i have found a cure for red lights of death

last week my 21 month old system got the red lights i was devastated as most people would be but i didn't panic. i checked all the cables they were fine all plugged in correctly. i then check the power pack its slightly warm so i decide to leave it for a while to cool down. i then remembered that some problems can be caused by dust getting into the system.

THIS IS MY CURE USE A VACUUM CLEANER/HOOVER TO SUCK OUT THE DUST FROM THE SYSTEM.

i did exactly that on the ventilation holes and i fired it up and it worked no red lights just pure gaming pleasure. hope this helps other people like it helped me.

lol very funny

Hopefully that will never happen is my 360! Using a vacum is a good idea in my opinion and if it works that amen to you.

What does the red lights of death actually do...I never saw it...

well you know on the front of the system around the power button there are 4 lights that usually light up green well if 4 light up red then you haven't plugged it in properly which isn't bad but if you get 3 then that means its a problem with the hardware that only Microsoft can fix but if you let the power pack cool and hopefully use a vacuum to get the dust out then it could work again if it still doesn't work the you need to send it to Microsoft.

i wish i had tried that, i might not even get my 360 back before christmas. :(

unlucky dude i would send it back, mine has worked fine no problems whatsoever.master-renagade

Yeah i have. Sometimes the only option is to give and send it in. :)

I bet using a can of air in the ventalation things would work toDawq902

yea probably just anything that gets the dust away from the system, in the summer i use a fan to blow anything away from it and to keep it cool.
