Three flashing red lights around the Xbox 360 power button (nicknamed the "Red Ring of Death" or "Red Lights of Death" or "Red Ring of Doom"), instead of the one to four green lights indicating normal operation, represent an internal problem that requires service. Warning signs may include freeze-ups, graphical problems in the middle of gameplay, such as checkerboard or pinstripe patterns on the screen, and sound errors, and the console only responds to pressing the power button to turn it off.

This is used to indicate what state the console is in, and allows user to diagnose faults with the console. Each of the LED “quadrants” has a number: 1 is upper left,  2 upper right, 3 is lower left,  and 4 is lower right.  The position of the numbered quadrants stays the same whether your xbox 360 is placed horizontally or vertically.

Looking for a permanent solution to Red Ring of Death?  We have it!

Only permanent way to fix “Red Ring of Death” in XBox 360 game console is by re-balling. The process, in a nutshell, involves actually removing the chip from the board .Once removed, both surfaces (Chip & Motherboard) are cleaned using soldering iron, flux etc. Once clean, tiny solder balls are applied to chip using a stencil and heated to set solder onto the chip, and once set, remove the stencil leaving the balls melted in correct position to the processor. THEN newly re-balled chip is placed on the motherboard, and YET AGAIN the assembly is heated to melting point of solder to make contact with motherboard.

We have recently invested into equipment which enables us to do just that – so you can be sure once we repair your xbox 360 –  it is Red Ring of Death Fixed!
