Ahh the 3 red rings of death basically your screwed. I have a solution thought call this number 1-800-4myxbox they are microsofts professionals and they will give you things that might fix but usually dont. They will then send you a box in the mail you put your console in send them it and they send you a new one because you should be covered under the 3 year warranty, if you arent then you pay a small fee. so call that number tell them your problem and they will take it from there ok

XBOX 360 Red Light error, or Red ring of Death RORD is a very common issue, and can happen anytime. There are different Error numbers related to RoRD, and appears on screen starting with "E".

Blinking red light.Checked all cables. I replaced Hard drive...still problem exists. Wondering if power supply could be problem

When one light from the four lights ring itself changes from green to red, it means that a general hardware failure has occurred or is imminent. Blinking of one red light with an error message like E66, E67, E68, E71, E74 or E77 means a repairable problem while the one red light blinking without error message means some critical or irrepairable problem. The problem can be avoided by restarting the Xbox 360 console but if you have not received any error message with one blinking red light then the problem is irrepairable. The console will behave the same way and you should understand that one or more of the hardware components in your console have stopped functioning due to hardware failure. If you receive an error message with one red light blinking then the problem is reparable and the system will definitely start working. It means that there is some hardware problem with the Xbox 360 console connection occurring due to the misplacing of cables in the ports. Turn off your Xbox 360 and disconnect all cables, now reconnect the cables and switch on the Xbox hope this helps.

I got one red light in the bottom corner and an error message with e74 i checked the guide for wat it was related to and it said it was my hard drive but i unplugged my hard drive and the problem is still...

  • here is info on the red ring of death that i know about and the solutions
  • 1 red light means the e74 error
  • 2 red lights means the xbox is overheating and was shutted down automatically
  • 3 red lights means hardrive error
  • 4 red lights means that something is unpluged
the problem is not in the hardrive itself, but its that the hardware scaler chip is damaged. now, microsoft is giving a full refund to people owning units with this error or so i hear. so you can rebuy a new unit payed by microsoft and your problem is solved

Red light flashing on my xbox

you have the three rings of death. im surprised you dont know what this is. common to all microsoft xbox users.its a hardrive failure which happens after overheating and long gameplay and etc. 3 out of the 4 rings light up and blink. the only solution to this is to send it in to microsoft and theyll fix it for you. free if you have warranty but if u dnt then idk. keep on pressing the power button because in some cases after a while it comes green.

This is either an error code or the 3 red lights of death. If it is the 3 red lights, and not an error code, you will be under the extended warranty. If it is an error code, hope u are under your origional warranty.
