The red ring of death

So I turned on my Xbox ready to play some MW2 and I see this shit!

Likely this means I have to send it back to get it repaired or just buy a new one.

 

send it back it takes awhile but i just had mine sent back to me takes about two three weeks for you to get it back but yeah... you basically have a new xbox when they send it back to you. also if you do send it to xbox call them first about it because if you do it online it will say your warranty is up but for rrod you get 3 years instead of 2. hope this helps

 

pwned. why do people continue to buy these fucking shit-boxes when these are known problems!

 

Yep, that is the Red Ring.

 

The new generation of 360's don't have this issue as much anymore. It is likely that Fez's Xbox was an older model.

 

Or you can just buy a system that works.

 

Wow, you're so rude. Do you need me to buy something in the 'Awkward Aisle'?

 

"as much".

Its like buying a Toyota...it'll take a long time for me to trust their shit now.

 

I've actually had a 360 before, and it never broke down, either.

 

I had a 360, it broke down...got it repaired. Broke down again...got it repaired. Now only works 15mins at a time.

My PS3? Too legit to quit.

 

I've never heard of "come MW2."

I kind of wish I still hadn't.

 

I got both.

 

And you've never added me on PS3?

 

Damn typo!

I looked on Youtube and there is trick you can do to fix it temporarily by wrapping it in a towel getting the xbox hot (resets the chips, apparently) and it'll work for 4-5 days.

This is an Xbox my brother gave me and he's gotten it fixed TWICE. This is the third time.

I think I may look at getting a PS3.

 

Yeah, I've heard that works. I dismantled my current 360 and put some Arctic Silver on the chip, they way the put on the thermal paste is awful. It's just like... Flicked on or something.

I also knew a guy who replaced the CPU fan with new one designed for desktops. Runs so much cooler.

 

It's my dads, we haven't set anything up yet.

 

I've had to send our xbox 360 in twice. The second time they sent me a new one instead of fixing my original.

 

Basically my XBOX committed suicide. I don't think I'll send it in. Sometime this week I am going to buy a PS3.

 

It's the reason I got the PS3, even though I had about 25 games for the 360.

 

You have two dads.
