QUOTE^^^
To get this covered under the new 36 month warranty, I have to cause the RROD (red ring of death)... Does anybody know how to cause your console to permanently display the RROD without opening the case so I can send this b*tch back to MICROSOFT??

Remove this or you will be banned its considered fraud believe me i know theres a possibility of you getting banned for asking a question like this

Guess what I did. After trying every option I called Microsoft Support Centre and explained my problem and said that I had removed my warranty sticker. The guy on the phone answered to me that the technicians don't look too good if the warranty is voided. They would come get my Xbox360 and if they would find out that I voided my warranty I would get a call and it would cost me 75 euro (around 100 dollars I think) without taxes for the repair. I got no phonecall and after 1,5 week I got a brand new (!!!) xbox with a manufacturing date of september 2007, a Ghost Recon faceplate and a 20GB hard disc drive! So thanks Microsoft!

Moederfietser, you are very lucky :-P To the rest of you who haven't been eating lucky charms constantly, what I did to fix my box is as follows:

1st: The box was old... so I put in "the darkness" and used it to update the dash. I did this using the sound and guessing... At some point if it's asking if you want to update the dash, you will have only 2 options, which you can tell by listening as you press up and down on the d-pad.

This fixed the issue for a while, but alas... it was not permanent.

2nd: I used rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the mobo [it has a strange residue on it, I'm assuming the previous owner spilt some energy drink on it...]

3rd: Purchased and installed the X-clamp fix which was ridiculously easy..

4th: Powered on console, powered down again and let sit for a fair while, booted up again and it was working perfectly and has been since. Good luck!

yup same thing happened to me today! was only using the xbox for watching movies through my external harddrive and the colors went kind of greyscale in the movie! when i went back to the dashboard it was the same as the movie. so I shut it off and back on again but I recieved a no signal/mode not supported every time i tried to start it up. I really hope by leaving it running i will get rrod or i am screwed as the warrenty is expired! if anyone figures this out please email me the fix! Thx

I like to suggest you all, that video problem can be fix by heated treaded and X-clamp removed.
I had repaired several console with no video signal successfully.
Strip off heat sink from MOB, clean up. Reflow heat gun, especially HANA and GPC area and video connector area. Top and buttom. Warring, let MOB to cool down before you flip.
Use 2x1mm washer between MOB and heatsink.
There is alot of tutorial for that.
You will be happy after you did that.

Same thing just happened to me last night! Blurry dim colors right in the middle of a game, then it went grayscale. I turned off the console and when I turned it back on - no signal.  sad.gif  No audio, no video. Please someone help. I was using standard A/V cables. Can this be fixed?


HEY THERE i got a fix for you!

the same shit happened to me, EXACTLY THE SAME DUDE (i tried fkin everything, even the Y + RT trick, with no results). I called microsoft and they said my video card was ruined. SO i said no thanks to the 140$ fix and thought to get a red ring of death so i would be covered by warranty (not a good idea). my last hope was gone and I said to myself... LET'S DO IT

so i put it in my BIG winter blanket so it could overheat. i did that for 25 minutes (without hard drive or DVD) and waited until it was pretty hot.

then i waited 10 minutes to cool a bit

Then i plugged it in, and my xbox ventilators were going crazy because of all the previous heat. i had to resync my controller 3 times (i don't know why, maybe part of the fix, who knows) until my tv got FINALLY the signal

BUT it was all weird and looking the same as before it went off (like green stuff everywhere and blurry i dont know), so i got to display settings, and put my xbox in "best settings for my tv" and thant in "1080P" mode (even if my tv is 720P)  and my tv got reset at the same time as my xbox and everything worked like before!!! ohmy.gif

i don't know if I went lucky or it's a real fix but... it WORKED!!!

what do you have to lose? i had 140$ to lose, so i did it. but if you are covered, don't try it.

PS: i will test if its a permanent fix, and give news about it.
