- Too poor to afford the new Xbox One and you Xbox 360 has the red ring of death just follow these simple instruction and you will be able to play all you last-gen video games
i like how these small channels have genuine solutions but the famous channels help in no way.
exactly
Exactly like tf
tf u mean he literally just fucked up the xbox even more cus of forcing it to overheat😭😭
@@linkedius2532 well idk
Who is tf?
Wow, you made it overheat so that it would detect that error over the general hardware failure. Clever!
No. It's just thermal expansion.

Freaking legend right here... just saved me all four of my Xboxes in time for the holidays. Much thanks!
Great job buddy. I personally have never owned an XBOX past the original, but I've heard about so many "fixes" that were EXTREMELY risky to your system. I give you much much credit on this fix. If i was able to give you 2 thumbs up, well hell i would! 5 stars to you bro! Great job and keep up the great work
About those risky fixes; Yeah I did the "towel trick" a few times, where the overheating (which this is based on too) was done in a more extreme way by wrapping the powered on console with a towel and letting it heat up for 15-20 minutes, then power down and let it cool down entirely for another 20min or more.
(Personally I wouldn't recommend anything cold to speed up the process to avoid condensation)
It did work to keep playing for the night and Microsoft still did trade the console when the "cardboard coffin" arrived and I sent it to be replaced, so... risky, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
(Though I do not recommend doing this to anyone who might read this and IF you do, at your own responsibility, make sure you pay attention to it at all times)
4:35 Then you trying to help me fix my xbox
This actually worked for my 360. It did the same thing: was on 3 reds, then went on two with the q-tips blocking the fans, then booted up normally once cooled down. Thanks, man.
My fans ain't even spin. 3 red rings. Only system in my village. We pray for it work.
What?
the fan how you say do no go vroom and make rotations.
SHALOM I agree
SHALOM my fan isn't spinning either
SHALOM ya same FUCK DIS SHET IM OUT
I have 4 rings.
*Edit I didn't know you have to have the AV / video cable plugged in a display in order for the rings to go away. This was years ago just to see if it turned on so it wasn't full hooked up.

My uncle came when I was younger and was gonna try to fix our xbox (he said that he knew how to do it but he actually had no idea lol) and litterally slapped the xbox back to existence. Works like a charm to this day!
Wow
I’m trying to get the old thing back to play some bo2 zombies again
I heard people do this and it actually works idk if it's guaranteed but it's a way
I checked the battery pack as you said. It works for now, I'll see how long it'll take. My 360 is from 05 and this is my first red ring encounter. Thanks for this video.
right as they cancel making xbox 360's i get Red Ring
Oh that sucks hopefully mine doesn't get that

A savior during this quarantine, thank you
you’re still on 360 during quarantine???? i’m sorry to tell you but it’s time for a upgrade or two
@@bean7633 Get out of here.
I still have my ps3 and got bo1 it's so fun
@@chococatplays4899 Nice. Did you hear about Sony shutting down the PSN store on PS3/Vita?
@@SuperHitman55 yeah I think it's in June or July oof
Hey man, thanks so much I nearly had a heart attack but I realized it was just the power cord. So thanks!
lol
Even though I do not own an Xbox 360, this video was very helpful. You should be proud of yourself by helping people solve the red ring of death problem!
Thanks Casey
@@ABucketofJake You are welcome! I don't own any Xbox consoles. I'm a PlayStation guy, but I like Xbox too. My brother owns an Xbox One. Even with the red ring of death, I think the Xbox 360 is the best Xbox console. What do you think is the best Xbox console.
Genius mastermind😂❤ this should be remembered by generations to come
why is this in my recommendations now?
why didnt i see this video like, 5 years ago?
Mate its 2019 and I’m doing this
Big fact

Why are we here, doing this?

You saved my life man I can finally play my childhood games
@Jay Hayles idk
i found an xbox 360 outside someone threw out. it had the red ring and i did this video and now it works. thank you
My power adaptor had had an orange light literally for as long as I can remember and this is the first time the system has RROD'd on me.

+Javier Vargas yep
+Javier Vargas no
Squeakers certainly love Xbox
im here after being a fan of your new content for a few months
This was just perfect!! After adding new cooling paste it still had the 3 rings of death, this trick solved it. Thx!
will a frozen pack of fries work?
FreakingSweeeet doesn't matter
i hope you're joking
Samw😂
marede
As long as they aren't steak fries they should work.
Thanks jake! been waiting for another tutorial for 7 years now.
I’ll do one in another 7
Holy crap, this trick actually f*cling worked! My 360 has been down for about the last 5 years. I seriously appreciate you so much bro, I'm gonna play the old smackdown vs raw videogames now lol
Did it actually work because I just stuck them in my Xbox and am waiting for it to have 2 red lights
@Felix Allstadt well it worked and then I shut off my Xbox and it red ringed so every time you turn it back on you will need to do it
@Felix Allstadt ok that’s what I was thinking thanks
Wow... it worked... holy shit lol my 360 been in storage for almost 10 years
WICKED GLOBALISTS same
Daiiku. naw it got patched in the last update
Same bruh
@@diegobrando9468 Is your xbox 360 Still working and do you have to do this everytime the console has the red ring
For any future readers; Yes this "still works" and no it's not a matter of patching.
The idea is to deliberately overheat the system by doing this OR the "towel trick" which is a bit more extreme, so thermal expansion makes the component that fails re-attach the connection.
Basically "re-soldering" it, but .. not in a literal sense.
Sometimes doing this can make it last for quite a while after, sometimes it can RROD soon again when the thermal temperature changes expand and retract the component ever so slightly and it fails again. So this is by no means a permanent fix, but ... did work in a pinch to keep playing on the day it happened, back when I had my MANY RROD issues way back in the day. I wouldn't recommend using anything frozen to cool the console off faster after doing this though, as in that you run a risk of condensation; Moisture building up inside and that eventually causing another issue.
(I'm here just for nostalgia lol)
This actually works it helped my 360 and saved me money too
I’m just watching this for the memories 🥺😞
same!

@@zeejayx6444 same
Same
Remember when ppl used to say you had to wrap the Xbox in a towel for it to start working again😂
Worked once for a bit managed to sign in I though I fixed it but then it happend again lol
Yeah that works with the same idea as this does; heating the console which causes thermal expansion to expand the component that fails with heat so that it might re-connect back again for a while. Until the thermal expansion and retraction causes it to lose connection again at some point.
I did the towel trick a few times just to get to play for a few more hours on nights where I just wanted to game on for a bit longer, before sending yet another console to be fixed/replaced to Microsoft.
Sometimes it worked for only a few hours, sometimes longer.
Instructions Unclear:I stabbed a dolphin with the peas.
Wait
it works just as he said it would so 🤦🏾♂️
I dunno why this comment is so funny. Ha.
Old Post and 5 years on. Did the xbox go in the junk?
I think it’s in my garage actually
@@ABucketofJake 👍 it might just be worth something one day.. 😊✔️
How long will this work before I have to actually re-apply thermal paste
Roses are red violets are blue this ain't clickbait so my problem is solved
(This is horrible i know)
Varga Levente just say it worked pls never talk again
That poem is good
Is your xbox 360 Still working do you actually have to do this everytime you turn it on and off?
It's supposed to rhyme
It wouldn’t have been as bad if you hadn’t said that it was
Lmao I do not know what it is about you But you actually help and make it kind of funny with your recording skills xD
Jeez your channels come a longway
Thank you James
So it's Christmas Eve and I mostly got my son Xbox games. fucker broke. tried this and it worked. I'm so relieved. Thank you man! Thank you thank you.
Love your video bro ❤
thank you sooo much!
it was easier for me cuz i have 2 power bricks (one from gamestop and a old one) the gamestop light was orange and i had the red ring of death. but i tried the old one and i got a green light and now i can play with my xbox 360
Hey with my xbox 360 s i have a "brick" with a tiny circle with orange and green but it turned red , the xbox 360 is closed i cant open it , it is like broken . What is happening?
I have the arcade pro. My console turns on perfectly for 2 minutes and then the console shuts down and I get the 3 red rings of death. But my power box also turns solid red when the console shuts down. How do I fix that??
Try unplugging the power cord from the power brick. Just wait a few seconds and it should be back to normal.
NintendoFan69 didn't work
Ruben Perez Is the light still red.
+NintendoFan69 yea
very big thanks!!! i wasn't playing on him 6 years! and finally i can use my XBOX and ps4
I cannot believe it. Thank you so much it freaking worked. I put mine in the freezer. After he called off, I came back, plugged it back up and it worked then after I left it for a while unplugged I plugged it back up and it still worked. Thank you.
What do I do if it’s my battery ?
May I ask, what kinda TV was that
XD nice question
Who is watching in 2023? (I am)
Yeah
"do a little prayer and a ritual" oh you didn't have to tell me that
BRO I LOVE YOU BRO YOUR THE BEST UA-camR I EVER SEEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH BRO YOU HELPED ME FIX MY XBOX GOD BLESS YOU
Does this actually work 🤔 Just Wondering cause I don't wanna break my xbox 360 on accident 😔
I just had to put a grilled cheese on it, it worked instantly!
There's an other way that is basicly punch the Xbox until it works
Who has the old xbox 360 in 2015?
Me. Mine JUST got red ring of death after owning it for nearly 8 years. So sad.
+David Perla dude I have a XBOX 360! i got it from my cousin!
I got a ps4 for 500 only the real call of duty fans will by it will it be u lets find out):
+David Perla add me on ps4
Him because it says thePOORgamer.
Does it work with a black Xbox 360 s or just the old one and does it work with an hdmi Xbox live one or just the av cords
i know this is stupid question but where do plug the power supply? 220v or 110v?
Yoooo this actually works!! Thanks bro! :)

Thx for helping me it actually worked no for real it actually worked there's no more red rings Thx for helping me😀
I wanna take my 360 out from the attic and turn it on but I'm afraid it'll blow up
I kept mine in a storage room for years and I set it all up and it works fine, don't worry it won't blow up lol
💣 fuckin aye
Hello Stales I have a XBOX 360 and I used to play it when Tefoth standard bearer and there was a green dot on the screen and operates a possible solution to this problem and thank you
Question : @ 3:53 you added some ..frozen vegetables or similar just asking what if the room is to hot and the ice turns into water and drips into the console ?
Hahahah im just messing with you good job bro nice use of technological problem solving lots of thumbs up from this dude right here
This works on one ring too dont freak when u see it turn from one to two
Really
@@christfollower5405 yup my xbox is running perfectly again since i did this
@@cristinasuarez5810 I got try it n add me onnhere
thanks man awesome vid! also mine just stayed fixed so thats dope too!
yes man it worked thank u so much
If you liked it so much sub
hey
Is you in picture wiwith sexual organ's
@@ABucketofJake it doesn't work, it breaks the console, spam account
I received a free Xbox 360 with the red ring. Havnt investigated the problem yet, but I do remember this trick, when I try it out I’ll see what happens. Good refresher vid
That’s my problem my chord is orange but is it really an issue with the e 68
I had do that and my Xbox storage also increased, that's wow
loooool
You fixed the Red Ring of Death? GREAT. Can I now have a tutorial, how to avoid death please?
Don't play fore to many hours
dj1298rotik have a fan on it
dj1298rotik get a off brand Hyper skull hard drive they keep the red rings away as when the rings appear the hard drive will reset the Xbox and all you have to do is put your account back on
Dont die
Dude has the original (not black) Xbox 360. 😂 I feel ya, the struggle is real out here
Rogue Sniper Gaming what is xbox
can it be name brand peas or does great value work?
Can you tell another
No opening
3:27 M8 YOU STOPPED THE FAN OBV ITS GONNA BE HOT
That’s why he said to let it cool down -_-
I fear no man, but that thing...it scares me!
when I got the red ring of death in just turned it on and off for a while and it worked
Actually?
I tried the towel trick it didn’t work
my power cord is orange all the time should you change it
Why am I watching this I don’t even have an Xbox I have a ps4
I just turned mine off everytime and it worked again ;)
same
When it was happening I just plugged it out
Prick maybe it was because it overheated
Same
The simplest way to get rid of red ring of death: Throw you Xbox away and switch to PlayStation
yessss
That was actually really cool but when u put the peas on the Xboxs head I was gonna comment "thanks for curing my sick Xbox" but my Xbox is a Xbox one so there was no point commenting that XD
For me it is the same!! Could it work if I format the hard drive? Please answer quick thanks.
how da fuk did u find that out u were like oh it would be a good idea to put earcleaners into the holes and stop the fan then put phukin frozen peanuts on the xbox
that
Quit saying "Of Death" there not gonna kill you it's a fuckin xbox
He is practicing Regular Show "Death quondo"
Maybe they say of death cause it sometimes kills your XBOX? *shrug* idk
Its not for the guy, but for the Xbox :/
+CoolB The Fox
0
it's the red ring of death the Xbox died
Everytime I turn on my Xbox, my fan automatically turns off by itself.
+Shujinko 超 = you might have broken your xbox cause you put it in too far
But, the guy in the video put it far in.
Sorry for the late reply but, your fan might be broken.. If you shoved the que tip in to far it would not damage the Xbox what so ever but if you leave it in to long it will... Pretty much all I'm trying to say is DO NOT TRY THIS TRICK.. Good luck
Mine has one ring, does this method still work
What's that thing that's plugged in front of ur xbox?
ALL THE FUZZY PARTS *SNIP * ARE GONE
Didn't work.
B-Rad sometimes clicking the subscribe button will fix it right up
Psypulse Actually just found my original Xbox from like 5 years ago. I've watched a few other videos while I've been waiting. I like it! you have yourself a new subscriber!
I clicked it three times and then i clicked it three more times to make sure it was fixed :)
Try to cool down your Xbox because 4 rings means your Xbox 360 was overheating.
lol
buy a xbox 360 slim. problem solved
after a few years microsoft released xbox 360 slim with no red ring of death. my xbox has 3 years now
thats the one I have and it still got the red ring of death
ULTRASPARTAN 32704 weird
Ive had my slim for four years and had no problems with it, because I actually know when to give the little guy a break.
+Haven Ferrer I've had my xbox 360 elite for 7 years works like a charm.
will this work on my a hole because I had the five alarm burrito down at Joses and now I have the 5 rings of death
I have an orange solid light on the power supply with the red ring flashing. Is this a power supply issue ?
