In online slang, the red ring of death, also known as RRoD, refers to the four LEDs surrounding the Xbox 360's power button. When the console is working, the upper-left quadrant of the ring is solid green. If the console is experiencing an error, one to four LEDs will flash red.

You will only see RRoD on the original Xbox 360 console. Other models, such as the Xbox 360 S and Xbox 360 E, only have one visible LED. When these models experience an issue, you will see an error code on your TV screen. Microsoft Support has a list of Xbox error codes and how to resolve them.

This code indicates a hardware error and is usually accompanied by an error code such as E-74 on the TV.
