Guess what happened to me today?



Well I join those who have received RRoD's. I was hoping to be a lucky one but not this time. I hope my time with customer service won't be that bad even though I know it might be from the stories I've heard. I just wish the 360 was as reliable as my old Xbox. That thing was/is rock solid. Well almost. I think it might need a new HDD.

Why don't you just replace the LED with a green one? Gotta be cheaper than a hard drive.

=D, Nice one.

And yeah, it totally sucks to get RROD, I got it once, but thankfully, my Xbox turned on straight after.

Wrap it up in a towel, see what happens.

DO NOT DO THIS!

If you do this you will likely make things worse and kiss your warranty goodbye for sure. Just send it back to MS and they will repair it. I heard they are shipping Opus motherboards now which is basically the falcon chipset but without the HDMI (if that what you send in)

So 65mn CPU & 90GPU which equals to less heat and hopefully no chance of it RLOD again.

My original 360 just died the other day and got it picked up yesterday by UPS and i am hoping i get one this improved boards back aswell.

Is that an iPod dock on the right?

Oh believe me I would never be that stupid to do that. I mess with computers alot and I know that cutting off air flow would be much much worse.

I hope I do get the new boards. That would make me feel like I was right for spending the money on the console in the first place even after whats happened now.



Its not my photo. I grabbed it off of Google Images because of what the picture had on it. I thought it was hilarious.

Sucks, sorry to hear that.
Also, you're 80G achievement made me smile.

Just out of interest, are you using a Falcon chipset?

I don't think so. I thought I saw somewhere about looking at your power brick to see what power it was putting out. Was supposedly one of the ways to see if you were running Falcon or not.

I think both consoles look great and have great games, so I'm not a PS3 fanboy, in fact I think there is really no difference between them. Except for the RROD. That was the deciding factor for me getting a PS3. I live overseas, and the potential hassle of a RROD just wasn't worth it.

Dude, I'm sorry for your loss.

Yeah.. look at your power brick. If it says 175W on it, then you have a Falcon.

My mate's console died yesterday too, he sent it for repair today. Was one of the older consoles as well.

Welcome to the RROD club though

I'm pretty sure mine said 2xxW on it. I'll look again in the morning.
