Goddamit. My xbox 360 red ringed. I guess it was pretty freaking hot today. Dang it.... Anyone know how to fix the damn thing? I heard if you send it into Microsoft, that just stick an extra heat sink in but don' actually fix the problem and also, that the replacements they send can RROD also... Any ideas? Anyone know how to fix these things?

 

youre in luck! i actually run a repair and mod service out of my house! where are you from? PM me the details n ill give u the prices n such.

 

Yeah its pretty easy to fix most rrod are just cause by slight heat warping which makes the ____y contact points "snap" loose soldering gun and 15mins and its fix

 

This means you spend to much time gaming! hahah j/k

 

did you check your warranty on the xobx? I had the same thing happen to me. Microsoft extended warranty to those boxes who get RROD. I just called in and had mine replaced. Pretty painless

 

ooooooo the red rings of death.......

 

why dont u jus send it in to xbox, its free and shipping is free. xbox.com and jus go from there. i sent mine in 2 months ago and got it back in 3 weeks

 

I've heard horror stories where it take 4 weeks to get your replacement - the replacement comes already RROD'd. You send the replacement to get replaced. Another 4 weeks. They got their original 360 back from MS. Their "repaired" 360 RRODs again 1 week later.

 

Hahaha im on my third xbox allready .just call ms and get a coffin sent to you then bam get in a new one in a few weeks...but check up on it the last one i got took them 3 months to get it back was lost in the service center for some reason...hey ktothesass can ya fix psp screen's??my son cracked his and want to get it fixed..im located in san jose..

 

eh didnt have a problem when i sent mine in a few months ago, it took about 3 weeks to get back and that was it, now my xbox is quieter then ever and doesnt overheat or anything. no problem here

 

did u also try the towel method>?

 

I've gone through 2 broken 360's. My last one was the halo edition and broken within a year and a half. It was 1 red ring, which was also a hardware failure but I called microsoft and they would not warrant it! It said it would cost me $100 for their hardware failure. They also said that if it was 3 red rings they would cover it but not one. Being pretty ____ed I brought it to a repair shop in San Jose which boosted my laser, fan, and did the x-clamps on my 360. It worked awhile and then suddenly my graphics went all back and I kept on getting the red ring again. After being extremely fed up I went back to the shop who does my work for me because they also specialize in swapping out systems. I bought a 360 pro, they opened it carefully swapped the insides of the new 360 pro into my halo edition and put the halo edition into the pro and carefully sealed it. I returned the pro with no problem and got practically a brand new 360 for $25. Part of me feels guilty but the placed I bought it from has a 90 return guarantee for 360 is anything is wrong, so if anyone bought it they could easily get it replaced. I know it's illegal and whatnot but if you get fed up and decide to go this route, just PM me.

 

that's really nuts, I did mine online.

 

welp. it's in my possession now. will probably do an x-clamp fix.. one of the better tutorials made out there.

still need to troubleshoot a little bit.. but it's in safe hands..

 

can any help with my son's psp

 

Probably better off getting a new one. Might cost as much as a used/new PSP if you have it repair.

 

This happened to my X360 a few months back & i ended up sending it to Microsoft it only took about 5-7 days & they even gave me the updated chip set plus my 360 was Flashed & they had no probs what so ever when it came to fixing the RROD it was about $14.00 to ship it...

Best of luck ;)

 

its a cracked screen repair craigslist has some for about 50 bucks but dont really trust it to much ya know!!preffer to let someone on here do it..
