(X360) About the old Red Ring of Death Hardware failure problem that existed before...

Tanalbi · Nov 7, 2021

I've heard that newer models of the original Xbox 360 (The Arcade (Or Fat) Edition one, i mean) didn't presented that problem anymore, how do i actually check if my Xbox (I have the original one, but a newer model with HDMI) is one of these RROD-less models?

It has a Jasper connector PSU and my exact model is WA 98052-6399, i think.

I don't care about warranty, cuz, as you already may know, it doesn't matters anymore.

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. I believe there is no way to confirm this, as these older consoles from the original Xbox 360 model, according to what is reported, all may have the red light issue at some point.

Although some models have these problems less frequently.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

Red Ring of Death or RRoD is a known hardware failure in the old gen consoles. You will have to get a new console and I suggest you to upgrade to the new gen.

And if the logo does not have light moving over the ball at the startup screen this is preemptive to general hardware failure ie "red dot of death/rrod/ red ring of death".

aaaaaaaaaaaagh

Noedit: Hardware failure, three red rings of death. It's an original 360 so they refuse to do out-of-warranty repairs.

1 light is hardware failure, 2 lights is overheating, If it's 3 red lights, then you have the ring of death aka "general hardware failure", and 4 lights is an AV cable error
