Turbo Nijlpaard · Oct 6, 2015

Hi there,

A half year ago my friend had a xbox, while playing the xbox redringed.

So he bought a new one but now im trying to fix his old xbox.

When i boot up the console for the first time it worked, i could play games. But when i restarted it Redring.

I took it apart and could not find the error, everything was fine only a lot of dust ( Cleaned it).

I dont know the error and i dont know what to do now.

Any help would be great.

my foruth consel is now not working

I had an original white 20gb console and it broke 3 times. red ring of death 3 times. so finally I got pissed off enough at needing to keep getting repaired so I purchased an xbox 360s. NOW at approximately 1.5 years old, this console is now giving me the
solid red dot of death. and now they want me to pay yet again to repair it.

this is just ridiculous.

Sorry to say but discussion of self repair is not allowed on the forums. We can't help you here.

We can't help you here. Since the Xbox works some of the time, it's probably heat. Google. Opening your console is against Microsoft TOS.

Sadly what you are experiencing is the "red dot of death", just like the original xbox 360's "red ring of death" it signals that your Xbox 360 S has a hardware failure and you will either need to repair or replace your Xbox 360 S. Sorry that I don't have
better news for you.

If it's flashing red light, it's a sign that the console has overheated, if it's just solid red light, it's known as the "Red Dot of Death", which is the same as the older models of Xbox 360's "Red Ring of Death",

Here's a link to someone who has the same problem with their Xbox 360 S...

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".

The red dot on the slim console is basically the new red ring of death.

Your only option is to send it in for repair or buy a new console.
