Back in July my Xbox 360 got the “red rings of death” error. Being that I had previous opened the console for firmware tinkering, I was not qualified for a warranty repair. So in my desperation I found a fix that cost me 8 cents. I followed this guide using a few pennies. What the problem seems to be is that when the console heats up there are RAM chips under the board that get heated and loosened, and that causes the error. By sticking some wrapped up pennies underneath them, it adds additional pressure to them to keep from coming loose. It worked until a few days ago. The red rings came back. So I opened it up again and added an additional penny on each stack for even more pressure, and lo and behold my Xbox is once again running normally. However, in my haste of opening the console I cracked one of the inner tabs that lock it together. It’s not a big deal as it’s not visible from the outside. I just want to play my games
