XBOX: Red Ring of Death

Got the three red light error otherwise known as the ring of death?

If so, don't jump to the conclusion that you have a damaged console. It may be that you are having problems getting adequate electrical power to your Xbox.This is one of the simplest things to fix and you ought to rule this out before any attempt at repair is made. An overheated motherboard is the usual reason for the ring of death. However, unless your Xbox is obviously overheated, you should check that the console is getting the required power.The way to do this is to first start with the power outlet in the wall. There may have been a brief power brownout. This is enough to cause your console to fail.If true, your console should work after restarting it. If not, take a look at the power supply light on the box at the halfway point of the power cord.If the light is green, you're getting adequate power so your problem is something else. If so, you can skip the rest of this article because I will only talk of power related issues.If the power supply light is orange or red or not lit at all, then you're not getting the needed power. There are a few reasons:

1.) The wall outlet in your room is the culprit.Connect the power supply of the console into a wall outlet in a different room.

2.) You have a bad surge suppressor or power strip.These can be bypassed by plugging the power cord directly into the wall outlet.

3.) The power supply cables are loosely connected.With your Xbox turned off, disconnect and firmly reconnect all cable connections beginning with the console and then proceeding to the wall outlet.

4.) The power supply cables are damaged.Inspect and replace all cables that have been damaged.

5.) The power brick is overheating.The power brick is not getting the ventilation necessary for adequate cooling. Place it on a hard surface or hang it from a hook.

6.) The power brick is damaged.Borrow a friends power brick or try a spare. If you don't get the ring of death, then your original power brick was faulty.A trouble shooting procedure was given in this article for the 3 red light error that's related to inadequate power supply.
