What is the red Ring of Death

The Red Ring of Death is what happened when an X360 overheated so badly that it completely borked itself.

The latest revision of the story I've heard is that even though Microsoft engineers specified the proper grade of solder, the manufacturer used a cheaper solder that couldn't withstand the heat generated by the unit. The solder would re-melt and flow around the circuit board, causing problems. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

I had the RROD with my XBox BITD but only one; the Jasper? unit they sent back to me is still going strong. IIRC turnaround was only four days and they gave me a month of XBox Live as compensation.

Yeah, I had it, too and they sent back a refurb of the same model - which means I have one of the few functioning X360s with no HDMI port. I believe at one point they admitted the projected failure rate for the early models was 100%. Anyone who's still got a working one is just plain lucky. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.
