What is Red Ring/Light of death in XBOX 360?
Are graphic problems with unique patterns showing up and bugging you in the middle of your game? Are you facing frequent Freeze-ups on your XBOX 360? Are sound errors a part of the usage? If your answer is yes to any one of the above questions and if turning off the power button the only action allowed, then your XBOS 360 is suffering from red ring or light of death problem, the most disreputable problem faced on the Xbox 360 console by its users. These 3 red lights appear around the main power button and indicate a need for servicing and checking the hardware. It is these technical glitches that have given rise to a low rate of success of the XBOX 360.
The first checkpoint here would be to verify the power chord. Verify if the power chord has been inserted completely into the power output console and also check if the XBOX is receiving the desired power. Power surge or fluctuation may also be a reason for the occurrence of the red lights and you need to revisit and reconnect all the plugs. The 3 red lights continue to flash until the XBOX is connected to the power outlet.
A restart usually solves the problem unless it is a hardware failure. A thorough analysis has revealed that most of the errors were hardware related and only a few were due to power disruptions or card or drive errors. Some other related causes could well be due to faulty design, the materials used and the manufacture process. Looking at the failure rate makes one think if the product was even tested properly.
The root cause of this problem may be related to the graphics chip as they tend to give out more heat than the conventional chips. The console is usually exposed to temperature changes. Though heatsinks have been provided, they are not really able to provide adequate cooling solutions as the heat built up during the use is pretty high. This ultimately results in below par performance and affects the stability of the system thus leading to hardware issues. As far as XBOX 360 repair is concerned, you will need to give your XBOX 360 and check with Microsoft for the feasibility of replacement or check nearby repair shop.
