Red ring

[Rhell22]

I recently got red ring. So I took it apart, and removed the x clamps and all that good stuff. So it was working for about a week until I got it again, does any one have suggestions on how to fix it?

Use lube , i mean http://www.instructables.com/id/Fix-the-Red-Ring-of-Deathwithout-towels/ this worked for me

 

[Rhell22]

I will check it out, I am really pissed because it worked only for a short time.

So your warranty expired or why didnt you use the service hotline and send it in? Dont like a month of free gold?

 

[Supernovajake]

Is there a reason you didn't want to send it to Microsoft?

 

[Rhell22]

Yeah I did not have a warranty.

I had a Red Ring awhile back. I let it sit for a week, and then it started to work again. After a day, it died for good. I couldn't send mine back because I voided the warranty the day I got it (the disk drive was not attached inside, and I didn't want to send it in.) I got another one after the Red Ring. I suggest you do the same. I feel that that is your only option for a long lasting fix. You already have the excessories, so all you need is the cheap arcade model.

Thats true but if there is way of fixing it I would rather do that because I don't have much money.

Apparently if you don't mind doing it manually, i know how to make it so it doesent overheat and break any of the chipsets. This would void your warranty though.

He already said he doesn't HAVE a warranty, so just post it.

Get to your local game shop or 2-used and ask if they can repair it, if yes give them your box and their fee, if no keep looking and asking.

 

[Rhell22]

Yeah I already just bought one with my birthday money. I am sorry. Thanks for the help, I feel undeserving of a new xbox though.

That sucks, Ive had my for 3 years and it RRoD me a little while ago, but I sent it in and every thing went peachy

Damn, if your Xbox is no longer under warranty then buying a new one is all you can really do. All of the towel tricks are pretty much temporary(very few exceptions). Sucks to be you man.

Well excuuuuse me
Ok, open up your xbox, there should be an X shaped object, which looks like its wrapped in aluminium foil. On closer inspection it is actually two X's on top of eachother, get a nice thick washer and place it inbetween these two X's by gently removing the top X (if necessary the parts it connects), the Xbox will no longer overheat.

Which chipset model does this work for?

 

[Simalacrum]

just send it off to Microsoft, maybe? yeah maybe its quicker if you do it yourself but at least your (nearly) guaranteed to get it back working right
