- Tis is a video on how to Fix your XBOX 360 that has any of the Red Rings, This does not fix the E-68 because that is a HDD problem. In this video, I go step by step in dis-assembly to cleaning and heat treating the board, to applying therman compound and re-assembly.
TOOLS:
Small Flat Head Screwdriver
T-10 and T-8 Tork Screwdriver
Rubbing Alcohol and WD-40
Thermal Compound
Heat Gun
Something to Pry with for X-Clamps
Cotton Balls or Cu-Tips
Step 1: Take a Small Flat Head Screwdriver and after removing the front panel, take the screwdriver and pop out the grey or black if its an Elite, side panels by releasing the pins shown in the video
Step 2: Using the same small Flat Head Screwdriver, on the back of the XBOX you will see 7 slots, those slots contain clips that need to be pushed in. Use the flat head to push these in and relieve the clips and the XBOX will pop open on the back side, then relieve the clips on the front with either the screwdriver or your fingernails and the bottom of the XBOX casing will come off.
Step 3: Take the T-10 Tork screwdriver and remove the 6 long screws and the 9 short screws holding the motherboard in place. Then take the T-8 Tork screwdriver and remove the 8 X-Clamp screws. Flip the XBOX over and remove the top panel of the casing.
Step 4: Now remove the disk drive by lifting up on the back and the front and then unplug the power and the sata cable. Also take out the white ventilation for the heat syncs by using a flat head screwdriver to pop the pin in the center down and pull it out. Also unplug the fans.
Step 5: The main panel on the front of the XBOX has the white flap on it, remove the top firs and then slide it down and off, remove the 3 screws with a T-8 Tork screwdriver and then pull out the board. Once that is done, lift up on he front of the main board and slide it out forward.
Step 6: Take the pry tool that you have selected and place it in between the X-clamp and where screw goes and push down towards the board so that you lift up the X-clamp, then simply pry on the sides of the joints and remove the X-clamps and the heat syncs and now you have just the board.
Step 7: Take either Alcohol or WD-40 to clean off the Heat syncs and the processors with a cotton ball or cu-tip. If using WD-40, wipe down with Alcohol after.
Step 8: Heat Treat the board with a Heat Gun, Preheat the board for about 2:30 minutes to 4:00 minutes, Then with a circular motion heat up the CPU and GPU for about 5:00 minutes, Then re-heat the board for about another 2:30 to 4:00 minutes so it cool evenly and let the board cool for about 1 to 2 hours minimum.
Step 9: Once the Board has cooled down, Clean the Processors on last time with Alcohol and then apply Thermal Compound for a layer just on top of the chips.
Step 10: Place the heat syncs on at a time on the board, I recommend doing the Square one first, place it on the board and flip it over, heat sync to the table and apply pressure to the board, take an X-clamp and place two of the clamps by just sliding them on then using the pry tool, pry the other two clamps into place and wait till you hear them click. do the same with the other heat sync.
Step 11: Take the white ventilation plastic piece and place it into place on the board, then take the disk drive and plug in the power and sata cables and put the drive into place, plug in the fans and then take the top of the XBOX panel and place it on and flip the XBOX over showing where the screws go. Take the 9 shorter screws and screw them in with a T-10 Tork and the 8 x-clamp screws with a T-8 Tork screwdriver. Flip it back over and remove the top panel again.
Step 12: Take the front power board and place it into place and screw in the 3 screws with a T-8 Tork, after that place the white flap with the arrows pointing up back on bottom first and then put the top exterior panel back on. Flip the XBOX over and screw in the 6 long screws to hold the top panel in place.
Step 13: Put the Disk driver button back into place and be sure it clicks, then take the bottom exterior panel and place it on front first and it should just click into place, on the back push it in and then press against the back of the XBOX until they all click into place. Put the side panels on and then test out your now fixed XBOX 360

My dad and I spent some time together fixed my RRODed Xbox 360, following to the letter this guys instructions. I thought MAYBE a 50/50 chance it'll work and he thought it wasn't going to happen. (BTW, before you make a trip to the store, you need a T-8 screwdriver, too). Anyway, we did it, turned it on and everything worked as normal. Awesome video. Thank you!!
I know this is a very old comment but could you reply on whether your system still works tonight
you can also use the sharp end of some scizzors. they work perfectly
How long did your xbox fix last?
You just saved my Xbox 360 Elite! It was running the fans louder and louder and finally RROD. Following your viid put it back to the quiet operation it had when it was new! Thanks for making such a detailed instruction.
Probably the most thorough tutorial I've watched, informative and humorous at times, cursing during tutorials is awesome :)
This is a brilliant video. Couldn't find anyone to fix my xbox 360 here in Iceland. I followed this step by step and my kids are happily playing on their xbox again. Thank you so much Rob :)
I can not express my gratitude towards you Rob , I had three rings , and my xbox was hopeless but with your perfectly aided help I managed to fix it and it is now running better than ever . Thank you
Rob, it's 5 years later, but your video helped me, I hadn't turned on my 360 in probably over a year, and when I turned it on, 3 flashing red lights.
I was able to rip apart the 360 last night, clean processors, heat it up with heat gun, bought some new thermal compound today, applied compound, reassembled, like new!
Cheers
Tried this fix step for step on my 360 which hadn't been working since 2010. Worked like a charm and she's good as new now. For anyone that might have a similar problem when I first put it back together I never had the bigger box shaped heat sink screwed in tightly enough, and started getting two red rings and the 360 would shut down shortly after startup. Took it apart again and made sure it was screwed in very tight and it worked fine. Thanks a lot man
Very good video. Well spoken, clear and concise instruction, and the video was edited so he isn't sitting there heating the board for minutes while whistling or or awkwardly talking like a tool. Taught me how to gut the 360, clean it, and put it together again. Fixed 1 of my rrod 360s yesterday while watching this video, will fix the other in the near future. Keep up the good work dude!
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. I've taken apart a few white Xbox consoles in my day, but it's been a while, and this video was VERY helpful in reminding me how to get everything apart. :)
I just fixed my old RROD XBOX 360 last night using your tutorial. It was very easy to follow. Thank you!
Dang you’re actually a great TH-camr who replies to comments on an eight year old video... thumbs up!
I try my best my comments feed was down but now it’s working again !!
Sick...totally fixed it. Thnx bro. Works like a charm...its been collecting dust for 3yrs. Solid dude. Excellent tutorial
Your very welcome
Your tutorials are hella helpful man. While I haven't had any of these problems it's always nice to know how to fix it, in case the problem arises.
Well here I am back commenting. i can safely say that this WORKED! My xbox turned on and worked like a charm. It's amazing. DEEPLY appreciative of this video! Thank you so much bro! Earned a sub
My XBox had the RROD and I called a local shop to see how much they'd charge to fix it and they told me it'd cost about $80+ tax to fix and I wouldn't be able to get it back for about a week and a half. So, instead of that bull crap I looked at a few vids and came across your's, I followed your instructions step by step, after watching your vid a few times and let me tell you it works good as new. I spent approximately $5 which was for the isopropyl alcohol and the thermal paste. Thanks man!!!
Thank you so much! Wasn't sure I could do it when I first started. I've never done this before but now I know how. You are the best!
Thanks for the tutorial. I got a "refurbished" 360 on ebay for super cheap and it red ringed on me after a few days. After some clean up, new hardware, and your video it's running great.
Just wanted to say that I bought an Xbox 360 RROD off eBay for £30.00.
I followed this video and it works like new!!!!
My tips - I set a timer for the heatgun part for 10 mins. I heated the board for about 2 mins all over, then just on the main chips for five mins. Cooled for three mins gently. Left it for an hour and a half.
Gunk from the old heat sink was removed by spraying a cloth with WD40 and gently rubbing - not directly.
Used gold heatsink paste.
Thanks dude! You rock!
Hey Rob - just want to let you know that I followed your video step-by-step, and I now have a fully functioning XBOX 360! Thank you very much for posting your video! -Chris, L.I. NY
Best repair video on here! Nice one mate Keep Rocking from the UK!
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your excellent instructional video! Your procedure worked for my 2008 XBOX 360. Before the fix it was giving the three red lights. I used thermal paste I had laying around from old projects (Stars Cooler Paste). The only problem I had was I made some scorch marks on the wooden table I layed the circuit board on when I was heating it. A little sanding will correct that. Thanks again for posting the procedure.
I have seen more then enough of these "RROD easy_fix" but can honestly say yours is by far the best one,
Very informative and easy to understand, and you've took your time and not just shot together a quick 5
minute vid, So Thank You and As the late great Chopper Read once said "Credit where Credit is due"
thanks for this video, really appricated. i did this on a spare xbox and works fine. been working for a month even now with no problems
Great Video worked like a charm. Had to use the WD40 to get the old paste off. Made sure to use alcohol to clean afterwards. Thanks for the play by play!
I think this really depends on your Xbox, mine is a 2005 model and I've had this done 4 times in the 4 years that I've had it. It works very well but only for about a year to the day of the repair (most recently it RROD again after an update) it doesn't matter if it's used a lot or not, I can actually put an RROD mark on my calendar lol I love the fact that you go step by step, know all the sizes of what you need and exactly what you need. It's very informative and thorough. Great job :)
Great vid, thank you for taking time to show a very in depth way to fix the RROD problem. Much respect sir
This is a fantastic fix it took me about 3 hours start to finish it took longer to let the mother board to cool off then do the actual work and I had none of the tools when I started and the heat gun the t8 and t10 torks bits and the thermal compound cost me about 45 bucks at radio shack. thanks for the fix I will surely pass this one on
Thanks for the video. It really works and you make it so simple to understand.
This fixed my XBOX.
This was explained perfectly! Thank you so much, Rob.
Just completed fixing my Xbox following your video, worked fine. Thanks very much. :)
Nice vid, I did this method to mine about 4-6 years a go and its still runs. I put an external fan add-on on the back of it after I fixed it and, it's been awesome.
Great tutorial. I just disassembled the XBOX360 that I bought from a friend at work for $50. Real deal. But it has got the red ring of death. So this tutorial is very, very helpful.
This video helped me fixing my xbox360 with 3 red lights alert! At least for now. Its much silent now too! It was exciting to do stuff I have never done. I was feeling like a geek lol. And I liked it. Big Thank You Rob for great challenge!
I'd like to thank you for your knowledge that helped me to resolve this problem for my son. Used a product called Antec Formula 7 Nano Diamond Thermal Compound. All is good after I figured out that I'd switched the 3 prong cable for the fan up backwards. Yeah. Fixed now and running fine. One word of advice for you....You are very smart, so watch that mouth with the expletives. Thank you again.
EXCELLENT, excellent. had doubts - as electro technician, but at the end xbox is working perfectly. Big thanks for advice!!!
you are a hell of a teacher thanks and keep it up.
2019 my xbox got the rrod found this video. Thanks my xbox is alive again and working. I did have to buy a heat gun but it was worth it. Thanks for this helpful video.
does it still work
No problem anytime
I'm using this video to try to fix my own RROD. I completely disassembled my xbox and took off the heat syncs. Tomorrow, I'll go to radio shack and buy the thermal compound and comment whether my xbox will be working or not :) Thanks for the help!
Thank you for this video, I've only briefly turned on the xbox to make sure it worked but it didn't have the red ring anymore. For the heatgun I just set it to about the middle for heat (mine doesn't show actual temperatures) and put the fan on high for about 3-5 minutes.
thanks man did the job fixed my xbox that was broken for 3 years :)
Fixed it first try. Biggest expense was the 9$ heat gun i got from harbor freight. Thanks for the good video.
Thanks man, very informative! I recently replaced the DVD drive in my 360 because the old one was no longer reading games, but since then the fans would just start running really fast for no reason after I turn it on and just let it sit there. I was thinking it has something to do with the heatsink and hopefully this will fix the issue. You are very funny too lol
just did this for 2 xbox's worked each time. thanks for the tutorial man.
Bad Ass brother thank you for this I just picked up a 360 for 20 bucks because it had the RROD. doing another fix as a test to narrow down the issue i know it's the thermal issue. and now i know how to get in there and fix this issue once and for all SCORE!
i just fixed 3 xbox 360s thanx to this video! thanx man
Sweet dude that’s awesome
Hi rob, just followed your tutorial and it worked!! Thanks heaps mate!
I`ve managed to fix the RROD thanks to you! Thank you very much and keep up the good work ! By the way, i`ve managed to fix it by using my wife`s hair dryer :D. It did the job :)
Very helpful video. I think it is the most detailed video on youtube. I like how you show everything from talking about the issue to opening the box and including everystep. Subscribed, More videos coming soon?
Great job Rob Papallo. God bless you. It works. My kids are happy to use XBox again, thx too you. Great Tutorial!
Rob great video, I got the ring of fire and fixed it with the towel method. Now the console is freezing my video games every 5 to 10 minutes. I think I'm going to clean my xbox the same way your showing us.
Just saved my Xbox, and my wallet, for another few years. Thanks!!
worked a treat for me great video rob :)
Thank you! Worked like a mint, as someone else said, fans are really loud now although that shouldn't be a problem. Back in the game!
hey rob thanks for the video worked 100% i had problem with 3 red lights then changed the white connector round on rom then gave me 2 red lights so followed your video with heating up and now back fully working after being on for over 20 mins and still fine upto now. once again thank you :) puma jay
This fix worked for me! Thanks Rob!
Thanks, i've just bought for 1$ with rrod and this saved the xbox for a while...

Worked great, had the three rings of death. Problem solved, thanks, man!
Nice vid,going to use your vid as a guide for first ever attempt on an xbox fix. Fingers crossed :D
I've had my original Xbox360 for almost 6 years now and just now got the rrod...so before i spend money I'm gonna try this out
Thank you everything is working perfectly, very nice video, easy to understand.
Thanks man glad it helped
excellent video ur obviously very good at what u do very informative
You are the best now I can fix my cousins old 360 that he gave to me.
Nice I’m glad it worked for you
This was a great video, really damn helpful, however, my xbox is still dead, idk what to do any more
I will be trying this out for the first time. I have the RROD and I hope I do a good job. Wish me luke!
Thanks so much for this video it is very well done. I fix
PS3 YLOD and this seems to be similar after watching the video I may try to find one to fix myself thanks for the very good explanation
Hey thxs for making this video I am definatly trying this out
Working so far , thanks man
you are the man.. many thanks Rob
One suggestion: I found that the xclamps can be taken off much easier with a pair of needlenose pliers. Stick them in near where they clamp onto the tips from the heatsyncs, and rotate your wrist while squeezing. The xclamps pop right off, and this way you don't need to worry about warping them. Also saves you from the possibility of scratching the board with the screwdriver.
That really kicked ass. Thanks for posting.
Thanks man
worked like a charm, Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much I did everything what you said and it worked my xbox 360 will work forever now thank you so much.
Awesome fix man!
Thank you !!
very informative. well done.
Great video helped me a lot thanks rob!!!!!!!!!
wow this totally worked. thanks for making this video you really helped me out.
I did this and it worked!!!! For a week, then the 3 lights came back suddenly. Sooooo, tried it again, heat treated a little longer and hotter this time, and it’s working again!!! Let’s see for how long. My kid loves the old Xbox so hopefully for a while lol. We do have another one, but it has open tray issues and only reads games when it’s in the mood.
Nice for the one with the tray issue there’s a little rubber band in the tray that gets work out over time to control the tray itself that can cause an issue that can be replaced, the other thing is that the motor could be bad and if the tray in the red light Xbox is the same model in the other one you can swap the drives and swap the board on them and it will work
Excellent video Rob I shall take this on to fix my ROD :)
Thanks very much Rob it worked perfect looking forward to FIFA again yeha :)
Just as I was enjoying back playing my xbox it went doom again 3 RROD after following this tutorial step-by-step what to do now do I need to repeat the whole process or is it completely doomed?

Thank you very much! Worked perfectly!
nice video i took my xbox 360 and power brick apart to clean them for dust and my xbox 360 still works
Your the first person I've ever seen replace the X-clamps.

Thanks man helped me out a lot
SIR!!! I DEFINITELY SALUTE YOU FOR A WONDERFUL TUTORIAL. Thank you very much for your help, i almost paid $4000 to get this RROD fix (Jamaican Price). Instead i'm going to subcribe and donate to your site. Thanks a million once again, now i can go practice Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 thanks to you xD.
thanks worked out for me, i just hope it stays working and the problem doesnt return
THIS REALLY WORKS!!
THANKS MAAN
Merci bro !
Ça marche très bien, même avec une console qui a 7 ans
PERFECTION !
de rien
you need a heatgun with pinpointed positioning of heat to perform the reflow process. see if you can borrow one
Did it 100% right but no luck hopefully you guys get better results
