Fell asleep playing Skyrim last night...woke up to this son of a bitch staring at me through the darkness.

RRoD is a pretty easy fix. I run a computer and games console repair shop, takes me less than an hour to do. First one I ever did took a little longer, but that one is still going strong! YouTube for instructions, eBay for an RRoD kit (about £2). Use one that has nylon washers, I've found they work best.

Same thing happened to me. Except instead of playing Skyrim I was out partying. Upon further research the next morning, I found out that I had pissed on my Xbox.

Whenthenighthascome · 8 months

Why would this happen? Wouldn't it turn off after 6 hours? Was it the heat?

I've actually sent my xbox360 back to MS twice to have it released from RROD...never charged once...not even for shipping :)

It really is an easy fix. I recommend the heat gun. and arctic silver thermal paste. And a tip to clean the old paste is goo gone. Then use rubbing alcohol ti take that residue off.

The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing. One moment only it stared out...as from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye... Also, when I saw this picture, it said "360 views" Lol!

Mine used to do that to me when playing Red Dead Redemption. Take some compressed air and try blowing all the dust out and see what happens. It might work for you.

Turn it off and back on again.

I guess i never turned my Xbox off and didnt realize it for a couple days. I walked into my game room and i saw the RRoD flashing very fast. I got that sinking feeling in stomach then turned it off and left the room. Went back the next day and it works fine.

I played Skyrim this morning. This afternoon my brother turned my xbox on and I got one red bar. It worried me. I restarted and when it booted I got a message about possible hard drive issues. I'm worried I'll lose my save.

Heimdall2061 · 8 months

You should have acted. They're already broken! The customer service tickets told of their failure. Your uptime was merely a delay, til the time after Skyrim was opened, when the sons of XBox would buy their own doom. But no one wanted to believe. Believe it even existed. And when the truth finally dawned... it dawned in red rings! But there is one they fear. In their tongue, he is PC- Personal Computer!

I would never own an Xbox because of this crap. I used to laugh at RROD shit like this, but I can understand how a console can be a friend.

May your next one be immortal.

LMFAO IRL. Made my day. I usually unplug my power supply, wait a few second, and turn it back on, and it's fine. It's happened twice for me >.>

SxanRR · 8 months

Friend of mine puts toothpicks in the fans on the back so they don't spin and turns the XBox on for 10 - 15 mins, then turns it off to cool down and turns it on again.

Same concept as the "towel trick", heat it up, melt the silicone inside that is jacked up, turn it off so it cools off, turn it back on = w1n (temporarily, eventually the issue will probably happen again).

The only real solution is a new XBox, but the new ones don't seem to have the RRoD issue much at all any more thankfully.
