The RROD comes because it overheats, the clamps holding down the two heatsinks are junk. When things get hot, they move, these clamps are supposed to secure it and they don't do a good job. The fix is to get some screws and washers to secure it to the board and get rid of the clamps, also use some better thermal paste.

Terrible Idea, don't do the stupid screw trick. It's a temporary fix, I know this because I mod xbox's (the legit way not so you can't go on live) and fixing RROD is easy as pie, take apart your box heat gun the paste and clean it all off (careful what you use) get some real thermal paste and apply gently.

PS. Having any game you want anytime is amazing, and so is having them before they come out

I just get quite a few games before they come out, but as soon as it goes in your box you can't connect to xbox live until it's released or you could get into a lot of trouble lol

So what your saying is that you just apply new thermal paste and expect that to be a good fix? You'll be doing that over and over again. Once you screw it all down after putting better paste on that thing is not going to overheat for a long time. It's about as close to pernament fix as you can get. I also have a modded 120g original xbox and used to be into that, but there comes a point when you gotta stop spending time and money on that stuff altogether.

No it's a permanent fix, the paste they used has a low melting point. Use a higher quality paste and you will be fine and never RROD again, the screws is a terrible idea. I have seen it time and time again and is nowhere near permanent.

And agreed, I haven't spent any money on my xbox for two years, mine has been modded for a long long time.

?? Do you understand that what I am explaining is using different thermal paste and on top of that a better clamp to ensure that nothing will move? All you have been saying is use a better paste... but thats not going to fix it for long if you use those same ****ty clamps that snap on.

I work at a UPS Store. I see minimum 2 XBox 360's/day. I maybe see...MAYBE 1 PS3 a month go back.

I went thru 3 360's and I got my 4th and as soon as I plugged it in and powered on, RROD. Called microsoft and they claimed it was either my fault by plugging into an unsafe ungrounded....bunch of bullsh!t...outlet or a shipping defect and they would not cover repair fees...so, I craigslist'ed it and bought a PS3. Love it lol

the best way to fix a RROD is throw it to the fireplace, light up, go to gamestop and buy a ps3, bluray dvd/game player, free online gaming, bluetooth controllers, like 10times better graphics, resolution, sound, and i could go all day.

Not a microsoft hater but the xbox just has like.. 4 good games exclusivly for the xbox.. halo and cant think of the others..

It's all in preference and 10x better graphics? if you want graphics NOT gameplay then go to the cpu (not saying cpu doesn't have good gameplay trying to make a point).
