"3 Red Lights Of Death" Fragile 360s?

[Violet]

If you didn't know the 3 red lights of death (technical term lol) is a hardware error. It can happen from a simple knock or out of the blue. Microsoft have gave every 360 a 3 year guarantee, which applies to new and previously sold.

Yeh well I don't see Sony doing that. =P

My 360 has died twice in the past year. The second time being a couple of days ago.

Has yours died before?

Yep! I sent mine back and they sent me a new one really fast though

my first 360 had the ring of death then i took it apart and fixed it for a few weeks till it went again, so then i bought a new 1

Mine is dead at the moment. But it's really annoying to send it off because of the postal people >.<

I got 1 red ring of death.

It's coming back on the 13th according to ups

Wouldnt that void the warrenty?

if it had a warranty and he didnt say he sent it to microsoft so it wouldnt matter. my xbox360 had red ring of death once and was fixed and has never been a problem since.

The cause of that is because of overheating! and if the 360 over heats to much the clips that hold the 3 mother boards will melt and that is why there are 3 red lights not 4. so if you want to keep your 360 from getting the 3 rings keep your 360 in a area where it can get lots of air! and also get a fan on the back just in case!
