So I posted about my problem with the red rings in another forum
The people who replied told me that I would need to either do the RROD fix (which I'm not willing to do since it's way too complicated for me) or get a connectivity kit. If I do end up purchasing a connectivity kit, will that FOR SURE allow me to flash the 360 without any further issues? Is it more complicated to flash the 360 using the kit?
QUOTE said:Hey guys. This is my second attempt at flashing my xbox 360. I currently have firmware i.4, but I want to be able to play the new games, so I'll be updating to 1.6. I took the 360 apart without any problems, and I connected the drive to my SATA card. I turn on the 360 (it's plugged in to the power unit and also has the cables that go in to the TV plugged in the back). After I turn it on, the fan makes a loud noise for a while, the lights flash, and I get 2 red lights. This has happened to me on every occasion. I tried unplugging it from my SATA card and plugging it back in to the 360 and I still got the 2 red lights.
At first I was freaking out because I thought I got RROD'd, but here's the weird thing - when I put the 360 back together (case, screws, etc), I plugged it in the regular way, turned it on, and it worked perfectly! So what exactly is going on? I've tried to flash it on 2 separate occasions; about a month ago and today. I'm doing this in a well ventilated area. I really dont know what could be wrong... Please help!
