XBOX 360 RROD FIX on YouTube

Is your XBOX 360 kicking out the RROD error? Problems pertaining to the XBOX 360 such as the inability of the disc to be read, issues with the disc ejecting or the presence of 3 red lights and their solutiosn are found at most of the free video sites such as YouTube.

Many people with problems pertaining to the XBOX 360 will turn to YouTube for repair solutions Video solutions like those found on YouTube can be risky and may make things worse rather than better.

One problem with some of the amateur video tutorials online is the poor video quality and in some aspects the add creativity of the video producer. Most of the video’s are very so poorly recorded that both the sound and visual quality are equally bad. Creativity is great, but in some cases it can be very damaging to the person believing it will work. Often you will find that videos have some minimally useful comments. I say minimally because you really do not know who’s commenting and the motivations behind the comments. It could be the actual video producer, not a real user for all we know. Or it could be someone who’s XBOX 360 was temporarily fixed, they left a comment after fixing it, only to realize a few weeks later that it didn’t solve their problem when the RROD’s came back.

There is a very common problem with the XBOX 360 disc drive. The problem ranges from the disc drive not opening to problems that prevent the laser from reading the disc so it gives an “unreadable disc” error.

While there are many possible causes of the problems, some possible sources are the magnet inside the hood of the XBOX 360 which is disconnected from other parts of the drive area, the spring in the interior needing to be adjusted, a rubber bumper that requires some attention due to dirt building up on the spindle the bumper sits on, and other areas that may need to be cleaned. All of these types of repairs are inside the XBOX 360 console where the motherboard, fan, processor and other sensitive componants like the lazer are housed. The key is to avoid breaking or bending the little parts that site on the motherboard, keeping your fingers from contaminating specific vulneralbe parts that will not work if your oily fingers touch them when poking around and handling the motherboard while trying to repair it.

Those are just a few problems. There are also many YouTube solutions to these problems. One of them includes placing a hair band on the little rubber bumper, which you would think most people would be smart enough to know a bad idea when they see it. Unfortunetly a lot of people trust the producers of these Video’s to solve their problems as if these people really understand the inner workings of such a complex computer part like a motherboard or processor. And that is the problem with watching YouTube video’s to solve your XBOX 360 repair issues.

So, what is the answer to your XBOX 360 errors that need to be repaired? If not YouTube or some other free video resource, where do you turn? Should you pay the big bucks and ship it off for repair at Microsoft, which costs $149.00 plus 2 - 4 weeks of wait time? Personally, I recommend you avoid the freebie online video tutorials as a source for fixing your XBOX 360 3 rings of death errors. However, I’m not recommending that you pay Microsoft $149.00 to fix it either. There is indeed another repair-it-yourself solution.

While there are many online XBOX 360 repair guides ranging in price from $22.95-$29.95, users should be wary of the copy-cat amateur tutorials that could cost you time, money and a really bad result; a broken and non-repairable XBOX 360 console.
