Your in luck, because I know 'em all

1 RED RING: Your console can't load the data from your Harddrive. This happens when you put your Harddrive in another Xbox, if the disc reader in your HDD isn't working properly, (YOUR HDD IS A SMALLER GAMECUBE DISC WITH A DISC READER! =0) or if the disc is damaged or dirty. Cost to get repaired is $100 online and $120 through the phone.
Common Error Code: E68.

2 RED RINGS: System is overheating. Stop playing (it will force you to stop anywho), and remove HDD so it doesn't get corrupted (can lead to 1 Red Ring).
Common Error Code: ???

3 RED RINGS: Your system is broken. You can do the Hot Towel trick, but don't tell Microsoft that, or they will void your warranty. Don't bother calling Customer Support; the first thing you hear is that if you have this error, get it repaired, no questions asked. Console usually freezes, or turns off by itself in some cases.
Common Error Code: E74

4 RED RINGS: Your AV cables are either unplugged or damaged. Most cases, it's unplugged. Plug 'em back in and boom, it's gone. If it's damaged, you have to buy a new one.
There isn't an Error Code.

...hmmm. 2&3 may never have happened cause i live in a cold basement. i remember havin an 8-10hr marathon on mass effect once, and my 360 was barely warm. as far as 1&4, i never remove my HDD, and my AV cords have yet to give.

No! Make sure it's not too cold. That's how ours (my friend and I) broke. We went through a snowstorm with no heat (it broke during the storm) and it was 57 degrees in his room and 50 deg downstairs. We got 3 Rings but since his has an internal memory unit, he got his fixed the next day. I got mine fixed and got 1 Ring right after that.

Farenheit. Ours were standing up on carpet, so that most likely contributed to our problem

Well if you plan on getting it for Xbox, you're going to have to wait

ah sorry i ment what is it in Celsius we dont use imperial measurement system in Canada so i dont know how hot so much degrees in fereinght is. in celcius its like 0 degrees is freezing point of water and 100 is boiling then -273 is absolute zero we use the metric system i think so does the uk

If it was in Celsius the 360 would have RRoD'd from melting, not from cold...

There is way's to prevent the 360 from overheating,which prevent's RROD.
And it's all in the instruction manuel's if you look closely.

If anyone want's to know how to prevent it,PM me.

I have played Mass Effect 2 constantly for 2 week's in a row and my 360 didnt overheat once.

i know how to keep your 360 cool and how to prevent disk scratching and RROD.

Do you know how to prevent E 68?

I've gotten the RROD 7-8 times. But i'd just turn it off for a few hours

RROD Has Never Happened to me weirdly :S , And i never seem to have these video bugs people have been having like shokio's ODST.

you are quite lucky. i've gotten the e74 thing like 4 times

The only time I thought I had it was in Prototype

It will happen to you more likely if you dont have a Jasper 360.The Jasper Chip has decreased Failure rate under 10 percent.If you dont beleive me,Tradesquare and other site's have studied it.
