not sure if this is the right place to post this....my xbox just got rrod anyone one know of a good tutorial and exactly what i need to fix it ive seen a couple videos and from what ive seen it looks like all i basically have to do is replace the screws and washers for the xclamps???? correct me if im wrong cause ive never done it before...thanks in advance and thanks for looking

if your 360 is still under warrenty i recommend just sending it out to microsoft. if not then try this possible rrod fix

this is what we have on the site, but you can search youtube and find a number of methods to tackle this. . .

no not covered under MS warranty no more.. but from looking threw the tutorial i think i can handle it is there any sites where i can order like a package of everything i need screws, thermal paste, ect. ect.

i've seen a few after watching the youtube videos, just google it.

ok thanks man ill post up how everything went when i get er done...

Ebay sell loads of kits (basically nuts and washers) but be aware that its just a temporary fix, may last a month or could last a year. Even though it may show as being out of standard warranty its worth checking with microsoft to see if its covered by the 3 year rrod fault ( just sent one of my mates samsung ones off for him which was out of 1 year warranty and received a Liteon replacement. ta Bill ) unless you already have then ignore that advice.

dale definitely makes a valid point. . . check with microsoft if you haven't already

LoL I got the RROD on first 360 after 3 month, I wernt patient enough to wait for MS so I buy a pre owned one and stuck the broken one in the cuboard, Some 6 month later I read on the internet about most of the time the RROD isnt in fact RROD and just possibly the AV cable in the back of the console wernt inserted right in, So I gets the " Broken " 360 out the cuboard and I couldnt believe it, Honestly it was the dam AV lead not pushed right in. LoL To ttest this if you pull out the lead while 360 is on you will get the lights, RROD lights in fact, Not sure how many quadrants are lit but it certainly makes you think you have the RROD especially when its your first experience with it.

Maybee you could try this as its what was wrong with mine, Its a common mistake when you get the RROD, Check the AV lead is pushed right in. and anyone reading this who think they have the RROD and still have it stored away somewhere, its maybee worth a try, You may be lucky !

when you remove av cable while powered on,all 4 red lights flash
