Hi, i run a company selling and repairing computers and games consoles. I have repaired many xbox 360's but cant seem to get this one working. Basically whats happening is when the console is turned on, there are no noises an orange light on the power supply and 3 red rings without a green power light. Any ideas?
Many thanks.
Hi, I run a company that points out when peoples problems could be solved by a simple Google search.
Yours can, search 'Xbox 360 RROD.'

Its a technical fault that happens to an xbox 360.

only way to fix it, is to give your shit to microsoft.

Sure you do.

Sure you have. If you have repaired "many" Xbox 360s, you would know perfectly on how to diagnose for its issue.
Hint: Secondary Code.
I agree with Binary, no way in hell would you have repaired xbox 360 consoles that did not have a RROD nor have a company that didn't know what a RROD is.
Take the 360 apart carefully and replace the thermal paste on the CPU(or whatever it is). I remember seeing a video on YouTube that had its thermal paste burned out because Microsoft were cheapskates or something and didn't put enough on in assembly. After you do that and put it back together, you have to make it overheat(to reset something that keeps thinking the 360 is broken) by putting a towel over it and waiting or by putting a small object in the fans.

I don't know how many times I need to repeat that
1. RRoD is a very generic error saying that there's something is wrong with the system. It's not always the GPU unless the secondary code indicates so.
2. Towel trick doesn't fix shit other than ruins your consoles even worse, even though it seems to have worked temporarily.
Isn't the idea with the GPU to heat it up so the solder has a chance to resurface?
Mine was the GPU (don't worry, I checked). I just cracked it open, replaced the thermal paste on [i]everything[/i], put it back together and let it run standing on a shelf with the RROD flashing for about an hour. Turned it off, let it rest for about another half hour, turned it on, and it worked.

If you can melt solder at 70 degrees, i'll be damned
Binary is right its not always a dam RROD meaning it needs bakeing
