[myke]

Ok guys, I'm going to purchase an Xbox 360 Elite very soon and don't particularly want to send it back or it go kapput as soon as I get it, so, what causes the red rings of death or w.e and some general care tips for it?

Thanks!

I think the Elite can't get it , it has a certain chip in it.

But anyway , don't let it get TOO hot , i've had mine upright for ages and its never bust

The "Red Rings of Death" is caused by hardware failure primarily due to overheating.

yeh theres VERY few cases of the red ring of death on the elite. but the ones that have had problems is just the power supply (the little box) or the plug itself.

my elite got rrod, but after a few hours it worked again.

it got too hot tho, i had mates round, we all slept in living room, and the xbox was on a quilt, so it got really hot.

RRD. *Shiver*
Elites hardly ever get them.
But take precautions

My 360 Premium has a colling fan on the back in a open area, There is nothing you can do about it, myn is being repaired as we speak. Dont worry if it breaks it doesnt cost you any think, They every pay for the transporting of it..
