X-Box 360 Red Rings Options

[Simba]

Aight so I got them this morning.


I heard rumors about the, but I wanna get the facts. What do they mean?

^ I'm so getting that the day it comes out.

Anywho, if you have the red rings first off take off your a/v cables and power cord out and take a dry cloth and rub off the back, there could be dust or whatever back there and could be a reason for it. (this is what microsoft will you tell you to do.)

Next its really up to you, if that doesn't work and you still have the problem. Call microsoft. If your still under warranty, then they will send you a box and you just pack up your system and send it back and it doesn't cost you a thing, just some time and patience.

Or you can try to "towel trick", I've seen a few people do this and each time it has indeed work.

As for me, I left my system on and went out to eat. When I came back my system had reset itself, and was still on. So I cut it off, then turned it back on, and ta-da red ring gone.


Oh, and it depends on how many coordinates is red, if you have the full ring it could just be a simple problem, if its 3 then its more than likely a motherboard problem. The newer system they have come out with now have new motherboards so they actually don't have the red ring problem anymore, or as much?

Final, if you have the money go buy a PS3 XD They're great.
