  1. Xbox 360 Slim Red Dot


    I had the red dot on my Xbox 360 slim so I decided to take it apart and investigate. When I took out the disk drive it turned on normally and works perfectly fine. However when I plug the disk drive back in it has the red dot again. What can I do to fix
    this? Do I need a new disc drive? Thanks

    :)

    Hello,

    The solid red dot on an Xbox 360 slim usually indicates a malfunctioning component with your console. Phone Xbox support in your region or use the following address to set up a repair.

    For further info regarding the red dot on your console, I would reccomend reading this article -

    My xbox got the "red dot of death"

    I have the 4 GB Xbox 360 Slim, it was sent in and repaired for the red dot. Will it keep happening? What was the original problem? Thanks.

    Hey darknight5656

    By disk drive you mean hard disk drive correct? If that is what you mean then it sounds like you do need a new one. If you're still under warranty then you can get it replaced at
    myservice.xbox.com

    Hello again,

    You shouldn't have opened up your console as that voids your warranty. But since removing the drive did stop the error then that's probably the faulty part.

    Yes I know I don't want Microsoft to fix my console because it isn't under warranty. I can fix it myself I just need to know what needs replaced, but thank you for informing me.

    Solid Red Dot on Xbox Slim

    360 slim - red dot

    Hi Johnson,

    I have just replied to this other thread you commented in, but allow me to answer your specific question here.

    If the console light is red, and while powered on the power supply light is
    green, the
    power supply is at fault.


    Here is how to Order a new Xbox 360 power supply from our online service center.

    Let us know how that goes, or if you have any further questions.

    red dot on xbox 360

    my xbox 360 turns red with an E82 error on screen......tried different HDMI and also different TV...please help
    The red dot seems like an Xbox 360 slim model, if it's like the same post as in this link....

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/rrod/07b1e276-4965-4c91-836a-005684ba20af

    It looks like it's the Red Dot of Death, if it's a solid red dot, it's Hardware Failure as in the console has died,

    Best option would be to upgrade to an Xbox One / S / X, or to save up and wait until late November - December for the Xbox Series S / X.
