How to Find Out Whether It is the Power Supply or the Console That Is Causing Your RROD

As discussed in a number of my earlier articles/lens, the Red Ring of Death can be caused by lots of, lots of things. of the things that I mentioned was issues with the powerbox. Since I posted that, lots of people have messaged me to ask me if I could tell them whether it was the console or the power that was having the issue. So here it is, all you people - Diagnosis for your Xbox 360.

First, look at the back of the console and follow the wire along until you see the powerbrick. If the light is green, orange, red or not lit at all, then you require to do is unplug everything, and then plug it back in. Then you can try turning the Xbox 360 it on again. In case you still have the red lights, then follow the next set of steps.

If that didn't work, then you require to move your console in to another room and plug everything in.

Before plugging the connector back in to the wall, make sure to have it inspected for destroy.

If the powerbrick is still not lit after all these steps, then you require to receive a replacement power supply. You can get them off Amazon, or in case you are willing to wait some time, you can get them from Microsoft.

In case you still have the Red Ring of Death and the power brick's light is green, then you require to repair your Xbox.

If, it is in warranty, you can send it back to Microsoft, but that will take up to months to return it to you.

If the powerbrick is red or orange after the steps, then try to icy the powerbrick down. Unplug it from the wall, and then leave it in a icy place BUT NOT IN A FRIDGE OR FREEZER. The place needs to be somewhere icy and well ventilated, not somewhere freezing chilled. After it is been left for some time, plug it back in to your Xbox and the wall. If the power supply remains red, then you have a controversy together with your power supply. You will require to receive a new.
