Red Rings

[IronMexican]

This sucks. Gonna call MS tomorrow and get my box. How long does this whole thing usually take?

[PM5K]

You've never had RROD? They don't send a box any more from what I was told.

[iggypop123]

1 month? damn thats with modern warfare coming soon

[ManuTP9]

if you have 3 Red Lights they fix it for free, mines came back in 2 Weeks. It depends if their busy or not.

[LOL]

LOL red rings

[lefty]

Xbox :lmao

[Trainwreck2100]

doesn't modding your xbox void the warranty?

[baseline bum]

If you opened the case at all to do the mod, you're fucked. If it's just something in software that can be changed (like the game producers and developers do with the devkits/debugkits), they'd never know since Microsoft tells you not to send the hard drive.

[IronMexican]

I still have my 360 sticker when you open it. From what I hear, I am good. If not, I can find someone who fixes RROD for 30. I don't get a box anymore? Weak.

[kcplayboi_26]

yea first time i got it they sent a box. second time about 2 months ago i didnt even try so it would be quicker, just printed the shipping label and put it in a box and ship it off. literally got it back in a week. if it happens again imma just take it to the shop that modded my xbox cuz they fix it for 25 and get it back sameday.

[IronMexican]

It's a trip. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'll send it in tomorrow regardless so I get it back by 2k10.

[PM5K]

Looks like I may have been mistaken, I think if you call them they'll send you a box, otherwise you do it online, print your own label, and use your own box.

The place is in Mesquite so it will get there next day, and once it's sent back, it will only take a day as well so hopefully the whole thing won't take long.

[IronMexican]

Print a label? How do I do that?

[xellos88330]

Have you tried the towel/blanket trick? Worked for me, but was only able to squeeze a couple extra hours out of it.

lol i remember doing that the first time i got it.

After you call them they might send a shipping label instead of a coffin

[kcplayboi_26]

I went to the website, and after your done typing in your problem and everything you can have them send you a box or there will be a section where it says print shipping label. took the label to ups with the box and they take it from there. Just track it online with the tracking number so you knw where ur game is

[IronMexican]

I'll get this shit done today. Sounds pretty simple.

I bought my 360 used and got the RROD. Tried to do the online thing and it was already registered (by the previous owner I guess) so am I SOL or is there another option?

Just call them they can sort that out, same thing happend to my cousins Xbox.

[Heath Ledger]

Just buy a new one at Wal Mart and do a gut swap. Take the new one back with your old guts tell them it doesn't work and that you have changed your mind about the 360 cuz you've heard so many bad things and now have a bad experience right out of the box with your first purchase of one.

for you I would say go to a rent a center. rent one of there xboxs and switch it. the homie had to do that before. or see if any stores by you fixes red rings

[IronMexican]

I don't have the install disc for my printer.

[METALMiKE]

just download the driver from the manufacturers site bud

[PM5K]

So you get it back already?

[IronMexican]

It's working again. Depends how hot it is outside.

[PM5K]

Lol...

[IronMexican]

It's back, and back for good. I am going to buy a new 360 at walmart and switch the shit, return it and get a second one. I need another 360 anyways.

[IronMexican]

I got my 360 back from MS and it sounds like they installed a fan in it or something. It makes a noice like a fan now. Never had that before. It also stays cooler, longer.

[dirk4mvp]

You'll need it for how many times I chode bload you in Madden.

[IronMexican]

We were 2-2 today. Way till I play with my TV on. Plus, flies always get in my face.

[dirk4mvp]

You realize I was playing it with a guitar hero controller right?

My Xbox 360 is first gen, I got it like a month after it came out, its still running strong with no fan mods or anything. The only problems I have are sometimes the disc drive wont open (it gets stuck for some reason) and I have to tap the case with my hand to un-catch it and sometimes it doesnt recognize the game, but I think thats mainly because the lense is dirty on the reader.

[AussieFanKurt]

i'm so glad to never have had the red ring of death yet or any other problems

I was just thinking last night how it's been close to 4 years since the 360 came out... doesn't feel that long. That said, mine made it ~2.5 years before it RROD'd but has worked fine ever since.
