I survived an RROD!


Recommended Posts

A few days ago, I turned on my XBOX 360 and to my utter shock, it presented me with three red rings. To be perfectly honest, I never thought it was gonna quit on me ! I turned it off and turned it on again and surprisingly, everything was back to normal. It did seem rather fishy.

So while moving some furniture around I discovered that my 360 RRODed again! I figured that it might have something to do with a loose power cord considering all the shifting. Turns out I was right and when I properly connected the power cord and everything was back to normal.

So next time your 360 shows you the RROD, you might want to check the power cord. ;)

EDIT: Shoot, I meant "a RROD".

That is why Microsoft ask to check the power cord when calling tech support.

three red rings or 4 red rings?

3 red rings = death

4 red rings = power cord isnt plugged in properly

Very common mistake. People see red and scream 3RROD. I've seen it happen (not to me) where the red rings came up in a different pattern, and people cried they had also been struck by a failing console, when only 2 lights came up :/

I am very sure it was only 3 rings.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

It doesn't die automatically.

It will start 3 ringing more and more often until it doesn't stop anymore.

No ones ever just blows after the first.

Well I can safely say that it hasn't happened since. I guess I am safe! :p
