What do the Red Rings of Death Errors Mean??

What do the "Red Rings of Death" errors mean. There are four common errors for the red rings of death. They all have a different amount of blinking lights, and they don't all mean that you have to send your Xbox360 in to be fixed. Some are so simple you set back and say "your kidding me?" Then of course there's the others where you have to send it back in to be fixed, or fix it yourself. Here is a complete guide to that at this site. I highly suggest you check it out. Here are the issues and what you can do to fix them.

1. One flashing red light- one flashing red light means there is a hardware failure. This usually happens when someone has flashed there Xbox360. This is away some play backup games. I have already talked about that process in my blog. Feel free to check it out for more info. It doesn't have to be caused from that though. If your  Xbox360 shows a error e71 turn off your Xbox360, remove hard drive, remove memory units, and remove all cables including power supply from wall. Plug back in all cables, hard drive, memory units, and power supply. This usually will fix the error(at least it did for me.) I've also been told you can reset your Xbox360 to default settings and it may fix the issue(didn't work for me). If it says e74 error you may need to send your Xbox360 since that error has a 3 year warranty, or use the link above to get your own manual on how to fix the red lights.
2. Two flashing red lights- This is caused from overheating of your Xbox360. If caught early there are steps you can take that are pretty simple. First make sure your Xbox360 doesn't have anything on top of it. Such as a DVD player, game cases, DVD cases etc. Also make sure its not in a enclosed space that retains heat. If it is overheating turn off your Xbox360 and let it cool down. There is a fan attachment that can be put on the back of your Xbox360. It can be found at amazon.com, and just about any department store. Thing about amazon.com is you maybe able to find it cheaper. Buy a can of air and spray it in the air vents to remove accumulated dust. make sure your not doing this with the can pointed down or in angle no liquid is blown inside. If none of the above works may need to contact support at xbox.com or get a repair manual to fix own your own.
3. Three flashing red lights- This means there is a hardware problem, or a issue with the power supply. If your power supply light is green remove from the back of your Xbox360, unplug from outlet, and remove outlet cord from power supply. Put back all connections firmly, and connect back to your Xbox360. If three flashing lights continue console may need to be sent for repairs your Flashing light guide may need to be used.  Issues with the power supply I'm doing a whole post on soon.
4. Four flashing red lights- This means your Xbox360 doesn't detect your AV cable.(the cords with the different colored ends) Try this turn off your Xbox360 and T.V. Disconnect the cord from the back of your Xbox360 and from the ports on the back of you T.V. Reconnect the cables back in the Xbox360 and the T.V. If that doesn't work trying using a different T.V. If problem remains try using different AV cable.

That is the usual issues for the Red Rings of Death errors, and as I stated many can be fixed without opening your Xbox360. If you have to do this to repair it I strongly suggest you get a repair guide that goes step by step with you on fixing the issue. You can get one here check it out. I'm going to do a whole post on the issues with the power supply cause it has its own. You can also find this same info at xbox.com. Please comment if you have any questions.

What Causes The "Most Hated" Red Rings of Death

What causes the Red Rings of Death? There are two really common reasons for this issue. One is your Xbox360 isn't get the right amount of power, and the second common issue is overheating. The issue of not enough power is a easy fix and you won't have to open your Xbox360 and lose your warranty with them. There are a couple of easy troubleshooting steps that can be taken to fix this issue.
1. Restart your Xbox360
2. If the issue remains check the cables in the back of your Xbox360 one could be lose cord. Make sure your Xbox360 is turned off and remove all cords. Also remove the power supply from the wall. At this time put all cords back in the proper place including the power supply. Plug the power supply back in ant turn on your Xbox360.
3. If that doesn't work repeat step 2, and also remove the hard drive and memory unit if you have one. Now plug back in your cords, and power supply back into the wall with out attaching the hard drive. If you don't receive the error again turn it off, remove the power supply from the wall. Reattach hard drive and memory unit plug power supply back in a turn on console.
4. If your still having issues check your surge protector. It may not allow for you Xbox360 to get the proper amount of power it needs.Turn off your Xbox360, and remove the power supply plug from the surge protector and plug it in directly into the wall outlet. If problem doesn't continue with it plug in directly into the wall than the issue is your surge protector.

These are some very simple steps I would suggest you take before opening your Xbox360, or sending it in for repairs and waiting 6 weeks or more to get it back. If you think it maybe overheating than turnoff your Xbox360, and let it cool. Then remove it from any closed in area that would hold in heat around. Here is a tip: don't put any other devices on top your Xbox360. Such as DVD players, game cases, movie cases etc. When you do this you cover the vents your Xbox360 can not breath properly. You couldn't either laying on your back with a pound of weight on your stomach. It also helps to have it in its standing position. Another tip: buy a can of air blow it in the vents to remove accumulated dust. That also works even better if the Xbox360 has been opened up. There are also issues that could be caused by your power supply alone that you may wanna check. I have another section on that in my blog. If problems persist this where you wanna contact Xbox360 support to try to get the issue fixed. If you wanna do it yourself I suggest this site. Complete step by step guides on how to fix the red rings of death. Also has great info on how to back up you Xbox360 games which can extend there life. *Warning* I've explained this before in my blog, I want to say it again. If you open your Xbox360 on your own you will lose the warranty. So make sure its worth it to you. Any questions be sure to comment.

Everyting4360 is a site that offers alot of info for newbies and the ability to download xbox 360 games. Examples of info that Everything4360 offers would be how to fix the red rings of death without sending it in, how to copy the games to disk, what kind of disk can you use, where to get the mod chips you'll need, and much more. Now the complaint's you here about the site on the web. The one I hear the most is that you can download games for free without paying. This is true, but what can't you get for free on the Internet? Just cause you can get it for free doesn't mean you know how or where to get it. Like I already stated Everything4360 is perfect for newbies who don't have this info, or don't wanna do the work to learn how. They give you all the info to do this. So to make it plain and simple its not fake they do offer the info to copy the games, and the software to copy them. Much much more in information about the process.
