Title: Xbox 360 S Red Light ?
Post by: jayjaymozza on October 21, 2013, 12:42:38 PM: Hi, I was on YouTube when my xbox turned its self off and showed up a red light on the power button, and now the red light will no go away ... when I turn the xbox on i get a green light and then a second later I get the red light and then nothing happens, does anyone know a solution to this or why is it doing this ?
I have checked all the leads are in correct, I have took the power supply out and left it out for 20 minutes but still nothing.

Post by: jayjaymozza on October 24, 2013, 05:58:03 AM: I left the xbox on side for a day or two not connected to anything and today I have just plugged it in to see if the problem is still there and for some reason it seems to be okay ... is this normal ?

Post by: Gizmo613 on October 24, 2013, 06:29:06 AM: Sounds Like The Southbridge Needs To Be Reflowed Or Replaced.

No i don't think that would be the issue reason your getting red dot of death is cause there is a cold solder joint somewhere or it isn't making the connection that is needed to boot the console properly
