Well tonight they put some of their drink in it and it now has the ring on it. I unplugged it and then plugged it back in for a few seconds to get the CD out and no light turned on like it usually would with opening the drive but it let me open and close the drive. Im wondering if I were to take it apart and clean it could I perhaps be able to save it?

Hi I still got the red ring when I put it back together I follewed all your instruction but it still gives me the three lights. Reply 2 years ago. You guys probably know better than I do but my was working fine when it turned off from the TV screen and I saw the red. I've heard of red ring of death but mine wasn't a ring just one part of the ring was red. So I think that means it was beginning to overheat. Only about a second went before I unplugged it and I'm letting it cool down now.

I'm going to turn it on in a few hours to see if it's alright but I'm wondering if it does turn on will it be ok? Was it just telling me with the one part of the ring that it's getting hot or does that mean something's messed up.

It was still running the fan and everything when I unplugged it so I think that's a good sign. What I'm wondering is if it's one ring down does that mean it's that much closer to a full ring the next time? Or does it just mean different things for each amount of parts to ring. Too many questions I'm gonna look up more stuff.

And see how it goes when I turn it on. Reply 3 years ago. One, the ps3 is not the dark side of gaming. It is a blue-ray player, where you can access the internet provided you have wifi for free, and it nearly never has problems.

It's a less expensive version of the xbox. Sorry, but I hate to hear the ps3 vs xbox vs PC turf wars. Two, I find it easier to just send it to a repair shop. No, not a Microsoft store, just a normal beat around the bush computer store. It's never failed me yet. Didn't lose any data, either.

No, it will work on elite also , provided that the GPU core central area of the GPU pins have not pulled away , However if you have what's called an GPU edge failure pins on the corner of the GPU have broken free from the board This method should be effective in restoring normal operation , for a while , and the second failure ,will prove almost imposable to get a solid recovery.

On the Xbox S model, the power button utilizes a different design that does not incorporate the same style of lighting that past models used.
