I have the Gears of War 3 Xbox Slim, and it has the RDOD. I've tried taking it apart to clean it, unplugging everything and putting it back then restarting the system, and basically every trick on youtube... Whenever I start my console the light on the power bar turns green, but turns back to orange within seconds. While that's going on, my xbox just has a red light. There's no error message or anything on my TV either when I turn it on. Is there anything I can do to fix it? EDIT: I've looked at other posts, and no there is no rings, so I will call it the red dot of death.

I understand you are looking for a quick fix, but contact Microsoft

I'm willing to bet the cooling system (the fan) is not working so your system is overheating and shutting down
