

u only took it apart

[PlusAbout2]

Often the RROD is caused by crappy component soldering. By taking it apart, I caused whatever component that was shorting to "work itself out."

Note the description - simply taking it apart WORKED FOR ME. It may not work for you.

u didnt fix anything u just took it apart

[PlusAbout2]

By taking it apart, it corrected the problem.

This probably does the same thing that "baking" the xbox in a bunch of towels does (other people have videos on that technique): the components heat up and settle in better to the Motherboard holes.

Who knows? Like I said in the description, at least you can see how to take it apart if you want to mod it.

Chuck out the x-box and get a ps3 it's simple

Well, This is one way to void the warrenty.

Btw. If you get the RRoD, microsoft will replace your xbox for free along with 3 months of free xbox live.

@foist101

I don't care.

[foist101]

Literally the only problem I have encountered with my 360 on your list is the RROD and doing the towel trick has since permanently fixed it.

Problems: Red Ring of Death Horrible Disc Reader Scratches up games and ruins them often Freezes easily If you barely touch it or move it while it's on it will literally destroy whatever disc is inside of it (if the game is running) PS3's features that the Xbox doesn't have Playstation Home Blu-ray player Built-in WiFi Internet Browser Motion controls on some games Ability to run linux Ect I like my Xbox 360 more because of the game library and Xbox Live, but the PS3 just has better features.

[foist101]

Could you please list these amazing features and these unbearable problems?

Also, four letters: YLOD

[pangusgeorge]

i dont think theres anyone out there who's gonna pass through all these

[davgig]

They sent me a new one. It came in the original box like it was bought at the store. Even came with two games (LEGO Batman and Pure.)
