Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death Repair – In less than 1 hour!

Before you start repairing your Xbox 360 Red Ring Of Death, let’s go over what NOT to do! Xbox 360 Red Ring Of Death repairs don’t start by wrapping your Xbox in a towel or heating it up with a hair dryer! This repair method will not be permanent and the problem will only get worse as the root cause of Xbox 360 red lights is heat! I guarantee your Xbox 360 doesn’t need new parts! However, if you use so-called Xbox 360 repair methods, you will turn a temporary problem into a permanent one, and you will end up spending a fortune on replacement parts. Two very important points: 1) What is the cause of the red ring of death on Xbox 360?

2) Why is my Xbox 360 constantly freezing? As mentioned above, the cause is heat. When the motherboard gets hot, it starts to vibrate and the vibrations cause the GPU (graphics processing unit) to become loose. Once the GPU loosens, your game freezes and you have the dreaded Xbox 360 3 red ring of death. Any “fix” that involves heat will only make the problem worse. Xbox 360 Red Ring Of Death repairs involve taking the system apart and placing a spacer between the motherboard and the heat sink (the cooler). This spacer can be a washer, something to create some space to allow the motherboard to “breathe” when it gets hot. So, as you can see, you can do Xbox 360 Red Ring Of Death repairs at home! The whole problem is to prevent the GPU from getting loose. This is not a difficult job, but you will need to take your system apart and carefully insert the washer between the motherboard and the heat sink.

I know this sounds complicated but I promise you it’s not, you don’t need advanced technical skills or special tools to carry out Xbox 360 Red Ring Of Death repairs. You may need the help of a professional Xbox 360 repair guide with step-by-step video instructions. At the bottom of the page you will find links to the guide I used.
