Help Fixing My XBOX 360?

[raulfd4]

My Xbox 360 still has the RROD after fixing the heatsinks. What else can I do or try to fix it?

I have an older Xbox 360, and it recently got the three-light RROD. I have since replaced the power brick, as well as performing one of the 'fix the RROD' type fixes which involves removing the X-clamps as well as using silver thermal compound on the connections. Unortunately, neither of these have fixed the issue. What else could the problem be? And is it fixable?

:unsure:

stupid question, but have you tried unpluggin it and pluggin it back in? there are reports of power surges causing a red ring warning that looks very similar to the RROD. also, check out the wikipedia page about the RROD.....it seems pretty well written for a wiki page and last i looked at it, i think i remember it offers suggestions before you completely loose your mind and go ape shit.

Throw it away and buy a real system.

The best thing to do to fix this is build a time machine, travel back in time, and slap yourself in the face before you buy a 360. It may put some sense into you.

Seriously, I remember reading that at 3 bar RROD is actually an audio problem that was mistaken for the RROD by many
