Re: x boxs
this happened to someone at work, he said it was known as the ring of death and if i remember he got it fixed free of charge by microsoft.
Xbox 360: Three red lights flash on the Ring of Light, have you looked at this? |

Re: x boxs
Microsoft do free repairs on ROD (Ring of Death). However if you ask anyone who has used this service it can take anywhere from 3 days - 1 month (usually towards the later) and you rarely get your own xbox back just a refurbed one.My advice if you can afford to i would buy a new one personally and possibly the elite or make sure it is the new model (Falcon) Good Luck.
Davo you can get your 360 chipped im not sure where but i know someone who has had it done.However you cant go online and if you do you will get your 360 blocked from live play. |

Re: x boxs
Mine had the RROD but as soon as i saw the redlights i turned it off and then on again, its been fine since. Think i must have the only 360 in the world that fixed itsself.

Re: x boxs
Well it was a few month ago and not had any problems since. Dont really play on it much anymore, just use it as a way to play music thats on my phone through my stereo (took ages to wire up but its so worth it).

You get your 3 years RROD warranty renewed on replacement so even if it does break your still not going to be out of pocket... and as for the addicted - buy one from argos with 28 no quibble return whilst its being repairs and simply take it back - free 1 month 360 rental  |
