[ESCOBAR 92113]

man, i went to turn on my 360 and the screen froze. there are 3 blinking red lights by the start up button. before i waste all kinds of time on the phone with these guys i want to know if anyone can help, or has any suggestions? or am i pretty much screwed?

 

[Home-E]

HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA. red lights of doom, pretty common. yeah youre screwed. you have to get a new one. damn microsoft needs to make better hardware, all the 360s breaking is unacceptable

Call MS, and have them send you the cardboard coffin, your system is dead.

 

[Tragedy]

When that happened to me I turned it off and checked my wires. One of em was lose so i popped it back in and it worked fine. I was spooked as fuck when i first seen it tho.

FUCC MC ALL THERE 360 DONT LAST FOR SHIT I REMEMBER MY FIRST 360 I ONLY HAD IT FOR A DAY N I RETURNED IT WITHOUT A CONTROLLER HAHA

3 Lights? ...You're screwed...it happened to me. If it was 4 lights...that means a loose connection somewhere. 3 lights mean hardware failure. Like I was telling someone else, MS anticipated a gang of units to fail. Why else would they have a system in place to notify you of the problem.

 

[ArYo]

hope you have a warranty

Anyone with a 360 has a 1-year warranty

 

[MOREBASS]

Fuck, just got the 3 red lights of death !


So, should I basically plan on getting a new one...?

 

[MOREBASS]

Damn, just checked the manufacture date and its 12/7/2005 which means I'm out of manufacturer warranty ! Son of a bitch...somebody's gonna pay for this ! LOL...and I'm not the one !

[Masked Lemon]

Yeah, your's is made before 2006, they'll just send you a refurbished system, DO NOT SEND THEM THE HARD DRIVE, OR YOUR CONTROLLER.

 

[MOREBASS]

I called and they're talking about $139 to fix the shit. Fuck that. I was heated...I love playing this shit but do they not build these things to last more than a year...?


Lemon, how do you do the sticker thing at Circuit City...? Or anyone who knows...


I think I fucked up...cause when I called...I told them the serial number and my name...but oh well.

 

[Premo]
