I Had The Ring Ring of Death! (RRoD) But then.. it went away.
Well I was playing my 360 yesterday and it shut down then had the "Red Ring of Death" I freaked out and unplugged it, plugged back in and waited about 5 minutes.. plugged it back in and it was fine, and has been fine ever since yesterday.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Because everyone tells me it never goes away. Should I be scared? |

Some people told me they never had any problem with them after, but you never know. It can't be the case for everyone I guess. I'm happy mine didn't RODed already.

It's never happened to me before and I've had it since January 2006, guess I'll consider myself lucky until it happens again.

That has happened to me before. Sometimes it'll give you red lights because one of the cords may not be plugged in correctly. There is no need to worry.. you only start worrying if you're console starts freezing often.

are you sure all of the lights werent red? if only three of them were blinking then that is the RROD, but if all four of the lights were blinking then it has to do with some of the cables being inserted incorrectly i think.

It has happened to me twice, both times after playing all afternoon long . But everything went back to normal after leaving the console off for a couple minutes.
Probably your console was just overheated (a red ring =/= the RRoD). |

I know for a fact all the chords were in properly, and the entire circle was red, didn't make much sense to me, maybe an internal error?

Chris.Talg0 is right, if all 4 lights were flashing, that's not the dreaded RRoD...
