Xbox 360 Troubleshooting
Xbox 360 Ring of Death
POSSIBLE CAUSES TO YOUR 3 RED LIGHTS
Most people experience the 3 red lights and an error code of overheating. This overheating of the 360 can be caused by quite a few things;- bad power brick (giving too much power to your system)
- bad placement of system (with no ventilation causing the air inside to not
flow well)
- bad motherboard component
- manufacturing/application (cold solder joints, loose bga, etc)
- bad quality thermal paste used on the heatsinks
But do not despair. I had the same problem. My daughters love their xbox 360 but one day they came to me full of anger after reading their manual and muttering something about The Ring Of Death. I thought it was some kind of game they had been playing, lol, but it seems this is a common error? Anyway, they wrote the console off without ever thinking we could maybe fix it! I had other ideas.
I searched around for prices to get it fixed but found that the cost of repair, plus the postage and shipping charges was, I thought way over the top, a bit of a rip off to be honest. Then I came across a solution which proved to be much more cost effective to me, and enabled us to fix the Xbox 360 at home. Delighted with the results I wanted to share this with you so that you can spare yourself
the hassle of sending your Xbox away for repairs.
Have a look at this and fix it yourself like we did, I promise it is pretty straightforward with easy to follow instructions, so if like me, you are not a technical wizard, don't be put off!
