This happens to all xbox 360 owners,there is an easy way to get it fixed at home with out having it repaired. Get 2 Q-tips stick it on the back of the xbox where all the holes are. The Q-tips block the fans,this causes to make the xbox hot. Wait a few minutes and you'll see two red rings. When you see them take out the Q-tips and turn off the console and then turn it back on. It will work. If not then try to shake it or hit it lightly on the side.

It sounds like a Red Ring of Death, which basically means there's something wrong with the unit. There are many reasons why you can get an RRoD, but it's usually hardware related. You can find out more information on RRoD here and and what to do from Xbox Support here. You can also contact Xbox support at (800) 469-9269. Even if your 360 is out of warrant they may still cover repairs for red ring errors.

Hope this helps

This is considered the "Red Ring of Death". If your Xbox is under warranty call Microsoft and see what options are available to you to get that repaired. Even if it is not under warranty, still call Xbox. They can give you a list of local repair facilities. You can also go to their support website at: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200905/20090526153814125/CMS_-_S5230_UM_OPEN_Eng_FINAL_Rev.1.1_090420.pdf

Good luck!

    I'm sorry. I pasted the entirely wrong URL. You can find the CORRECT support website at: support.xbox.com

    I suppose I should re-read the advice before I post it. Ha. Good luck and hopefully it won't cost you too much.

I finished fixing the red rings and my 360 was working fine but it doesnt turnm on now. WHY?

Is your power supply getting power (ie. is the light yellow). When you hit the switch on the (XBOX), does the power supply turn light turn green? If not, the XBOX is not recognizing the switch or the power supply is bad.. If it is, then you may want to recheck your red rings fix. The parts you've installed may have come loose and shorted something out.

If your trying to turn the XBOX on with a joystick, you may have to resync them. Try using the XBOX switch on. If it turns on with the XBOX switch and not the joysticks, it could be the wireless component in the XBOX or the joystick batteries.


**NOTE: I am saying XBOX but I mean the 360.

I soldered ana chip & tightened gpu chip. after switching on the set green light appeared for 5/6 sec. changing to 2 red lights. 2nd time only red lights came . Now it's not turning on.

1. Let your Xbox 360 console cool. You may have to wait several hours for your Xbox 360 console to cool enough. Don't turn on your Xbox 360 console when the console is hot. 2. Verify that your Xbox 360 console has enough ventilation and that the fans are operating. For more information about ventilation, see the "More Information" section. 3. If the two lights continue to flash red after you try steps 1 and 2, contact Xbox Customer Support. For more information about how to contact Xbox Customer Support, please visit the Xbox Support (http://www.xbox.com/support/) Web site.

Xbox 360 elite 1 red light

When you get any of these messages appearing on your screen with one red light flashing on the ROL of your Xbox 360 console that's an indicator of a hardware problem with the console connection to one of the parts connected to it as the hard drive or cables.
So, first disconnect all power and AV cables from the back of your Xbox 360 console and also unplug the power cord from the wall socket, wait for a minute then reconnect them all back and try to turn on your Xbox 360 console once more.
If that doesn't work, it seems then to be a fault with your Xbox 360 hard drive so turn off the console again and remove the hard drive then turn on your Xbox 360 console without the hard drive, supposed then to work fine, it might be an intermittent issue and when you reconnect the hard drive your Xbox 360 will work fine all after, or it will just work fine without the hard drive so it will be then definitely a fault with your Xbox 360 hard drive so call Xbox 360 customer support to exchange the hard drive for you.
The number for Microsoft is usually listed on the back of any game manual.

I hope I was able to fixya problem, and Happy Gaming!
