Best Answer

You have RROD Or RLOD aka red ring of death or red light of death

Meaning that your systems CPU chip has over heated and melted the solder around it creating the soldering bridges, soldering bridge is when 2 different components melt into one.

So what you can do now is go on YouTube and find guy named Gilsky he shows how to take PS3 and Xbox apart and how to resolder the CPU and it will work again.

You can send it to Microsoft and they will charge you money unless its still on warranty.

Normally, red lights signify that the 360 is having trouble reading a disc properly, or has overheated. In these cases, either reinsert/clean the disc properly or keep the 360 off for a while, respectively. If the red lights blink three times, then you are a victim of the horrendous Red Ring of Death. The only fix for this is to call Microsoft for support, or shell out $200+ for another new console (try to get it fixed first, by all means).

SYMPTOMS Three lights flash red on the Ring of Light (RoL) on the front of your Xbox 360...Three lights flash red on the Ring of Light (RoL) on the front of your Xbox 360 console. The upper-right quadrant light is the only light that does not flash red.

You will see the following indicator on the front panel of your Xbox 360 console, which will repeatedly flash on and off:

If you are experiencing this problem, you can submit a console-repair request online. However, before you submit your request, first try the following two steps to verify the problem: # When you turn on the console, look at the light on the power supply.

906103 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906103/ ) Troubleshooting your Xbox 360 Power Supply when the light is not illuminated # Turn off the console. Wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the console again to see whether the problem re-occurs. Back to the top

If it doesnt come on it might have red light of death

what happend was you xbox overheated and it melted the CPU chip on your board, well didnt melt the chip but the solder around it there for it made soldering bridge connecting by melting 2 different component slots of solder into 1 so you will have to take it apart and resolder it. Or you can send it to Microsoft and they can fix it for ya for some $$$ out of your pocket but mostly they just give you new one and you loose all you data and saves so i did mine my self.

Your xbox console will no longer play games and needs to be sent in for service. Call 1-800-4my-xbox or go to xbox.com/support to have it repaired. It is free to have the red ring of death repaired no matter when you warranty expires.

What do you do when your xbox360 has 3 redflashes?

If your Xbox has just the 3 red lights - not the total ring - then turn off your Xbox, then unplug everything, then replug it all in. When I say everything, I mean every cord that is connected to your Xbox and this should fix it.


Your Xbox360 has red eye and is quite when it starts and has three red lights but its out of warranty what do i do?

run the serial code at xbox.com/repairs and see if its still within the 3 year warranty. as long as your get the red ring of death within the 3 years of purchasing it, they will replace it for free. other then that, you either have to a.) get a new 360 or b.) shell out like $100 for them to fix your current one.

3 red lights of death. It means that your Xbox is saying that your GPU has overheated and failed. Send it back to Microsoft and they will fix it.


How do you fix 4 red lights of death on Xbox 360?

4 lights is NOT the red ring of death. Different sets of lights mean different things. The RROD is 3 lights (general hardware fault). Having 4 red lights means the AV connection is not working. First thing is to unplug and replug all the AV connections. If that doesn't work, the next step would be replacing the cables Hope It Helps


My xbox360 fell over while running and now when you try to start it it turns red how do i fix this problem?

My first reaction would be to send in to Microsoft. The red ring means something is wrong with your Xbox. When you start your Xbox: Does it make hardly any noise? Does the power icon come on? Does it have 3 lights or 4 lights? Question 1 symtom: Your internal fan is damaged or switched off. Question 2 symtom: Your CPU hardware internal database is damaged or disabled. Question 3 symtoms: Usually 3 lights means it's a problem that is urgent and 4 lights means that it is broken. Three lights is like disabled or switched off and four lights means damaged. If it ever switches from 4 lights to 3 lights it's probably a fan problem. One other problem: If your CD is still inside your Xbox, disassemble it and take it out. My bet is that if the CD is there, it is broken. If that is true, check for shards of CD and collect them together to see if anything is missing
