 | Do not ever put your console in the freezer or out in the cold/hot weather or wrap it in a towel. These "fixes" will cause bigger problems due to temperature shock, board warping, and condensation. |
This page is intended to be a comprehensive list of all error codes for all models of Xbox 360, as well as tutorials on fixing them if applicable/possible. This error code guide is in no way official and may not be 100% accurate as it is community sourced. We take no responsibility for any actions you may take to fix your console.
Generally, if there is a problem with the Xbox 360, the LEDs in the Ring of Light (ROL) around the power button will flash in a particular pattern. The pattern itself lends some insight to the problem. Certain patterns will also display numbered error codes on screen, known as your primary error code, which will further help diagnose your console’s issue.
No Power
Board is unresponsive to power button
Red Ring of Death
Ring of light quadrants flashing red/center light red.
- To diagnose, hold down the sync button and press eject 4 times
- Each time you press eject, a certain number of the quadrants of the ring will flash
- 4 lights signify 0
- 1 lights signify 1
- 2 lights signify 2
- 3 lights signify 3
- On Xbox 360 E consoles, the ring will flash an amount of times then pause, count these to get the numbers
- After pressing it 4 times, you will have the secondary error code
- Example: seeing 4 lights 3 times, followed by 1 light once, means you have error code: 0001
