Xbox Sees An End To Red Rings?

A newer version of the Xbox 360 has been released with an apparent fix on the issue of the three red rings. One of the major things that should be put to Microsoft is, why wasn’t this problem fixed within the first year of launch?

The console came out in November of 2005 and it was clear that it came with problems when the first lot of people started to see the red rings of death. What happens is the normal green lighting at the front turns red and when three pop up its control throwing time. You cannot use the console again until you send it off to be repaired.

It has been four years since the release of the console and they have only just managed to fix it all for good. What was the issue?

Well basically as the console got hotter it would start to melt the soldering iron on the top of one of the major components. The rings of death are called so because you cannot fix the console without sending it off if you see these. There are ways in which you can add a short fix to the problem and the main one is actually by wrapping the console in a cold towel. This will actually cool down the console. This is only meant to fix the console for a very short amount of time so you will indeed have to send it off at some point.

I am really not sure on why Microsoft have taken such a long time to actually go out and fix this huge problem as it is costing them a lot of money.

So whether it was the cable ties, Deutsch connectors or of course the electrical components at least they have fixed it.
