XBOX 360 E: Red Dot of Death (Temporary Fix) [READ DESCRIPTION]

  • I got the notorious red ring of death a few days ago and I found a TEMPORARY fix by experimenting. 1. Press and hold the power button.
    2. The outer ring should start flashing and the Xbox should boot up right after.
    3. You may have to repeat this several times to get it to work.
    4. If it never works, then your Xbox is truly dead until you get it fixed by a technician.
    Note: This applies only to the Xbox 360 E, which is the newest and last version of the 360. This is a temporary fix that only works long enough for you to get your game save data transferred to hard drive. This most likely will not work on other Xbox 360 models.

      @FSM_Reviews  Před 4 měsíci

      Imma be honest. I was kind of moron back in 2016.
      So I liked to play Forza Horizon, and I only had the disc version of the game. As you probably know, the disc gets noisy when it spins up. But my stupid a** thought it was the fan being noisy. Guess what I did? I hammered the damn thing with my fist right where the fan was. The CPU and GPU happened to be right under there as well. Eventually something in there, probably some solder joints, fractured to the point where I got the red dot/ring of death.
      0/10 would not recommend punching your Xbox.
