My xbox is broken

[Rughugger]

If its 4. Google it. My friend told me that it shows you how to take it apart and fix it(4 rings that is). And how to prevent it from happening again

And completely void any chance of fixing it if a complete amateur forgets up when following that googled search.

So far, there has been little helpful advice in this topic. If it's 4 rings, plug in your AV cable. If it's 3 rings, hold the sync button and hit the eject button. The ring will have either 1,2,3, or 4 lights lit up. 4=0, 1=1, 2=2, 3=3. Hit the eject button 4 times and you get a 4 digit code. That code is the error code. Look it up here (Scroll down a bit). Now depending on the code, you might be able to fix it. I bought my friend's RRoD'd xbox and got the error code 0102. This means that the thermal compound on the GPU and CPU isn't doing it's job (Microsoft got better thermal compound with the new ones). If you have a warranty,  you could try sending it in. If not, it's very easy to fix. Follow the instructions here to open your xbox and here to fix the red ring.

Only works if your problem arises from broken solders inside of the xbox.

If your Xbox 360 is within 3 years of when it was bought. You can send it in for free if it gets the General Hardware Failure or the E-74 Message.

If not. Pay up.

Sorry for the bump

Never do the towel trick. It may work for a short time, but it will eventually RRoD in most cases. Plus, it increases your chance of it not being able to fix. Try doing the X-Clamp fix first. If that doesn't work, then you can take a heat gun and try to re-flow the solder in the GPU, but that is a low-medium success rate.

It's because they didn't have crappy thermal compound on the GPU/CPU. But now all xboxs come with better thermal compound so they rarely RRoD. If you have to buy a new one, buy an arcade.
