I recently got a new xbox elite in nov 2009, so its not that old, i had a power cut the other night , and then it went on to this 3 red rings and it worked after that, im assuming it has got something to do with the heatsink overheating, but red ring doesnt no occur when you have a power cut, it occurs when the soldering on the motherboard starts to melt with the heatsink, any1 know if this going to keep happening with the red ring , i,e just randomly ?

i much really appreciate it :smile:

No. When youre power turns off while you're xbox is on it'll go straight to Red Ring. It's nothing bad, but it happened to me the other day when we had a bad and the power cut out then back on. I had Red Ring. I just turned it off, and turned it back on. Also, the Red Ring you get it blinks or at least mine did when the power cut out.

no thts a CAUSE for it
3 rings mean hardware failure and if ur power cuts off it thinks there was a hardware failure
