Errors In Xbox 360

By Nikcey Derwin

There are lots of computer game consoles available in the market for the Nintendo game lovers. But many of them aren't branded. The leading Nintendo games consoles are Xbox, rich kid, PlayStation, Wii, etc . Xbox and PlayStation are the top competitors in the Playstation game industry. Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 2 hit the market at the same time. Microsoft launched Xbox 360 in late 2005 and just before that ; Sony launched its PlayStation two.

Difficulty with Xbox 360

although Xbox 360 is the leading Playstation game console, they are facing the big number of console failure. Many analyses have been done to find out the difficulty and it was found that the failure is due to the overheating of the console. Due to overheating of the console, the chips in the motherboard get damaged and entire motherboard is getting failed. The reason for the internal temperature is due to insufficient air flow inside the console. Lack of proper design and poor ventilation led on to failure of hardware components in the console. Microsoft launched Xbox 360 in a rush just before Yuletide to get more sales. This is the actual reason for the failure in the design.

The X clamp situated in the motherboard is the main problem. These X clamps hold the heat sinks to drop the heat and cool down the processors. But due to unacceptable arrangement of the X clamps, the heat sinks fail to work. Xbox have the special feature to point out the status of the console, when it works superbly or when it is getting into difficulty. The 4 LED's situated round the power ring area will indicate the standing of the console. Removing the X clamps will figure out the red light problem. The overheating error will be indicated by the red lights. This is often known as Red Ring of Death or RRoD blunders. This error causes the console to hang up and the game freezes at the play. The red lights also indicate differing types of mistakes according to the amount of red lights which flashes in the power ring area.

Solution

You can fix the console on your own, without spending much money. All you need to do is remove the XClamps of the motherboard so that more atmospheric air flows in to the console from the bottom of the console. This is so easy to do and it can be done in merely an hour with assistance from normal household tools like screwdrivers.

Microsoft has designed Xbox with its own hardware components and with its own codes running on chips. This is the first invention in the history of Microsoft for coming up with its own hardware, although developing gaming software is a widely known field for the Microsoft concern. Developing things for the first time does have some issue ; because of this reason the hardware designed by the Microsoft Corporation has different sort of mistakes in the console and the RED LIGHT blunder is the most typical kind of blunder occurring with the Xbox 360 due to hardware failure. - 22787
