If you're seriously looking for an answer. Try google.

But if you got the Red Ring, you should still be within warranty. It's 3 years now...

K dude pay attention. First fill up your bathtub with some really cold water and toss the 360 in there for about 5 minutes. Next go to best buy and get yourself a new Elite! Problem fixed! If that is not an option go onto youtube and look there for a fix. It will be in the section with the guy who fried an egg on his xbox. Good luck!

I think your best option right now is to get a $199 xbox 360 arcade with a jasper chipset...

Whatever, if this guy wants a real response he can go to the broken 360 thread where there are already 150,00 of these threads.

best thing that I would recommend is getting an arcade and using the HDD from the old one. Fixing it isn't really an option unless you are some computer wizard or something. Only problem with getting an arcade is that it cost 200 bones.

Oh ok. You pretty much have to have a launch console to be outside of the 3 year warranty. I guess you fall into that boat...

But you're saying you DID google it? Because the 2nd (yes, the 2nd one) video result is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=413WF2H8ek0

Hope that helps...if not, buy an Arcade 360

K, all sarcasm aside. Go to youtube. There are tons of videos there on how to fix 360's. Good luck finding what you need.

Its not that hard to fix the RROD problem. Do a search at google for Xclamp/360 red lights fix.

Ive fixed 4 consoles myself. Only cost abotu 10$ at the most to fix to.

If your 360 is out of warranty check out the fixes available (not the towel bs trick), anyone can do i, as you get a video to show you what to do and a booklet PDF file to help you fix it aswell.

You basically replace the xclamp with a screw and some washers, so its more sturdy and not a problem. You also clean off the CPU and GPU and put new heatsink compound on.

Your best bet is probably just paying $90 or whatever to get it fixed. After that, your RROD warranty would restart.
