How to fix the Red Ring Of Death.

[Crazy Bartender]

I read that a few people where having problems with it. It's happened to me about 10 times and all I done is unplugged it and left it to cool down for half an hour. Then I changed the fuse in the scart, plugged it in and it worked.

Can someone try that and get back to me and see if it works? :).

Do you mean the fuse in the plug? I don't remember scarts having fuses :S

That's what I mean. And when I've let my xbox cool down and replaced the fuse it always worked.

So do you recon the Xboxs are shipped out with cheap fuses? It may still burn out anyway, but it does give a solution to what to do.

It worked for me all them times - I hope it works for you ;).

And I reckon they do cheap fuses. Because it'll be making them money - they'll need to fix the xbox and people will probably buying new ones because it's quicker then waiting 2 weeks+ and such :P.

It happened to me around 3 weeks after i got mine, to my horror i turned it off and then back on and it worked? Never had the rrod since.

Lol. That happened to me the other day. It started flashing red just after I was playing Crackdown and I turnt it off and back on and it worked :).

Hasn't happened since either.

I got the rrod after about 3 months of buying my 360, sent it to microsoft and they sent out a new one.

Considering the minimal price of a fuse, I doubt it.

If it were the fuse in the plug there'd be no need for us to send the console back alone and return a new or fixed xbox to the original plug/fuse.
