Yes, most likely the hard drive was not affected by the red rings of death.
no
1 ring means an memeory problem replace the Hard Drive
It doesn't have to cost anything. There are multiple ways on the internet to fix RROD like polishing the hard drive or unplugging the whole console (every plug in it) and then putting them all back in.
I've seen it a lot, either over heating, hard drive failure or system failure. I'm sure you know what over heating is. but system failure is when something breaks inside your console like the disk drive or a wire (please correct me if I'm wrong on that). and a hard drive failure this has happened to me a lot, its basically your hard drive is connected fine then for some reason it gets disconnected. if you get the ring of death here's how to tell what went wrong. hard drive (flashes) system failure over heated or loose AV cable hope this helped see ya!
Unless something was saving to your hard drive prior to the RRoD, no. It only affects the 360's internal hardware.
you cant
The One Ring Of Death refers to error code E74 in an Xbox 360 console. It gets its name because after the error occures, there is one blinking red light in the front of the console. Fixing it requires requesting your Xbox to be serviced and sending it into Xbox. Go to Xbox.com/support and click on request repair to start.
that just means the console is overheated
It means that your hard drive is about to shut down then all the lights will light up.
I'm pretty sure you have to mail in your console to Microsoft it happened to my friend but if u hacked or modded your console they won't fix it
Older Xbox 360 consoles are notoriously unreliable and may have crashing issues and corruption on the built-in hard drive. In addition, the warranty coverage for the "red ring of death" problem is only valid if the console was properly registered and any subsequent owners update this information with Microsoft. As such, buying a used Xbox 360 is a very risky proposition.
throw it off a cliff and get a ps3
