XBox Ring Of Death Blog |

If you have been an Xbox owner for any length of time then I am sure that by now you will be aware of the “XBox Red Ring Of Death” error. This is the light ring that is surrounding the main XBox console power light. This ring of light is made up of four sections and each section of the ring indicates, when lit red, an error is taking place.

Although the 3 red lights are the most feared and most common, each red light is has meaning. Lets examine each light section and its meaning:

1 Red Ring Light:

This light illuminating indicates that your XBox is starting to suffer from a general hardware failure.

2 Red Ring Lights:

Having two red light rings illuminate is informing you that your XBox is starting to overheat. Should you see these two sections then my advice is to take immediate action and turn it off to cool down and avoid further damage.

3 Red Ring Lights:

The feared “XBox Ring Of Death“. Having these three red light rings show up on your console indicate that your CPU has come loose, this is caused from your console being severely overheated.

4 Red Ring Lights:

This is not a major problem and is relatively easy to fix. The four red light rings indicates that your XBox AV cable has come loose.

The three red light sections of the “XBox Ring Of Death” lighting up is considered to be the most problematical of all the errors. The Microsoft Corporation have to date expended millions of dollars to repair their customers’ consoles after they fell victim to the Red Ring Of Death. Microsoft absorbs the costs of these repairs for machines that are still under warranty. Unfortunately there are many thousands of customers who develop this problem after their consoles warranty expiration.

The only option for these unfortunate people is to send their XBox to Microsoft and incur costs of $200 or more, and then possibly wait for more than two months for its return.

But now there is another option available other than incurring heavy costs and being without your XBox console for months.

A number of XBox and electronic fanatics developed simple techniques for repairing their own consoles from the XBox Ring Of Death. These techniques that they developed proved to be exceedingly successful, and they have now produced guides that will enable every XBox owner to easily repair their own for a fraction of the cost.

These guides show step-by-step procedures for a red light fix. A few of the guides are accompanied by clear video demonstrations to follow, very useful for novices.

My recommendation if you are looking for an XBox repair guide, as there are a number of inferior guides around, is that you visit a site that has reviewed and tested the top repair guides.
