MY X-BOX has three red rings of death and i tried to fix by puting the cooling stuff on the heat thinks and it didnt work so what else can i do to really fix it.

All you can do is send it back to Microsoft for a free repair - but that's only if you haven't taken it apart yourself. If you hadn't tampered with it, you would have been covered by their promise to fix any Xbox 360 that had a natural red ring. Because you took it apart to put stuff on the heat sinks, they can dispute that you caused the red ring, and so you basically fucked yourself.

Doesn't that mean you can't send it to Microsoft for free repairs?

A. Don't put it somewhere where the vent is paritally blocked. B. Get a bigger memory storage so it isn't working at full capacity everytime you play a game. C. Don't play so damn often

>>5 Can you still send it in at all? Mine had three lights in the red ring light up a while back. I was out of warranty, but I could still send it in. I jut had to pay for it.

>>9 Lol I don't think that would work. Shame on you. :P

>>8 since this is about xbox im not doubting you, especially since ive left a game on for at least 24 hours on my ps2. but since this is about xbox, and a good chunk of people are getting redringed, apparently its an issue. Never had a dreamcast, so i could care less how well yours runs. My comment was directed 100% towards the person who made this thread
