Dude, mine red ringed tonight too. Was only temporary though. Overheated and shut the f-down. Dylan’s two-ringed last night. WTF IS GOING ON?! I have no solutions though, but that’s a fucking terrible coincident that all three happened on pretty much the same day.

If its a 2 light red ring of death then it is less of a problem. It means that is overheating, possibly because your system is really dusty inside. Heres a video on how to open that slut up. The video is worth a watch just for the music playing. I need that song.

if you get the real red rings all you gotta do is send the thing in to microsoft and they will send you a new one. I did for my original box. I guess the newer ones dont really get the red ring of death anymore is what i’ve been told but the older ones still do obviously.

I don’t think MS is honoring that repair policy anymore, though they should with their like 65% failure rate or some other absurd number I heard recently. I got the 3 ring last night but for whatever reason it’s working today. Hope that was a fluke.
