[Guide] Ways to avoid xbox 360 ring of death.
Loveable's Avoid Red Ring of Death Guide For Xbox 360.
Right to start off this guide is 100% created by me and all rights are mine.
Step one.
Keep your xbox lying on the floor, this does not mean stand it up ect. ( as some people are wierd )
While lying on the floor or on the tv unit make sure all the wires are tidy and not cramming up with the xbox to stop air getting the airholes.
Here is a picture to show the xbox lying in its floor/Tv unit position.
; 
Step two.
Make sure the ATV Scart adapter, and powerpack are definatly plugged in properally. This can cause failur to the xbox's
graphic drive which sends the xbox beserk.
 ; Make sure this is plugged in at all times to avoid dissapointment.
 ; Make sure these atv caples are 100% consealed in the adapter.
Step three.
It is recommended every 1-3 days that you clean your xbox thoroughly, for dust, sticky messes, drinks spilled ect.
Doing this will alow the fans to beathe properally without being drowned in dust,drinks & other resources like these.
Just simply get some polish and give it a scrub with a cloth or a tea-towl.
Step four.
Buy your self a extra fan cooling pack, may not have the money but trust me there quite cheap and VERY effective.
You can pick them up for around £30.00 ( 60.00$ ) And this is just a extra precuation taken when avoiding the red rings.
Thanks for this, this is my first user education application, thanks all and hope you enjoy it.

Re: [Guide] Ways to avoid xbox 360 ring of death.
I"ve had the RRoD,
Not fun.
I had to send it in and such, it wasn't on warranty, but they said since at the time there were many reports of the RRoD, they would send me a new one.
I kinow have a cooling unit, etc.

Re: [Guide] Ways to avoid xbox 360 ring of death.
Actually. from what I heard the fan can be bad.
The fan run's opposite of the fan in your xbox, theirfore it could endanger your xbox even further then it already is by interfering with the internal fan. This is what I heard I will have to look into this.
Otherwise, I like the guide, I have had 2 red rings of death before. simply fixed by pulling out my hardrive and put it back in. no problems since.
I like it.
More description would be nice though!
Maybe pick a larger subject

I understand where you are coming from, but as im a xbox addict, i can assure you that they have fixed the fans and updated them with the same rotation as the 360.

Re: [Guide] Ways to avoid xbox 360 ring of death.
bigthing with step 4 if you call up and need to send your xbox do not tell them it had the external cooling because it voids the warrenty

I recommend the fan alot, one of those babies will keep you clean clear and undercontrol.

Re: [Guide] Ways to avoid xbox 360 ring of death.
Good guide. I've fixed the rrod twice by wrapping my xbox in a towl and turning it in for about 15 minutes. Then unwrap it & turn it off until it cools down.
