Causes and fixes for the “Red Ring of Death” condition know to afflict the Xbox 360. by Jack Summers
This article pertains to known causes and potential remedies for a popular fault known to befall Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Games Console. Read on to learn more.
Firstly I will outline the condition of the problem. The problem is whereby, on power up of the console, three red lights will be displayed around the power switch, the console will then fail to power on in the normal manner.
These three lights pertain to an error that the console is having problems with one more internal hardware components.
The main cause of this error is generally believed to be, however, a potentially avoidable one whereby the GPU or CPU is overheating because of poorly designed elements holding the heat sinks for the processors in place tightly enough, or the degradation caused by heat or time of the thermal paste which in turn leads to overheating of the processors because minimized ability of the paste the transfer heat away.
It should be understood however that a number of other conditions such as a poor power supply to the console or degradation of soldering points because of cycles of heating or cooling could also be the cause of this error.
If the console is under warranty then an obvious remedy for the problem is to send it back to Microsoft where you will be sent a reconditioned console, which may or may not be the one you sent to them.
If however your console is not under warranty then a potentially cheap and easy way for you to remedy, fix, or repair this problem is by buying an X-Clamp Fix Kit which addresses the most common cause of the problem. Some anecdotal evidence points to repair success rate of up to 90% for such kits, repairing your console at least until such time that it may become beset by potentially more serious problems such as soldering point degradation, such problems only able to be remedied with techniques such as reballing.
These X-Clamp fix kits typically contain new screws and washers which are better at holding the heat sinks to the chips than the X-Clamps which Microsoft ships with the console, typically also contained in the kits are alcoholic solution to clean any degraded thermal paste and also new thermal paste to bind the new hardware. Easy to follow documentation is usually also provided to aid you in what, is generally, a straight forward repair.
