Discussion Fixing RROD

[DDave]

I was looking at this tutorial http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/xbox-360-tutorials/92550-permanently-fix-3-red-lights-scar.html

I was thinking just how doing the perminatly fixes all red light issues ?

This seems pretty basic for such a common issue with the xbox ?

Just the removal of the x clamps fixes it ?

Sorry to ask so many questions just i wanna know the inns and outs before i fix my xbox

Thanks guys

If you follow that tutorial, you will have a working 360 that will remain in good shape

tell you the truth being honest,

many ppl use to stay u can fix the problem by wrapping a towel around the 360...

i thought it was Bullcrap, but i tried it and it seriously works...

you might want to try

oh and the more you wrap it the more it works...

The towel trick will **** up your xbox even more, it can fry the cpu

Yeah thats true, i didnt try the towel trick as i was positive it would destroy the xbox.
Xbox is in the process of being fixed now, then im gunna flash it

Oo... I like your idea... Buy a RROD box, fix it, then flash it.

Ima do that once I get some cash.

Yeah be carefull tho, some people try and fix it themselfs and severly mess up the xbox leaving you with it ... which you then have to sell on if u cant fix it etc...

So im guessin ur going on ebay, message the seller asking him is the warrenty still valid, if it is buy it nd send it back LOL! a new xbox for 30 job dun.

If the warranty is still good I doubt they'd be selling it on eBay with RRoD though...
