Introduction
This article will deal with how to fix the most common reason for the xbox 360 3 red flashing lights sometimes known as the "Red Ring Of Death".
Soldering Gun
The major reason for the xbox 360 red ring of death, sometimes known as RROD, is due to faulty manufacture of the main circuit board. This faulty manufacture results in poor solder joints which connect the main electronic chips to the circuit board. As the xbox 360 heats up the circuit board undergoes minute flexing and the faulty solder joints result in loss of electrical contact for the main electronic chips with the main circuit board and results in the xbox 3 red flashing lights.
The Towel Method
This is the oldest and perhaps best known of the xbox 360 3 red flashing lights do it at home fixes. Essentially the Xbox 360 is powered on whilst wrapped in a towel for a little while. The idea is that the heat generated by the xbox melts the solder and effectively eliminates bad solder problems. That at least is the theory. the reality is somewhat different. The XBox 360 is fitted with an electronic temperature regulator which switches off the Xbox before too much damage is done. So this method has been reported to work with some units but most will switch off without resolving the issue.
The Self Heating Method
This method requires that the XBox 360 is opened and the electronic thermal cut-off is disabled. The xbox 360 is then powered on for several minutes and the CPU and GPU heat up and eventually melt the solder which then reforms and repairs the faulty connectors. I like to think of this method as the xbox 360 3 red flashing lights self healing method.

The Heat Gun Method
If you have access to a heat gun then this can be employed to fix most xbox 360 3 red flashing lights problems that require re flowing the solder to fix bad connections. Using the xbox error code to determine the location of the fault. The heat gun is directed at the xbox motherboard area in question until the solder is observed to flow and the xbox then allowed to cool.
