We have been following this advice for several years now and it ALWAYS works!. We rarely use the Xbox anymore, except to occasionally watch DVDs. So, after not using the XBox for a while, we always get the Red-Ring-Of-Death. This advice works every single time! Thank you so much!!!
I was searching for original xbox red ring fix, I tried this on my original xbox and it worked! after years of everything this is the only thing that workedIt's like it forces the machine to reset or something, thanks a lot man! you're a genious !!
A god amongst men. Thanks for taking to time to work this out and upload it. It took me about 5mins of trying to get the timing right but it worked. Hell, my disk tray wasn't even opening. Persevere, guys!
You rock man! This fixed my XBOX 360 as well. Compared to some of the 10 min, 20 min and longer videos on HOW TO, your solution was right on the money and took about 90 seconds to use and fix. Thanks a bunch!
Worked for me!!! was bricked for 1.5 years! Its important to note that the thing that bricked my 360 in the first place was a SOFTWARE UPDATE from the connect. So was not likely an incident of overheating. This fix probably just resets a flag in the software. Also important to note is the timeing. 1. Switch off 2. Switch on 3. As quickly as possible press open tray 4. push the tray half way in. (do this before the center lite stops flashing) 5. wait for that nice sound :) Saved my 360!
+montgomerynathameion well all i did to fix mine was basically gave it a slight towel treatment,then pressed the hana chip down with a little force till my finger burned,then let it cool a little plugged it in an thats it working.
WOW, was going to toss it out and get a refurbished one. Glad that I waited. Thanks! BTW mine did ring worm red death dance after an update, and no way it was a heat issue. Thanks again!!!!
Amazing! It took three tries (the charm?) and it worked! At first, I thought this was BS and almost went to take the thing apart (as in other 'fixes') but my son (age 7) urged me to "Try again daddy!" Kudos to you, sir, for this fix!
Holy Cow!!!! This actually worked. one of the little boys in the neighborhood said we had to buy a new XBOX because of it. His dad bought him a new one. Thanks for telling us. He got an XBOX One from Santa so he'll be selling this one on eBay now. Thanks again.
If it did not work ~ 1.You have to turn the Xbox off 2.Unplug all the cables 3.Wait 30 seconds 4.Plug back in the cables and turn it back on!! P.s. This only works with the type of rrod in the vid!
brilliant pal absolutely brilliant bought a fully boxed 360 for a fiver with this problem and now 10 mins after getting it , its now fully working thanks pal !!
Thank you so much man it worked!!! If it didn't work for someone, make sure you were holding the disc tray out exactly like he does in the video. It took me a few tries, but it worked!
Just picked up Xbox 360 FREE ! 2005-11-22 MFR Date... Tampered with ...DIRTY...cleaned it up, new compound on chips ...still rrod...YOUR DOOR TRICK...Works as new ! THANKS !
I subbed ENYWAYS cuz this is legit and I have the Xbox one but can't open till Christmas so that helped my cousin with the red rings of death U earned 5 subscribers
I cant believe that worked!!!!! I had 3 red lights on and a red light on the power supply. I powered it off and gave it a min. I just pressed the tray open button now it works. I did not press the power button. Many thankx Brah!!!!!!!
I just got RROD, and I should try this, wow, 2 red rings of death in the summer, the first one fixed its self, in fact I was so surprised my Xbox had RROD that when I turned and looked at it I almost fell over XD
My white xbox 360 has the red ring of death, i tried this and it worked. I don't know for how long this will work, but work it has. Thx for the video, it really helped me out
Hey mate, Just want to say thank you for telling us how to fix it as I had it did that and i was worried and was gonna get it mended with wasting money on but u solved the problem, as I did what you did and has fixed it, thank you mate :D
ali mohssan aaaaand, my xbox died... was able to copy my data from my HD to a USB stick before it was replaced. It progressively got worse until it simply wouldn't start up...
It's January 2021 and my 2008 vintage Original Xbox One just RRoD-ed This fix actually worked. My Disc tray would not open originally (Unlike in the video) but when holding both buttons on boot it worked
A lot of individuals say this is fake and perhaps it is? The Xbox 360 Disk Drive can cause 3 Red Lights although I have never seen nor would i believe this method would work? Perhaps it worked for his unique problem? At least he is not telling you to do something as Stupid as sticking shit in the fans, raping it in a towel or murdering your hole Game System by putting bolts in place of the X-Clamps. Do not bitch at him say thank you it did not work for me and move on, FYI I am qualified component level Electronics repairman with over 30 years of personal experience and prove that by showing Actual Military background in component level Avionics Repairs. and the Owner of a licensed Electronic repair shop repairing all game systems Desktop PC's Laptops ECT. As for me if I was to guess at what the problem of this box was by the way he stood this up like he did i would say he put a penny in the drive or the drive has a penny in it and after standing it on its side the penny moved to the side of the drive allowing it to reset after turning it off then on regardless of how he pushed the button because he did not prove it would stay red light before preforming his trick I would say he knew exactly what was going on or simply did not know there was a penny in the drive and this worked each time for him and he thinks this actually works? Ether way I would like to say ("thank you for your video") And thank you for not showing fake ass repairs that can kill or remove all possibility of any kind of lasting repair like so meny others do on TH-cam Love Daniel of the HGCGamersClube and Clovis X
I was expecting this to be a troll vid but straight up that worked for me, first time. Crazy. Hopefully now I'll get a bit a more life out of my trusty 360. Thanks Josh.
All I can say is!? more fool you lot for letting it over heat.. should have breaks any way unless you want a seizure.. and believe me, that shit happens. You have to have a break every hour between game play. Go read the 'warning' in the booklet.
*cough* DIPSHIT, 3 Lights is hardware/ No heatsink contact with the GPU and CPU. also you need to learn shit before you preach. he has error code 0102. that is an internal error. 2 lights is error code 0011-0014 OVERHEATING. Learn dat shit ngga
If anyone is reading this comment make sure to never EVER!!! Lay your 360 sideways. Because if you lay your 360 sideways two vents will be blocked off from airflow. This is what usually causes the three rings of death on your 360. make sure to place the 360 upright instead of horizontal that means all vents have airflow.
@@LMAN_2087 got the 3 red lights many years ago. Back then I sent it to Microsoft and got a new one. And I still have this console today. It’s the white premium model without HDMI.
@@ZentnerschwererEmbryo I looked up what 3 red rings mean. It said 3 rings is a hardware error. This means something in the 360 is either damaged or not powering on.
+Big Guns exactly, all you have to do is put thermal paste on your gpu and cpu and then put your heat sinks back on top of them, let it over heat so the thermal paste will fuse to the heat sinks then let it cool down then bam, it's fixed
This happened to my friend. He just unplugged it, put an ice pack on the power brick and one on the xbox, left them on there for like an hour, turned it on, and it worked
Other way: Take your XBOX, go outside, mak a big fire, trough your xbox inside then wait a few minutes.Then take it out and smash it with your hammer.Then go and buy an Playstation.
I have an old (white) console. Every now and then i get the red rings. i just turn it off and back on, all good. The power box to power point also gets a red light. I figured its the power box causing it, because it overheats. So i keep a fan on it. Works.
I think it depends on how many rings you get,if its 4,its just overheated and if its 3 than there was a software failure and your xbox needs to fixed or replaced.
I should try this, because it makes sense, opening the disc tray overrides the light circuits in the motherboard (main circuit board) that control the power light and the 4 segments because the power light is flashing, and the circuit is still in use so it stops it from showing the 3 red segments, now I get it!
Wish I would have seen this years ago, instead of it being randomly suggested in 2022. 😂 I brought the Xbox 360 back in 2006 (being impatient because the PS3 had not come out yet) and got the RROD literally the first time I turned it on. I had a Xbox 360 for less than a day. Tempted to buy one now just to try this.
THIS SHIT WORKS LMAO I have a 360 that crashed after a game i tried (trials fusion, with aurora, rgh 3) and after reboot my xbox had 3 red lights with code 0031, i tried this shit and i almost fainted, i couldn't believe this worked, please try this mate before getting your xbox repaired by a technician, might work... I'm so fkin happy, my xbox is alive again!!!!
my very first Xbox 360 had red ring of death about 8 years ago I bought it as used. I never thought trying away you did. I did towel trick it only worked few times then it died for good
I just came here to watch this for fun, but another method is 1. Unplug all the cables and wait about a minute 2. Plug them back in 3. Turn it on and it works
Omg my best friend got the red ring of death and he got a whole new xbox but kept the old one. I may not have an xbox but i want to help him so he can have 2 xboxs thank you sooo much! :) :D and also do you have to do this alot or just once?
No it means that the power box is no good anymore and your going to have to buy another it happened to me before so dont worry the real thing you will be worrying about is that it cost like 80$ i think
That is a power fault. check the socket, and all power cords. your power brick should have an indicator, GREEN- Power GOOD ORANGE- Stand by RED- Fault Alarm
It was so weird. I was just playing GTA V for about 4 hours, then i went to sleep for about 5 hours, and i woke up to play my xbox, and it was laggy so i shut it off, unplugged it, and turned it back on. After, i got the red rings of death, and an e64 code. I turned off my xbox and unplugged it, and ten minutes later, it worked just fine.
if anybody's still using these consoles (even if you don't have games, it's a good DVD player), I have an additional tip for you. remove the plastic grates on the ends. my cat decided to jump on my unit and knocked it on the floor, and it popped the grates off. turns out, these cut the airflow to the guts just a little too much, which contributes to the 360's overheating problem. not only have I not had a problem, I swear the games now load FASTER.
The RRoD is not caused my overheating. It is caused by the thermal cycles (heating up and cooling down) on the GPU which has a faulty underfill in between the die and the rest of the GPU chip itself (not the board, the actual chip itself). Even if the console ran at 55 C max it would still red ring as long as it still had the faulty GPU. The only "fix" was the Jasper/Kronos boards that had GPUs that did not have the same faulty underfill.
@@safetyzone2962 then why do the slims still do it? did they just keep the same boards in a new case? (I have a one-light, but something can be heard physically loose in the case)
@@anonymuswere The slims have a redesigned GPU that was integrated into the CPU, but they still kept the EDRAM die separate, which is what caused E74. The bad underfill would break the connection between the EDRAM and the GPU, which is what caused E74 and this connection is on the GPU (it is NOT on the motherboard). The most common red ring on the slim is E82 which is the exact same thing as E74, they just changed it to invalidate the 3 year warranty. The new slim design brought back the faulty EDRAM underfill which causes the red ring. That’s why the Kronos GPU on the phat models are the best.
@@safetyzone2962 at least I squeezed 9 years out of the unit. just sucks I lost all our purchases over the years. can't get Charlie Murder back again, and I miss the indy games
I did this about 6 years ago and my Xbox still works.

I had a Xbox 360 for less than a day. Tempted to buy one now just to try this.
Tried mine standing up,DIDN'T work...................So layed it down,DID work.cheers.
My old 360, got the e70 a couple of months ago, do you think this would work for it, although e70 is to do with the AV chip
Playing games with Father without problems ahh
THIS SHIT WORKS LMAO
I have a 360 that crashed after a game i tried (trials fusion, with aurora, rgh 3) and after reboot my xbox had 3 red lights with code 0031, i tried this shit and i almost fainted, i couldn't believe this worked, please try this mate before getting your xbox repaired by a technician, might work...
I'm so fkin happy, my xbox is alive again!!!!
Which cables did you use in tv?
my very first Xbox 360 had red ring of death about 8 years ago I bought it as used. I never thought trying away you did. I did towel trick it only worked few times then it died for good
I just came here to watch this for fun, but another method is
1. Unplug all the cables and wait about a minute
2. Plug them back in
3. Turn it on and it works
Omg my best friend got the red ring of death and he got a whole new xbox but kept the old one. I may not have an xbox but i want to help him so he can have 2 xboxs thank you sooo much! :) :D and also do you have to do this alot or just once?
2024, this just worked. Let me investigate a 360 Elite i had been given back in 2017, but never had the chance till now to see if it worked or not
my xbox wont turn on but the power box is red. does that mean the xbox is ruined?
No it means that the power box is no good anymore and your going to have to buy another it happened to me before so dont worry the real thing you will be worrying about is that it cost like 80$ i think
I hope it helps you
That is a power fault.
check the socket,
and all power cords.
your power brick should have an indicator,
GREEN- Power GOOD
ORANGE- Stand by
RED- Fault Alarm
I can tell you it works 100% no cap.
It was so weird. I was just playing GTA V for about 4 hours, then i went to sleep for about 5 hours, and i woke up to play my xbox, and it was laggy so i shut it off, unplugged it, and turned it back on. After, i got the red rings of death, and an e64 code. I turned off my xbox and unplugged it, and ten minutes later, it worked just fine.
U jst saved my xbox I totally worship u thanks so much
Then can you use the disk reader again ?
MAN! Thank you so much, just tried on a Xbox Elite and it worked. Thank you man!
My 12 year old 360 console just got the ring of death and after watching this video it actually worked and it just made me laugh😅😅😅
so why did they extend the warranty with 3 years?
if anybody's still using these consoles (even if you don't have games, it's a good DVD player), I have an additional tip for you. remove the plastic grates on the ends. my cat decided to jump on my unit and knocked it on the floor, and it popped the grates off. turns out, these cut the airflow to the guts just a little too much, which contributes to the 360's overheating problem. not only have I not had a problem, I swear the games now load FASTER.
The RRoD is not caused my overheating. It is caused by the thermal cycles (heating up and cooling down) on the GPU which has a faulty underfill in between the die and the rest of the GPU chip itself (not the board, the actual chip itself). Even if the console ran at 55 C max it would still red ring as long as it still had the faulty GPU. The only "fix" was the Jasper/Kronos boards that had GPUs that did not have the same faulty underfill.
@@safetyzone2962 then why do the slims still do it? did they just keep the same boards in a new case? (I have a one-light, but something can be heard physically loose in the case)
@@anonymuswere The slims have a redesigned GPU that was integrated into the CPU, but they still kept the EDRAM die separate, which is what caused E74. The bad underfill would break the connection between the EDRAM and the GPU, which is what caused E74 and this connection is on the GPU (it is NOT on the motherboard). The most common red ring on the slim is E82 which is the exact same thing as E74, they just changed it to invalidate the 3 year warranty. The new slim design brought back the faulty EDRAM underfill which causes the red ring. That’s why the Kronos GPU on the phat models are the best.
@@safetyzone2962 at least I squeezed 9 years out of the unit. just sucks I lost all our purchases over the years. can't get Charlie Murder back again, and I miss the indy games
Josh the disc tray on my xbox 360 won't open when it has the RROD😢
is it 0001 code?
