I've recently had red rings for my Xbox360. I used the towel trick describe on youtube and i worked. Everything was good except that the screen doesnt work. The sound and everything worked but the screen didnt. I thought it might be the TV so i tried another 1 but thats not it. Any advice?
If it's under 3 years old and you've never opened it up then Microsoft(1-800-4MY-XBOX) will fix it under warranty. Otherwise you'll need to do the x-clamp fix. I've used the kit from http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/ring_of_light_x-clamp_fix.htm to fix this problem for a friend. Good luck
Don't use the xclamp fix. it's only going to last you couple weeks if you are lucky. Go to your local hardware store and get a heatgun. open up your xbox and remove the heatsink on the GPU(one with the flat heatsink). set your heatgun to 300-350 degree. Keep the heatgun about 2inches above the GUP and move the heatgun in circluar motion for 90 seconds. let it cool down and apply new thermal paste the put the heatsink back.
I fixed hundreds with the method.
