Red ring of death or whatever it's called. I had it before, more than a year ago, and yesterday I think out 2 yr old gave the box a hard push or something... at least his older brothers blame him.
Now there are three out or four blinking, but the unit works fine. Games play fine, it loads from the HD and everything seem to work. But still it's blinking. I have a vague memory of that this blinking can be reset, that it's indicating something was wrong but isn't neccessarily anymore. So, does anyone know if it can be reset? I googled and found that unplugging everything and then starting up should be fine but not for my box it isn't. It's still blinking. And as far as I understand three blinking lights should also render the Xbox unplayable, which mine isn't. -------------------- My bands homepage

Did you turn the 360 off for an hour before putting back on as it may be an overheating issue? Yeah it was off overnight. If this (my second) Xbox crashes on me I'm buying a PS3 since MS warranty for red ring faults isn't valid anymore. -------------------- My bands homepage

Yesterday whe i started it it never started and i got the red ring on my consule....... Dont know either what is wrong Exactly that happened the first time my broke. It froze a few times for a few days then the red ring. MS sent UPS to pick it up and sent it to germany for repair. Mine was beyond that appearantly since they sent me a new one. Call MS to see if their warranty is still valid!! Now your 1 year warranty but they had one before so they repaired all broken 360's at no cost for the customer and no matter if you had warranty or not. I think they took that away though but it can't hurt to ask them. -------------------- My bands homepage

some old ones have this problem but if your box isn't older than 3 years replacing shouldn't be a problem my brother had the ring 2 times but they fixed it within a week I had the first batch of 360's that came to Sweden, that one had the red ring of death and died for real, the display froze. MS sent UPS to pick it up and it was sent for repair. But instead of fixing it they send me a new one as replacement. Made in 2007 I think it says in the back. So it's a fairly new one, but the strange things is I can still play like normal while the three red lamps are flashing. I stopped caring. -------------------- My bands homepage
