I had my Xbox 360 for like 6 years now. It really grew up on me, so I was devastated when it got a RRoD. The RRoD has been appearing for like a week now and I tried various fixes not involving taking my console apart. The RRoD actually appeared constantly like 6 months ago and I temporarily fixed it. I tried a lot of methods, turning my console to the horizontal position, cleaning it with a vacuum, putting both the console and power brick on my table, ventilating my room... Pretty much every known method (except the towel trick because it's so unbelievably stupid).
The method that worked was: 1) completely clean the power brick, 2) install new update (even though I'm not sure if that actually helped).
I tried this again, now when the RRoD suddenly appeared once again.
Here is how it looks like: I was playing a game (Skyrim was the last game I played). Everything goes fine, the framerate didn't drop even a bit, but then suddenly my screen flashes yellow for like a split-second and then a black screen showed up like I turned the console off. The RRoD then appeared; the three lights start flashing and the DVD tray is impossible to open. If I reset the console, the RRoD appears once again, but this time it's not flashing. The only way I can play again is by hard reseting my X360 by disconnecting the power source from my power brick and reconnecting it then turning on the console.
Now, is there any other method for fixing it (not necessarely permanent)? I could open it, but I am pretty clumsy and I could damage my console more than it's now.
Any help is appreciated.
