Forums - Microsoft - ZOMG!!! I think I just survived RROD

Bobo012893 on 06 July 2008

Mine RROD'd when I had it and some random guy on psn told me to squeeze the console together really hard and it fixed the RROD. So if your 360 ever breaks just squeeze it together in the middle and it fixes it.

If it happens to me, I'd rather just send it to MS and let them fix it than risking to break the console myself by squeezing it.

Yep.  It only takes 2 weeks or so.  Maybe go outside and play or something.

Happened to me once, and a few weeks later it went down for the count.

Maybe you had some wires not all the way plugged in, but if not you were lucky.

 For some reason that made me laugh, how could that possibly help?

The same thing has happened to mine as well. I just turned it off and made sure all the wires were in. Turned it back on and it worked just fine.

Yes, you can stop the RROD.

though it may sound wierd, all i can say is, why not? if its already rodded, why not give it a squeeze? who knows? got nothing to lose anyway, and if it doesnt work, just send it back to ms.
