Red ring of death
« on: December 29, 2007, 09:41:59 pm »
Well i recently got a Xbox 360 about a week ago and every thing worked fine and i played alot.
On Friday while i was playing it i froze for no reason and so i just restarted my 360 and started to play again, but after 7min of playing it froze again! so i poped out the disk looked at it and it was totally fine but i tried a different game just to see if it was the disk and what do ya know it froze again after like 5 minutes it even froze when only on the dashboard. Next i called support and they told my to take the hard drive and all of the cords out and and try again and it still froze.
I called again and i had to talk to this guy i couldent even understand very well while i was just about to hang up i turned my Xbox on and i got this, 


I told him and he said that they would ship a box to me so i could send my xbox to them for free repair and he said i could take 3 weeks for my to get it back and i have known others who have had this happen 3 times to them im just hoping their lieing. For now im just going to go back to the ole reliable ps2.

There is a youtube video that shows some guy doing something with towels that seems to fix his not sure if you shoudl try it though.  Just thought Id let you know you can search on there and take a look.

Yea, that works but its only temporary and and it will break down again in about a week. (how long have you had your 360?)

I've had mine like a year and no problems so far.  But we don't play it all that much and I have one of those cooling fans so I'm not sure if that helps the problem or not. :dontknow:

I know it happens alot but we have had ours about a year and it gets played 3+ hours a day and no problems yet!! Knock on wood!! ;D I know there are people on Ebay that you can pay to send them to I dont know how much MC charges if anything so I thought I would throw that out there since I had seen them on there before but if MC does it for free thats probley your best bet.

If yours has lasted a year you should be fine and those cooling fans help alot.

Well, if your playing for 4hr straight you  should turn it off for a while to let it cool down before playing again, and the repair is free! :)
