I had the Red Ring of Death myself! I fixed it by wrapping my Xbox 360 in towels and let it run for about 10-15 minutes. It used to work temporarily but be warned, this is definitely not a long-term fix and can damage the console further.

Ah, the dreaded Red Ring of Death. Try a hard reset first by powering off your Xbox 360, unplugging all cables, waiting a few minutes, then plugging everything back in and powering up. If that doesn't work, you might need to open it up and reapply thermal paste to the GPU and CPU. Sometimes, it's a sign your console needs professional repair or replacement.

Honestly, just send it to Microsoft for repair. They know best.

Try a power cycle. Unplug the power brick, wait for it to cool down, and then plug it back in. Sometimes it's just overheating!
