How do I make the RROD happen faster?

I know, I know. But before you think I'm crazy, I have a legitimate purpose to kill my Xbox 360.

Actually, it's more like euthanasia because my Xbox 360 is slowly dying. Recently, on the start-up menu, I got a checkerboard pattern and that's when I started to have problems. Now, I notice that it takes a long time for textures to load in certain games and it's starting to freeze - even on the dashboard.

I'm pretty sure these are symptoms of a dying 360, but can anyone shed some light? Is my 360 doomed or should I not worry? If my 360 is doomed to the gates of hell, then I just want to get it over with so that I can send it in, get it repaired, and play Mass Effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Leave it on a whole day? Put teh famous towels around it to keep it hot, place it on top of a DVD and watch a few movies, etc. I am too worried about my xbox getting RROD especially now with so many good games to play!

I know! I'm not angry because I know it will be taken care of, but I wish this didn't happen now.

As for the towel trick, I though it had the reverse effect on the 360. Like it magically brings it back to life.

Kill it with fire! XDCharlie852

Good solution, but I don't think Microsoft would accept that for repairs.

leave it on and insolate it with a towel or something lol

I find this rather funny, good luck man

Yeah, checkered screen is the first sign. BlueBarad

Thanks.

Put a PS3 game in it;) SaintRasmus

and the shake the console;)

plug most of the air-holes >=), that'll show the bastardsWiiNet

lmao! XD

I am also trying to force the RROD process because my disk drive is broken and I already filed for a free red ring repair. I have gotten the rings to come up a couple times but everytime they go away. I'm currently leaving my xbox on but I want to speed it up.SeanDog123

I was thinking the same thing but I didn't want to "force it". Thankfully bioshock killed it in about 30 minutes, so my recommendation is play bioshock:)dgbiker1

That's funny because BioShock wouldn't load the textures to quick. Do you have the same symptoms?

Well... You could try dropping it out of an upstairs window.
:P

Yep, checkerboard freezing and dashboard freezing= dying 360.

It should only take another day or so.

Next time but it at Best Buy and get the warranty plan. My two year warranty ends in January but my Xbox is running slow and is incredibly loud. I've been waiting for them to offer the two free games with the Elite so I can take back my pro bundle and only spend the $50 more + tax. Nice part about waiting till after the price drop is technically my version of the Xbox (no HDMI input on mine) is no longer in the store so they have to give me full dollar value on what I paid rather than just offering me the replacement. And then I get Forza and Marvel Alliance game, not exactly dying to play either but I'll just loan it out to friends and let them take adavantage.

He he, Let's just hope that they don't see this. ;)

HaHaHa, that happened to my old 360 too, it was load as hell, hen a few days later it croaked,

When it was away at MS, I missed the Bioshock release, but they gave me a brand new Forza 2 along with a new console,

if you send it to be fixed, DON'T send your hard drive, that way you can keep your Saves and GP

I'll try putting a blanket or something on it. But can anyone confirm the symptoms of my 360 with a dying the 360? Like, did this happen to anyone...any Xbox 360 doctors in the house? One more thing, will I loose my game saves or is that connected to my gamercard?Lanezy

Mine just started freezing with everything. No texture or checkerboard problems for me.

Put your 360 in a NON-Ventilated area. So that it will over-heat and break.

UPDATE

After about 15 minutes in a blanket, my Xbox 360 showed me two red rings, which means that the internal temperature far exceeds the acceptable limit.

Now what?

Put a PS3 game in it;) SaintRasmus

lmao

Did the blankets give you the rings? Im about to do the same thing.SeanDog123

It caused me to get two red lights when I left it on with a blanket on it for about 15 minutes. It make take a couple of hours or days before anything happens.

TRIAL BY FIRE!!!

my 360 wont read anymore of my games and the warranty doesnt cover that so i need to get the RRoD. let me know what works. thanks

I don't know why you covered it with a towel...that was to FIX the RROD issue temporarilyas it gives the internal temp a chance to resolder the contact points or something like that.

I think leaving it on is you're only choice but since you have no way of taxing the GPU now, I think you may have to keep it wrapped and hope for the best

put it on the carpet and in a badly ventilated area.. like under a towel.. and if they ask how you get the RRoD obviously dont say "LOL I WRAPEDF IT IN A TOWEL TO HEAT IT UP!!"dipper145

haha, thanks. thats what i'm gonna have to do then.

• place 360 near your house's natural gas line
• rupture the line
• place any other flammable objects (polyester clothing, newspapers, household pets, parents, etc.) near ruptured gas line (make sure to tie them up with duct tape for best effect)
• place incendiary source in the path of ruptured gas line (matches, fireworks, lighter); add lighter fluid, gasoline, hair spray, or any other accelerant deemed necessary
• watch hilarity ensue

lmao :lol:

If the suggestions in this thread don't work, go see the other thread: "500 ways to get red rings of doom." The suggestions over there are much better; especially the part that says "stick your dick in the 360." Haha.
