[360] Ring Of Death


Recommended Posts

Actually it has never happed to me while i was playing, but it has happend twice when other people where playing. The first time my xbox was left on while playing a game and i guess the system crashed and it displayed the red ring. i turned it off and turned it on to see if it would worked and it did, so i thought not much of it. Now today some friends tried to play my system and the ring of death came up upon starting the system. i tried maybe once or twice more and then i unplugged the power cord and pluged it in and it started up normally. I'm kind of worried that i will have to get it fixed, because i don't want to have to go through that. Has anybody gone through this?

yep. i just brought it into futureshop for the 2nd time in just a few short weeks from getting it back. it's christmas and i don't have my 360 ... it sure doesn't help when i booked off vacation time as well.

check out the official xbox support site @ http://www.xbox.com/ - if all else fails, take it back to where you purchased it, or, send it in to ms.

Well actually i just purchased it in November, so i should be okay. But it's running okay right now, i'm going to see what happens. I hope that the problem doesn't prolong.

have you both purchased these just before xmas? or dec 05/jan06 ? the new ones manufactured after august/sept 06 have nearly all the ring of death problems sorted.

nope. mine was a launch system coupled with the store warranty and covered for 2yrs. if the 2nd repair doesn't hold up, i'll look into whether or not ms will take it (that is, if they'll take back a system that has been worked on). if not, i'll just keep taking it back to futureshop and wait till they give me a brand new system.

just had it a few hours ago while playing DOA4 online. i think it was an XBL issue, not hardware related, but that's the case for me. lots of people got disconnected from the DOA4 servers at once and then speeds went waay down with great lag. this is all conjecture, tho.
