Mate, you're a lifesaver. I was *this* close to buying a new console until I saw this video and found out my power brick is stuffed. I shall get back to you when I order a new one and it arrives so I can tell you if it worked or not.
i bought a new brick from gamestop and i regret it cuz gamestop cheats u so it’s either it doesn’t work or gamestop scammed me as usual the brick had the red light and my xbox still had it ;(
WOW you sir get a like! I just recently decided to get my old 360 out and it started Red ringing. I knew it had to do with the old power brick but I was afraid it was completely bad. After going through NUMEROUS videos and searching for replacement videos online I come across yours. Turns out the connection is just loose between the xbox and power brick and so when I held it into the xbox when powering on it worked fine and continued to do so! I wish I could give a super like or something for you actually knowing what your talking about! Thanks a lot sir!!!
Had the three lights on mine... Had no idea what was wrong until you mentioned the power supply light being green. I never noticed it... Mine was orange when I checked it after watching... New power supply on the way. Thanks.
I just knew that this channel is the one that I needed to summon in order to fix the RROD ( red ring of death ) of my xbox 360. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much 👊🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋😎
Had a Falcon revision 360 in 2008 that was able to display the 4-light Ring. Doesn't really matter if the console has HDMI or not - what matters is if the console's default video output is via the AV port (aka you don't use HDMI for anything). If you use HDMI for video, then yeah, you should never get the 4 red lights even if the AV cable is being used for audio.
you're such a smart kid. I was having a 4 ring of death and the issue was my power cords not plug in completely. I almost throw away my xbox360. Thanks for this video tutorial.
Thank you so much, my console red ringed today and I got really scared. I watched multiple videos trying to fix and nothing was working. Thanks to your video I realized that the power bar was the problem! I am so grateful for that. Thanks a million
Correction to know. Orange doesn't mean a problem on your brick, it means it is on standby mode, which is that the console isn't on, so it isn't a problem..
Thought my xbox was a paper weight. I never thought to look at the power supply since it did turn on. Saw the red light and bought a new. It now works. Thanks!
in his case, its the power supply. Because the tray wont open, that means its not getting power,and if any other parts were messed up it would still have power.
I am sitting here at 2am wondering if I could get my old xbox to work and I find you. I have yet to try your method but I will edit this to say if it works
I’ve had an Xbox 360 for 11 years now and it red ringed like this. I just checked this video and this prevented me from having a f***ing heart attack. Thx so much!
Thanks for the video, I had the three fields RROD and a red light on the power supply. Got the 0-0-0-1 code and tried with a different power supply that I borrowed from a friend. First try - same thing, second - also same thing. On the third try however it booted just fine, then I tried it again with my original power supply and now that works too. So now I don't know what to think, but I'm glad it works.
thanks for that video, which actually made me fix my console, it had a red light on the power brick for about a year and after plugging it out and back in its working now, thanks!
If you have a retro xbox 360 (AV only), and you get the 4 red lights, you need to check the connection. The inside of the AV adapter might be broken. The way I fixed it, I just unplugged it and plugged it back in. If this doesn't work, try the hammer method because it can also mean your Xbox is bricked.
thanks for the good video bro makes the red ring seem less terrifying. waiting for an auction 360 to arrive and a 2nd hand power supply. preparing myself for a red ring
this shit cause because MS done a poor job soldering the heat-sink properly. they done a awful job. i sometime think all those 80 million xbox 360 they were bragging about selling Xbox 360 lifetime, i think 40% or even more were us buying two or three xbox 360 for this shit. i just power on my Xbox 360 today n that shit showing me red ring of death now. that means i have to manually open it n fix it myself. it will cost me 50$ n lot of work. Buying the paste n cleaning the whole console n putting it back together n hoping it will work. this is a really difficult job. its not like PS4 which is really simple. playing for 4 years the fan was making huge noise, i just clean up couple of days back just for those noisy fan sound. if u hearing fan sound n overheat for PS4, dont worry. buy Arctic Cold or MX5 thermal paste n follow ifixit.com, its a really easy process. the fan sound will be gone if u do something clever. just think what will make those fan sound go away. take the fan out clean it thoroughly then put some ... using a syringe. After i done that my PS4 using sound meter showing 40DB. this is my trick.
it does make sense cause the pins get dirty and may need cleaning with contact cleaner the power pins are cheap as well the plug needs to be seated tight
Watching for the fun of it. My Xbox froze so many times yet I never got a red ring. I thought I would each time but when I turn it off and back on it normally starts up lol
Great tip about the power brick staying orange when the console is turned on means it's bad. Thought my Resident Evil 360 had gone bad even though it hadn't be used in a long time. Hopefully a new power brick will get it working.
I removed the hard drive last night when my console did this, but it didn’t seem to have any effect. I left it unplugged until I could get back to it today, and removed the hard drive again and the console booted. Powered it down, reattached hard drive and booted fine! Which is strange because my power supply was doing exactly what a faulty power supply would do. Glad I didn’t buy that one on eBay!
Also common misinformations I keep seeing are that rrod related to gpu (e74 or 1022)is caused by heat inside unit or since ms did not make X-Clamps press heatsink way it squeezes graphic chip. It is not. If very lucky it is caused by bad av cable. If it's gpu related then it is caused by cheap low quality lead free solder used on early xbox 360 models and it was heat and cooldown cycles that caused it to come loose evetually not overheating. Seen same happen on phat ps3 and some older desktop/laptop graphic cards. For it only good fix is get chip reballed by professional or proper reflow. Towel or fan jamming trick is not reflow and it works by warping mainboard and making temporaly contact and also causes permanent unfixable damage to mainboard. Replacing X-Clamp with bolts will temporary fix cracked bga connection but also causes board to warp and risk for gpu to crack. So better not believe or try online tricks to fix e74 caused by graphic chip and better rather take it to professional for repairs.
sorry about this but your xbox might have some components fried if it wasn't in a power surge protecter... soooooo yeaaaa ask somebody for a replace or something I guess
The reason that the power failure occurs is because on the power cord there is 6 pins and there is a 12V 16A rail, 5V 1A rail, and the two last pins are used for signaling the power supply to turn on I think that when you loosen the connections from the power cord the pins that signal the power supply to turn on get disconnected, causing the power supply to shut one of the two rails off and disconnecting power from the disk drive, etc and that is why the power light starts blinking because if the DVD drive is dead the power light blinks (sometimes) Sorry if this is long
It's not the model number or version of the dvd drive the motherboard on the dvd drive is married to the board of that specific xbox so you would have to swap the motherboard with the new one
I still see a LOT of misinformation on this issue, I have "repaired" a LOT of 360 hardware when the console was still relevant. There is absolutely no fix. Only measures you can take to extend its life, a re-ball will by far last the longest, maybe a year or two, but eventually, every Xbox 360 manufactured before 2009 will suffer a catastrophic CPU or GPU failure. Preventative measures such as mounting a heatsink fan or altering the X-clamp setup can help. But this issue is created by a design flaw with the chips used. Originally was thought to be caused by heat, but it wasn't, the issue was caused by the type of BGA used. It doesn't like getting hot, then cold repeatedly, it results in cracks in the solder. This is why applying heat by either wrapping it in a towel or using a heat gun directly on the affected chip appeared to fix the issue. For collectors who want an original "fat" 360, the "Jasper" board revision is the one you want, by this point in 2009, Microsoft had fully solved this issue
Agreed. All my jaspers are still going strong. Falcons are okay in a pinch, but definitely stay away from Xenon and Zephyr boards, though I do have a Zephyr that's good, but it,nevrr gets used
Really the only fix for a gpu issue it to swap the gpu. Also, overheating the console does not reflow the solder, the console will not get hot enough to melt the lead free solder and even if you could I'd kill your xbox. The problem is the underfill. And late falcons are also reliable
Thanks dude! I followed all the steps and was able to revive a 2006 phat xbox I got for free from a friend that just bought a new one after the RROD. The only difference was that i removed the xclamps and used a screw and washer repair kit i bought years ago
Manny Castillo no problem! Glad I could help! Plus 360 games are dirt cheap now so for pretty much the price of 1 new game and you got a full collection! Enjoy!
Back in 2014 my Xbox 360 red ringed. The power supply light was red- but I didn't understand what that meant at the time so I replaced the whole console.
Xbox 360 they can put red wing if they if they get ring Wings they might die the battery if it if it don't works then try to unplug your things then if you turn it on again it will not come red ring but when you do a video about that then it will get rid of ring and the man was doing Red Wings but don't put Red Wings it will my dog battery for every a lot lot lot lot times then when you turn it off
I have never had the RRoD on my 360, or anything like that... But I have had my controller (white) go into (i guess) the RRoD, none of the lights were green on my controller, instead all 4 were red, but then I took out the battery and put it back in and I've never had that problem again... If I had screen shots of it I would of shown proof of it, but since I was like 8 or 9 at the time and I didn't have a phone or camera, I don't have any proof of it happening.
Dude just put it away in a closet and spend a couple bucks on a newer model. That old model is a useless pile. You have more financial leverage owning a 12 pack of quilted toilet paper.
Thanks I got one out of the dump when I went in to the Electronics Ben I seen a Xbox 360 and the control for it was there and the and the chords for it was there and there was was to games for it one was in the case and the other one was in the Xbox I popped the front off and stuck. a paper clip in a hole to open it it and the game was in it the power brick has a Orange light on it now I can buy a new one for it and I can use or sale it
I've got a 2008 hdmi falcon model that I bought online for £4 and a couple quid postage. I think the previous owner didn't plug it in properly and didn't check the code. I remember it it arrived and I tested it and the system worked first time and it has never got rrod just the plug issue. I got it almost 3 years ago. Still works
3 rings and 0001 code can be also caused by blown caps like in one of my consoles. PSU is good, i checked it on another console and it worked without any problems
bro, thank you so much, i was just about to get rid of my xbox 360 because of the red ring of death, but it just turned out that it was a problem with the power brick and not the console itself. thank you, your a lifesaver.
You can also learn this too by reading the manual for the system it looks like he did good on you laddie because he’s exactly right but I never understood the code thing at all
I was playing forza horizon, then it suddenly freezed then crashed leaving my tv screen blank, I look on the xbox and it has the 3 red lights. We tried what you said, but the ring seems to not go away. What to do? 😇
This video is designed to help diagnose the issue, and what is causing the RRoD. If the error code leaves you with a hardware issue on the console itself, then you'd have to do your research as to how to repair or replace the system.
It's actually good that the 360 has it where it will show the rrod cause on my ps1, if the connection is loose, it won't do anything and makes me fear that it actually broke down when it didnt
The power brick thing isn't quite right. If there is a power problem in the console (e.g. capacitors, mosfets,...) the power brick will also turn orange 😉
I was building in Minecraft and my game crashed. A tip for anyone who wants to know if their Xbox crashed or is just lagging for a long time: When your console freezes up, and you can't press anything, disconnect the battery pack. If it goes from one green ring to none, then your console is just lagging. If it still shows a green ring even if you disconnected the assigned controller, your Xbox requires a reboot. After rebooting, it froze on the intro and showed the Red Dot of Death. (I'm on slim) I rebooted it again and it froze earlier on the intro with the red dot. On the third reboot, my console froze upon the intro, and it had this weird transparent padded texture across a still frame from the intro screen. After those series of boots, it stopped booting at all. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my cables, leaving my console to cool for a few hours, but no cigar. The console has had a history of crashing over prolonged periods of gameplay, so it could be a bad component. I only had it as a replacement console for 2 going 3 years as my old Xbox, a hand-me-down from my brother, had a disc tray that kept opening itself and stopped reading certain games that had a clear disc, even if they were installed from the disc! I'm starting to think my old Xbox was better.
I have never got the RRoD. However, my Xbox 360 has been acting weird, so I feel like I may get it soon. Edit: After watching this bid, I thought hmm, I am gonna play Xbox 36p now. And I turn it on to find those STUPID 3 red lights. Right after I said I was probably gonna get it soon. Edit 2: I watched this, got the code, and found out my Xbox had a circuit board malfunction that caused the system to red ring. Luckly I was able to get it fixed. But the console STILL gave me 3 red lights. WHY!! Edit 3: Ok, my 2nd RRoD was a completely busted power supply unit. I replaced it. Then power it on but have me 1 red light. Should I just buy a new Xbox? Edit 4: Ok, RRoD 3 was caused by a disk drive error. A part of a disk get stuck in the drive, causing my RRoD 3. Now I turned it on, and...... WORKING AGAIN. However, I lost some apps (circuit board fix caused this, I think). The total cost: only $348.59. Total time: About 2 weeks.
Hey man, could you help me out? I pressed the sync and the eject button three times, but instead of having 1 flashing red ring, it had 3 flashing red rings. Does this still mean that the power supply is messed up or is the system toasted? Thanks :)
1 red light: E74 2 red lights: Over Heating 3 red lights: General Hardware Fail 4 red lights: AV Cable is unplugged I tried to match the amount of rings to the amount of words I put.
Intellitech Studios man can you help me... I have 3 flashing red lights (rrod) and one green(at the center) but sometimes console works perfect and sometimes have 3 red lights. Its not the power supply and I think its cooling and I think to get more faster fans for more cooling. It is good idea?
Terrible day at school your brain is fried and you just want to go home and play your console but this the red ring of death happens this guy gets you covered
Fun fact: The console can RROD when the power supply is fully plugged in and in stand by. It happens when the 360 can't generate its internal power rails before it tells the power supply to turn on.
Tek that was because you got the xbox 360 that had the oldest models. New models are well taken care of and don't have any glitches now, when the ps4 might encounter a blue screen/ pulse of death and also much more. some disks are sometimes not read (probably).
Hello, you really seem to know what your talking about. Hopefully you can help me. I have ONE light that's red and the power bar is green. What's an easy fix please?
Hi. I have a fat Xbox 360 (arcade version with a 20GB HDD and no HDMI) which I didn't use for some years because I also have a Xbox360 slim with a Kinect sensor. So, some weeks ago I tried to connect the fat Xbox which was fine when I put it away, and I got the 3 RRODs! I already opened the console and thought I would need to heat the chipsets but now I think that the problem might be with the power suply. If I press eject with the console off, the tray doesn't open. The fans start to move but stop less than a second after. Same thing if I power on the console with power button. The led in the power supply is fixed yellow all the time. I can't remember if it should be green after the console being turned on. Are there any repairs for power supply? Or should I get a used one? Do you think that the power supply is causing my 2 RRODs? Regards.
I forgot to say that the power supply lights green for a second but as fans stop and 3 ROD blinks it goes orange again. It is green for less than a second. Only if I had a friend who could borrow a power supply... But all of them already sold the fat xboxs. The only ones still with xbox 360 have Slims....
For 3 years I couldnt get my xbox to work all i had to do was plug it into a different outlet THANK YOU!!!!!!

My working 360 has orange light on psu so not sure that info is accurate.
+Mike Clarke the psu is always orange when the console is off, if it's on with the orange light is where the problem is
Well that's really useful for diagnostics when the console won't turn on, good job microsoft no wonder they lose billions every console they release.

4:35 - It wouldn't matter. The DVD drive is keyed to the board. Make/model doesn't matter.
Will an Xbox start up without it? Will it still red ring? I’m getting an elite and I want to know.

Not true. The cause of the red ring is flip chip failure because of the wrong underfill being used, not the solder
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I THOUGHT I HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW DRIVE AND A WHOLE NEW BOX BRO IT WAS JUST THE CABLES THANK YOU
My Xbox just turned off while I was playing, and it went to the Red Ring of Death. It turns out it was a power surge.
sorry about this but your xbox might have some components fried if it wasn't in a power surge protecter... soooooo yeaaaa ask somebody for a replace or something I guess
that happend to me on a jasper then i just unpluged it and pliged it back in and its working fine.
The reason that the power failure occurs is because on the power cord there is 6 pins and there is a 12V 16A rail, 5V 1A rail, and the two last pins are used for signaling the power supply to turn on
I think that when you loosen the connections from the power cord the pins that signal the power supply to turn on get disconnected, causing the power supply to shut one of the two rails off and disconnecting power from the disk drive, etc and that is why the power light starts blinking because if the DVD drive is dead the power light blinks (sometimes)
Sorry if this is long
this guy is brave and smart
Mine has an issue when after a certain amount of time it freezes, no red ring, and when I shut it off and turn it on it boots up 5
It's not the model number or version of the dvd drive the motherboard on the dvd drive is married to the board of that specific xbox so you would have to swap the motherboard with the new one

Preventative measures such as mounting a heatsink fan or altering the X-clamp setup can help. But this issue is created by a design flaw with the chips used. Originally was thought to be caused by heat, but it wasn't, the issue was caused by the type of BGA used. It doesn't like getting hot, then cold repeatedly, it results in cracks in the solder. This is why applying heat by either wrapping it in a towel or using a heat gun directly on the affected chip appeared to fix the issue.
For collectors who want an original "fat" 360, the "Jasper" board revision is the one you want, by this point in 2009, Microsoft had fully solved this issue
Agreed. All my jaspers are still going strong. Falcons are okay in a pinch, but definitely stay away from Xenon and Zephyr boards, though I do have a Zephyr that's good, but it,nevrr gets used
Really the only fix for a gpu issue it to swap the gpu. Also, overheating the console does not reflow the solder, the console will not get hot enough to melt the lead free solder and even if you could I'd kill your xbox. The problem is the underfill. And late falcons are also reliable
Thanks dude! I followed all the steps and was able to revive a 2006 phat xbox I got for free from a friend that just bought a new one after the RROD. The only difference was that i removed the xclamps and used a screw and washer repair kit i bought years ago
Manny Castillo no problem! Glad I could help! Plus 360 games are dirt cheap now so for pretty much the price of 1 new game and you got a full collection! Enjoy!
The bolt mod isn’t a real fix
We was going 10 year solid till today and you helped thank you .
Really struggling here
The only time it did that is when I smacked it when it kept freezing on black ops 2 and it still works
Back in 2014 my Xbox 360 red ringed. The power supply light was red- but I didn't understand what that meant at the time so I replaced the whole console.
I think I am kind of lucky,I have a original Xbox 360 made 2009 and a Slim made 2011 and NEVER had the RROD
Hylian Link In the Castlez indeed
I have always Feared the RROD but I liked the video so I one gets the RROD I can come back to this video.
Xbox 36
Xbox 360
Xbox 360 they can put red wing if they if they get ring Wings they might die the battery if it if it don't works then try to unplug your things then if you turn it on again it will not come red ring but when you do a video about that then it will get rid of ring and the man was doing Red Wings but don't put Red Wings it will my dog battery for every a lot lot lot lot times then when you turn it off
i bought a broken phat 360, it's exciting to watch videos like this.
Easy RRoD fix: Get a PlayStation
I'm jk, I like both.
OOOO this wor- *ps3 shows yellow light*
I have never had the RRoD on my 360, or anything like that... But I have had my controller (white) go into (i guess) the RRoD, none of the lights were green on my controller, instead all 4 were red, but then I took out the battery and put it back in and I've never had that problem again... If I had screen shots of it I would of shown proof of it, but since I was like 8 or 9 at the time and I didn't have a phone or camera, I don't have any proof of it happening.
Thank you for making this video, I got a refurbished original xbox and I'm definitely using this guide just incase it happens
This video needs to be at the top of the search results

Great information, was able to use the code to determine my rrod was caused by bad connection at RAM, now to learn how to reflow the ram.
+Mark Burlingame glad I could help! 👍
Dude just put it away in a closet and spend a couple bucks on a newer model. That old model is a useless pile. You have more financial leverage owning a 12 pack of quilted toilet paper.
Thanks I got one out of the dump when I went in to the Electronics Ben I seen a Xbox 360 and the control for it was there and the and the chords for it was there and there was was to games for it one was in the case and the other one was in the Xbox I popped the front off and stuck. a paper clip in a hole to open it it and the game was in it the power brick has a Orange light on it now I can buy a new one for it and I can use or sale it
Nice!
I've got a 2008 hdmi falcon model that I bought online for £4 and a couple quid postage. I think the previous owner didn't plug it in properly and didn't check the code. I remember it it arrived and I tested it and the system worked first time and it has never got rrod just the plug issue. I got it almost 3 years ago. Still works
3 rings and 0001 code can be also caused by blown caps like in one of my consoles.
PSU is good, i checked it on another console and it worked without any problems
Also the PSU had a red light when i turned on the console with blown capacitors (2 capacitors blown from what i remember)
bro, thank you so much, i was just about to get rid of my xbox 360 because of the red ring of death, but it just turned out that it was a problem with the power brick and not the console itself. thank you, your a lifesaver.
@8:03 I don't have that sync button on mine, and it's the newer one with HDMI
you got the slim dont you
You can also learn this too by reading the manual for the system it looks like he did good on you laddie because he’s exactly right but I never understood the code thing at all
I was playing forza horizon, then it suddenly freezed then crashed leaving my tv screen blank, I look on the xbox and it has the 3 red lights. We tried what you said, but the ring seems to not go away. What to do? 😇
This video is designed to help diagnose the issue, and what is causing the RRoD. If the error code leaves you with a hardware issue on the console itself, then you'd have to do your research as to how to repair or replace the system.
Intellitech Studios, Thank you very much bro! 🤟🏻
@FordTaurusfan 2020 U need somebody with a reflow or reball station.
I don't even have an xbox but this guys ranting is so oddly entertaining
HIS FACE IS PRICELESS
It's actually good that the 360 has it where it will show the rrod cause on my ps1, if the connection is loose, it won't do anything and makes me fear that it actually broke down when it didnt
The power brick thing isn't quite right. If there is a power problem in the console (e.g. capacitors, mosfets,...) the power brick will also turn orange 😉
I was building in Minecraft and my game crashed.
A tip for anyone who wants to know if their Xbox crashed or is just lagging for a long time: When your console freezes up, and you can't press anything, disconnect the battery pack. If it goes from one green ring to none, then your console is just lagging. If it still shows a green ring even if you disconnected the assigned controller, your Xbox requires a reboot.
After rebooting, it froze on the intro and showed the Red Dot of Death. (I'm on slim) I rebooted it again and it froze earlier on the intro with the red dot. On the third reboot, my console froze upon the intro, and it had this weird transparent padded texture across a still frame from the intro screen.
After those series of boots, it stopped booting at all. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my cables, leaving my console to cool for a few hours, but no cigar.
The console has had a history of crashing over prolonged periods of gameplay, so it could be a bad component. I only had it as a replacement console for 2 going 3 years as my old Xbox, a hand-me-down from my brother, had a disc tray that kept opening itself and stopped reading certain games that had a clear disc, even if they were installed from the disc!
I'm starting to think my old Xbox was better.
Thanks for this video, I have an Xbox 360 E that has never had RROD but this is very accurate and helpful for anyone that does get it
Sometimes when it rrods a temp fix is to push on the bottom in the middle where the GPU and CPU is while booting it, it may work
I have never got the RRoD. However, my Xbox 360 has been acting weird, so I feel like I may get it soon.
Edit: After watching this bid, I thought hmm, I am gonna play Xbox 36p now. And I turn it on to find those STUPID 3 red lights. Right after I said I was probably gonna get it soon.
Edit 2: I watched this, got the code, and found out my Xbox had a circuit board malfunction that caused the system to red ring. Luckly I was able to get it fixed. But the console STILL gave me 3 red lights. WHY!!
Edit 3: Ok, my 2nd RRoD was a completely busted power supply unit. I replaced it. Then power it on but have me 1 red light. Should I just buy a new Xbox?
Edit 4: Ok, RRoD 3 was caused by a disk drive error. A part of a disk get stuck in the drive, causing my RRoD 3. Now I turned it on, and...... WORKING AGAIN. However, I lost some apps (circuit board fix caused this, I think). The total cost: only $348.59. Total time: About 2 weeks.
Crazy, glad you got it worked out!
Lmao it would have been cheaper to just buy a new xbox and take the old hard drive memory unit and put it in the new one
Thanks for making this this will be helpful for my Xbox 360 s
Code is 0020 what’s that?
GPU_RST_DONE signal missing after seqUnReset time passed, replace GPU
I found a 2006 Xbox 360 on eBay that said rrod and it had no av cables so I got it and got av cables, and it worked!
Hey man, could you help me out? I pressed the sync and the eject button three times, but instead of having 1 flashing red ring, it had 3 flashing red rings. Does this still mean that the power supply is messed up or is the system toasted? Thanks :)
The code that you get will tell you the issue
Thank you for this! Very clear information!
The n64 should be the one on the top shelf. Move that junk over.
Elvis Preston old ass boy
Cheers for the video, came in very handy all these years later :)
1 red light: E74
2 red lights: Over Heating
3 red lights: General Hardware Fail
4 red lights: AV Cable is unplugged
I tried to match the amount of rings to the amount of words I put.
Smart!
Who is watching from 2020 yall the ring of death is back i found it on my xbox series x but what ever he said worked for me thank you!!!!!
lol i missed the old start up screen
Team FORTNITEYT you're gonna love the next video
Intellitech Studios man can you help me...
I have 3 flashing red lights (rrod) and one green(at the center) but sometimes console works perfect and sometimes have 3 red lights.
Its not the power supply and I think its cooling and I think to get more faster fans for more cooling.
It is good idea?
Fresh what's the secondary code? The video refers on how to get a secondary code and I can determine what is wrong
Thanks! This was helpful. Turns out my old xbox had the AC jack to the powerbrick loose.

Fun fact: The console can RROD when the power supply is fully plugged in and in stand by.
It happens when the 360 can't generate its internal power rails before it tells the power supply to turn on.
I have a xbox 360 halo edition with 2 red lights what's wrong
overheating, try cooling it down and allowing plenty of ventilation.
It’s *hot*
Ventilation power is low allow XBOX 360 system to cool
OJ Fargo overheat?
OJ Fargo Simply overheated.
R.I.P my console. The console is done. It was the first thing I ever played sad to see it go
It's fixable
PlayStation 3 is a million times better
Okee dokee
PS4 has the blue pulse of death so enjoy mate
Tek that was because you got the xbox 360 that had the oldest models. New models are well taken care of and don't have any glitches now, when the ps4 might encounter a blue screen/ pulse of death and also much more. some disks are sometimes not read (probably).
Xbox 360 slim is way better
*THE YELLOW LIGHT OF DEATH*
thanks it really helped

Hi. I have a fat Xbox 360 (arcade version with a 20GB HDD and no HDMI) which I didn't use for some years because I also have a Xbox360 slim with a Kinect sensor. So, some weeks ago I tried to connect the fat Xbox which was fine when I put it away, and I got the 3 RRODs! I already opened the console and thought I would need to heat the chipsets but now I think that the problem might be with the power suply. If I press eject with the console off, the tray doesn't open. The fans start to move but stop less than a second after. Same thing if I power on the console with power button.
The led in the power supply is fixed yellow all the time. I can't remember if it should be green after the console being turned on.
Are there any repairs for power supply? Or should I get a used one? Do you think that the power supply is causing my 2 RRODs?
Regards.
Definitely try another power supply to check and make sure.
I forgot to say that the power supply lights green for a second but as fans stop and 3 ROD blinks it goes orange again. It is green for less than a second. Only if I had a friend who could borrow a power supply... But all of them already sold the fat xboxs. The only ones still with xbox 360 have Slims....
