Tips on fixing the red ring of death

By Jessie Weddington


Back in 2005 when the first Xbox 360 was launched, there were a lot of people that were utterly excited by it and many of them bought one. Yet, after a short while of using it, there were many reports stating the fact that the console would just become inoperable. In time, this error became really famous amongst those that decided to buy a console from Microsoft. The error was named the red ring of death by the ones that have stumbled upon it and if you were the one to have the bad luck of getting it, you had to either send the console back to Microsoft, buy a new one or simply throw it out the window into the garbage can.

So what is it that is causing the error in the first place? Well, you will certainly find the answers to it on the online community forums, which will be varied, yet when it comes to Microsoft, they have stated that it actually stems from the fact that there is a problem with the cooling system and the console overheats if certain conditions are met.

So what causes this nasty error to pop up in the first place? You will find a lot of answers if you will delve into the online community forums, yet Microsoft stated that there is a problem with the cooling system of the Xbox 360 and it manages to overheat in certain conditions.

What are the solutions that you will be able to use in order to fix your problem? No one will love to see that after just a few weeks, the console in which they have invested hundreds of dollars will have burnt out. If you want to make sure that your console will get fixed, you will need to have it sent over to Microsoft and if your product is still under warranty, then you will get it back to you in 4 to 8 weeks. Yet if no warranty, then you will need to shell out around one hundred dollars for it.

The period you will need to wait for your console to get back to you can vary between four and eight weeks. Of course, if you want to make sure that you will not get the red ring of death you will need to make sure the console is properly cooled.

So, if you are someone that wants to buy a new console in order to play all of your favorite games, make sure that you will put the Xbox 360 in a place where there is not much heat, so it will not die on you too soon. You will be very happy you have done so.
