How to Fix a Red Ring on Xbox 360
I fixed mine by wrapping it in a towel and letting it run for 10 minutes, then turning it off and letting it cool. I know it sounds crazy, but it worked for me!

Ah, the dreaded Red Ring of Death (RRoD)! First, try turning off your console, unplugging all cables, and letting it cool down for about 30 minutes. Then plug it back in and see if it works. If that fails, you might need to open it up and reapply thermal paste to the GPU, but be careful because this could void your warranty.
Had the same issue! I took out the hard drive and reinserted it, and magically, it worked. Give it a try!
If all else fails, it might be time to upgrade to an Xbox One or Series X/S. The newer consoles are pretty awesome!
Honestly, just contact Microsoft support. They usually cover the Red Ring issue even if your warranty is up. Safe and reliable.
