I fixed my Xbox 360's red ring of death in 25 minutes, and I'm about to tell you how. Did you know that the Microsoft Xbox 360 "Red Ring of Death" rate is reportedly over 50%? That's just stupid. In a survey of 5,000 console owners, 54.6% of them had been hit with the red ring of death! Completely unacceptable.
It happened to me just last week. My girlfriend was away for the weekend and it was Friday night. I had a few friends over, and we were playing Madden '10. Excited to have a whole weekend where I could play some games (I rarely have the time I used to anymore), things were looking good. We were midway through our second game, and right out of nowhere, everything just died on us.
There it was when we tried turning it back on - the three red rings. I couldn't believe it. The thought of going into football season without my 360 really, really bugged me.
One of my friends had experienced the same thing last year, and had to wait over 7 weeks before he finally got his 360 back from Microsoft. I had also learned that Microsoft may charge $100 and up to fix this after doing some reading online. I obviously wasn't happy about this.
Luckily, I have a bunch of friends who know a lot about these things, and I decided to text one of them. He got back to me and recommended a repair kit that his brother used just a few months ago. Said it worked like a charm.
I checked it out and saw that they promised I'd have mine fixed in an hour or less, or I'd get all of my money back, guaranteed. Sounded good enough to me, especially considering my alternatives.
Just 25 minutes later I was the proud owner of a working Xbox 360 again. I followed their suggestions to a t and they worked. I was kind of surprised that Microsoft couldn't provide this info to its owners, but I guess that comes with the territory when you're a corporate giant.
I don't trust Microsoft's products anymore, but hopefully my red ring days are in the past. If it does come back (I'm sure it will with my luck), I have this guide to get me through the issues, and I'll probably have it fixed in half the time next time around.
If you're in the same boat that I was just in, check it out. I can just about guarantee you'll be up and running within an hour, and you'll have your money back if you're not. There's nothing to lose. And Microsoft, I plead with you to fix your products. This is unacceptable.
