Update: It’s been roughly 15 months since I used the 1 hr Xbox 360 Repair Guide to fix my sons broken Xbox 360 and to date he’s had no issues with his games console. Now he wants me to buy him an Xbox 360 Elite, I don’t see the point while his current Xbox 360 is fully working? I’m not one for upgrading a games console for the sake of upgrading. We’ve still got a Playstation 2 and still play games on it, though sucks the shooting games (with guns) no longer work on newer TV screens :-( Used to enjoy playing Time Crisis and House of the Dead with light guns from a Playstation 1 :-) Xbox 360 Red […]

Xbox 360 Red Ring Fault
So the 360’s other than the Elite that are brand new 2008 models still have all the same problems?
As in if I go buy an arcade to replace my busted 20 gig 360 I’ll probably get the same problem in 1-3 years???????????
Xbox360 Elite RROD
Just a head’s up to those in the comment section:
Elite’s Die Too. I am sitting here waiting for mine to come back from microsoft. They get either a complete hardware failure (3 RROD but controller ports 1,3,4 are lite up) or the ever prominent 4 RROD which is a complete death of the circuits.
If either of these happen your sending your xbox360 back if you want it work properly again.

How to Fix Red Ring of Death Xbox 360
My son has been using his Xbox 360 on a regular basis since the repair and so far no problems reported. It’s well over a month since I repaired his console, so looks like it’s permanently fixed the red ring of death fault (I just love the name of the fault, red ring of death :)).
Couldn’t be happier, saved quite a bit of money on repair bills and also helped a neighbour fix their broken Xbox 360 last week.
His console stopped working over the summer, but he couldn’t afford to get it fixed (or buy a new one), so had been without a Xbox 360 for months (he’d put it in the attic already as a lost cause).
Turned out his console had exactly the same fault as my sons, so was very easy to find the fault and fix it: took me less than 40 mins from opening the first screw to turning the console back on to find it working normally again.

Xbox 360 Elite Red Ring of Death!
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.

Xbox RROD Overheating GPU
The RROD is caused by an overheating GPU, not the hard drive. The thermal grease tham was used by ATI on their card was a low quality type, that when mass-applied by machine on the production line, does not spread properly.
Consequently, over time, as the GPU gets up near 200*F, the thermal grease hardens and cracks, removing the heat barrier between the GPU and heatsink.
This causes the GPU to reach the temperature threshold at which point it shuts down and shows 3RR.
The solution described in the guide is to take it apart, remove the bad grease, apply some Arctic Silver (the type used in PCs) and re-assemble.
Will fix problem.

RRoD (Red Ring of Death) Xbox Fault
RRoD (Red Ring of Death) is usually caused by frequent temperature changes. Basically, after a while the solder begins to crack, and eventually gives way.
This isn’t the case though if you 360 has been manufactured from May 2008 onwards, where iI think it has been manufactured in a different way. So if your Manufacture Date is before May ’08, it’s likely you’ll recieve RRoD at some point.

Xbox 360 vs PS3
all of the 360s have bin rubish dont buy 1 get a ps3 they are perfect
PS3 Glorified DVD Player
Except that they’re not. The game library is not nearly so extensive, and it lacks a strong enough collection of exclusives to be considered “perfect.”
It’s better to struggle with Xbox console errors and a few meltdowns than to spend $400 on a glorified DVD player.
