XBox 360 Red Ring Of Death

The popular misconception is that it is an overheating problem that results in the dreaded Red Ring of Death however it is not the main root of the problem. It doesn't matter how long you play it your Xbox 360 should not fail, and it should not give the Three Rings Of Death!

After some deep research and dissecting of several 360s it has been concluded that it is actually an engineering flaw, an electrical malfunction that has been built right into your Xbox 360. Fortunately the solution is simple but only if you know how to properly correct this flaw.

What is the solution? Before we dwell into that lets take a look at another popular solution that Xbox 360 owners have been using to cure the three red light blues.

The infamous "towel trick". How does it work? You simply wrap your 360 with a towel, let it run for 20 minutes and then magically your 360 works again. The Three Red lights vanish, green lights back on.

Basically when you wrap your 360 in a towel for 20 minutes it causes it to overheat, thus re-melts the solder fixing the electrical connection and voila your 360 is running again. But little do people know that this will actually cause more damage to your Xbox 360 then it does any good.

During the process of your Xbox 360 heating up like an oven you've now caused all sorts of damage to other electrical parts of the Xbox 360. So while your 360 may work now don't be surprised if a few days down the road the xbox three red lights start flashing once again.

"Hey my console is under warranty, I am not worried about it"

You'll still have to pay for shipping ($25 minimum). And there's the packing up to take into consideration, too. You need to make sure your Xbox 360 is secure for it's long and tedious trip to an industrial zone in McAllen, Texas. Where on earth is that? It is not to relevant where it is at, the point is, you won't see it for 6 to 8 weeks. Even worse if your console is NOT under warranty, you are looking at about $140. You might as well buy a new refurbished xbox for $50 dollars more! At least you would have it a lot sooner than the long wait and $140. Pick your poison.
