Comment on Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death Repair by David Pringle.
I have a 360 Elite. I was quite perturbed to turn my Console on, only to Find the 3 Quadrants light up red, As i`m a little Too familiar with the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) on PCs I thought if it is a hardware failure, I started by taking the first bit of hardware off which was the HDD.
I turned the Console back on and it worked fine.
Ran a new system setup and turned it off, Replaced the HDD and it`s worked ever since. It`s just finding which bit of hardware is Causing the the problem.
So if anyone has the 3 quadrants light up, 2 Bottom and upper left quadrant, Providing it is lying down, Then try the above solution.
