How to Fix your Xbox 360

You may feel that Xbox 360 is an older generation console, but it is still very much alive and productive. It is a vintage gaming machine, and a budget streaming box. But just like any other device, it can also break. If your console is showing up red LEDs on the front, then don't worry it is fixable.

What is Red Ring of Death

The RRoD is an online slang; you will find four LEDs surrounding the power button. If your console is normally operating, upper quadrant of the ring will appear to be solid green. One of the four of LED will turn red if the console is experiencing any sort of error.

This is visible only on original Xbox 360 console. Recent models, the Xbox 360 S and the Xbox 360 E only have a single visible LED. For those consoles, you will see some different error codes on tv display.

This code shows hardware failure. It is generally accompanied by an error code like E-74 on TV. Take the following steps to resolve this issue:

1. Just turn off Xbox 360 entirely. All the lights need to be deactivated. You should be able to hear the fan in the console turned off.

2. Disconnect all the cables from and console along with the devices. Devices include the controllers, power sources, USB stick, and some other things.

3. Detach the external hard drive if one is found attached. The external hard drive may prove to be a bump on the top of the console. Hit the release button on the head of the hard drive to lift it.

4. Connect the power source again and start the console again. Join controllers and the accessories one at a time till error gets tripped again.


Shut down the console and attach the hard drive again. Check the drives and reboot the console. If you see the error still, shut the console and contact Microsoft support for any possible repair options.
