Subject: RROD Discovery!

O.k. So I have the RROD, right? Nothing special, Microsoft's system has a serious flaw and a lot of people have gotten this bug. I called in to get it repaired, but I decided to play with it for a little while when I made this discovery.

If you have a General Hardware Failure , which is when 3 quadrants are lit up of the Ring of Light, you could change the type of error by doing the following. I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGED HARDWARE AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS EFFECTS YOUR SYSTEM IN ANYWAY.

All I know is that it changes the ring. With that being said, heres what you do.

Press the open disc tray button on your Xbox 360 and the connect controls button at the same time, simultaneously, 3 times, and the rings will change.

Anymore information on this will be appreciated.

Please move this if it is in the incorrect forum.

Over at HFCS we're constantly hard...

Wait...
What?

The changing lights is part of a diagnostic test, like a POST code in a computer but with the Xbox LED's instead.

I hate you so much...

But not as much as I hate the internet.

What do you mean? This magically fixes the console or it just changes the rings color back?

That method only clears the last general system update, it will only work in 40% of RRoD cases.

No, I can MANUALLY change them by manipulating two buttons on the console.

And to the next poster, it changes the error's ring appearance (4 quads, AV cable unplugged, 2 quads, Overheating).

EDIT: To the above poster, I did not clear or fix any of the problems I was having before, it only changed the formation of the ring's quadrants.
