Xbox 360 Ring of Death Repair - *Updates*

All right so what is going on with this site?

I mean, it hasn’t been uploaded in like months!

Well, as it turns out, I’ve actually been really sick and then really busy lately. But the part I want to talk about is the busy part. Sorry, I’m not one to cry about having the flu though, so you’ll have to feel bad for someone else ;p.

But more and more parents seem to be coming to me lately and asking if I can fix their Xbox 360, and honestly I don’t mind, and usually get some cookies or some pocket change for doing it. But I want to de-myth something (if you will), about new systems not getting the Ring of Death or Three red lights, whatever you want to call it.

The truth of the matter is, even the new systems are still receiving the red light errors. I admit, not as frequent, but almost just as bad. See, the new updated systems still haven’t cracked the code to this overheating problem. Simply put, the design of the system doesn’t allow good airflow, and so rather than cool down the system, it just heats it up. And when it heats up, it melts things and bends them out of place.

Now the solution is simple, and the reviewed guides on this site can fix the problem tonight, and get you or your kids back to playing call of duty tonight.

Okay, so with that load off my chest. The next thing is about the updates i’m planning on making to the website. Lately I’ve received additional emails about certain programs, that weren’t discussed in the reviews, so I will be going back and personally running through each review and adding a lot more detail so you know what to expect. Especially adding videos of the process where I can.

Secondly, Jimmy Dean (Our Number 2 Top Pick) has recently updated and revamped his whole website. And I got to admit, for the price it’s far more impressive than any of the other guides we have here on Xbox Repairs. I will be doing a completely new and full review on his guide as time permits, as well as be moving him to our Number one pick. I will be removing the Chris Jones xbox repair guide as well as the 360 fix kit reviews, as I feel that both are not in the best interest of our supporters. Especially not when you can much better and more capable guides from Jimmy Dean at the same price.

Thirdly. I will be going more indepth about the process of receiving a lot of the different errors on the xbox and what you can do to prevent them or overcome them.

That’s all for now.

How You Could Avoid Wasting Your Money And Your Time, By Making One Simple Choice!

Guys, yesterday was one of the worst days of my life! Me and my friend Pete were playing Xbox 360 live, brand new copy of Madden and drinking a couple of beers.  And like many systems his age (2 days old). He got the 3 red lights.

Now, I’ve fixed my own Xbox 360 with guides before, and was all about fixing his system right there. But Pete wouldn’t have it, he was convinced that I would break the system or something worse.

So Pete looked it up, and sure enough, he didn’t have a warranty for his system and wasn’t looking to fork over $150 to get it shipped and fixed at Microsoft HQ. And hey can you blame the guy? It takes like 2-3 months and there’s so many horror stories on whether or not you get your system back in one piece.

So I pushed. And Pushed… For him to just let me fix it.

He wouldn’t have it. He just kept being a baby and fought it. Well being the headstrong guy I am, I told him I was fixing it, and he stomped off! Now remember I’ve done this more than once, so it took me like 42.8 minutes to fix his system (give or take a few milliseconds). But me and Pete wouldn’t stop arguing.

I said look…

I’ve done this hundreds of times for spare cash, you know I fixed our friend john’s xbox, so cool it. Let’s just turn it on and drink some more beer till we can’t feel feelings anymore.

Well Pete calmed down a bit, and agreed. He asked me how much I paid to learn all of this; I told him how I spent $29.95 for it.

How I got…

    For far less than what Microsoft wanted from me, and did it with absolutely no risk or wait time.

    Pete was impressed, cried a little, and passed out after I kicked his ass in madden.

    Was an all right night I guess.

    I’ve seen this question surfacing a lot lately on forums as well as places like yahoo answers. So I wanted to make a quick post just to update everyone, and let you guys know just what to look for.

    But first, if you don’t know, the recent releases of the new Xboxs have been an attempt to cut down on the Ring of Death also known as the Xbox 360 Red Ring. And for those of you who have gotten the Falcon, you probably already have received the Ring of Death or are hoping it never shows up (knock on wood). Unfortunately the Falcon has been reported to still receive the deadly Ring of death.

    So what makes the Jasper special? Simply put, less heat, therefore, hopefully no ring of death. They’ve shrunk the GPU and CPU down to 65nm, in the previous release of the Falcon, the GPU was full size, and they had only shrunken the CPU down to 65nm.

    Needless to say, a few of our recent Xbox repairs were on the Falcon.

    Figuring out whether or not you have a Jasper is quite simple.

    You just need to see what the Amp rating is; you can find this located on the bottom left corner of the back plate, just above the “MADE IN CHINA w/ LEAD PAINT” sticker. For those looking to purchase one, it’s right next to the barcode, so you can see if you’re getting a known ring of death system or not.

    If it says 12V - 14.2A:5V you are staring at a Falcon (RUN!)

    If it says 12V - 12.1A:5V you are looking at a Jasper

    I’d be curious to hear some reviews on the Jasper and whether or not anyone has received the Ring of Death aka Xbox 360 Red Ring. So Leave A Comment~

    Xbox 360 E67, E68, E69 Hard Drive Failure

    Now I don’t feel this video is quite as informative, as it could be, so I will go into some more detail as to some of the other things you can try.

    E67 Error- This error commonly happens when the Hard Drive is defective. Unplug, replug it back up and try it… If it still doesn’t work, replace the hardrive (hdd).

    E68 Error- You May have a faulty security sector. Your HDD may be fried. (Replace it) This error commonly happens with a defective hard drive, or because of a bad eeprom/security sector.

    E69 Error- Defective Hard Drive, Unplug it, Plug it back up. If you still receive this error, replace the hard drive.

    So basically unplug it… plug it back in… Or replace it =(

    If You Have Received The 2 Red Lights, Read This Immediately; It Could Mean Your System’s Health!

    First off, thank god you read this before your system got worse. You may not know this, but you’re extremely close to having a disaster of a night. You’re about to get the Xbox 360 3 Red Lights and once you hit that point; you’ll become desperate for an immediate fix.

    I’ve seen all my friends do it, and I don’t want to see you fall into the trap of buying just any old 3 red lights repair manual for a buck off ebay. Between Ebay and Forums, these are the worse places to get instructions on repairing virtually everything.

    First off, you must know that 2 red lights mean that your system is already overheating, and that it’s probably melting it’s insides as we speak. That’s not good Johnny. So before you go into a frantic, subscribe to every Xbox forum that some 12 year old in Taiwan regularly post too and/or buy a manual off ebay; know that I have done all the hard work for you.

    So here’s what you need to know.

    If your system has started freezing or having lock ups, then the process has started, and you need to fix the problem. Now you could send it to Microsoft, spend a pretty penny in repairs, and possibly lose not only games and hardware but also your time. 500,000 other people are doing the same thing right now, they’re sending it to Microsoft and beating their head waiting.

    So why would you do that?

    So some immediate fixes you can do, are to put your system in an open space where it can get a lot of air. Maybe put a fan over it. Make sure that nothing on the system is covered. Make sure it’s on a hard surface, nothing soft like cloth.

    DO NOT; wrap a cold towel around it, as this will only speed up the process of the overheating and final conclusion of your system as it steps over into 3 red lights.

    You can find complete instructions regarding the 3 red lights on our website, should your problem go over the edge.
