Well, I just got one red light (E74) Microsoft proved to be totally useless and all links I follow, say to contact them which I have and as said, found them to be useless. So I thought I'd ask here, is my 360 now a glorified tomb? Also, great luck eh? Just before The Lost and Damned :/

Lost And Damned doesn't seem worth it to me. Also, yeah, you're screwed.

Try this.

  1. Reconnect all the cables.
  2. Take the HD out
  3. Turn it on.
If it comes up, just turn it off and put the HD back in to see if it comes up. If none of that works, you're probably sending your system into Microsoft.

I followed their instructions, it was the console with the problem. Not any of the accssories, to which I was told "We can't help you then..." This had me slightly confused.

Also, this is a launch model core system. So if they were to repair it. The costs'll be big, right?

I got the same error a while back. It sucks. I ended up just buying a new Xbox after I took it to a repair place and they said it couldn't be fixed and MS wanted £100 to fix it.

Or:
1. Take Xbox.
2. Find hammer.
3. Try and put the head of the hammer into the Xbox through concussive force, and film it.
4. Post teh film.

The 360 has a one year warranty that covers everything, and a three year warranty for the three red lights "red ring of death" only.  One red light wouldn't be covered outside of the initial one year period.

I also have a PS3, but to be honest would rather my DeadBox 360 then have to play on it. The ONLY reason I got one, was for MGS4. Also, thanks for the great contribution.

Eh... I really wasn't a fan of the demo. I suppose I could get some play time in on LittleBigPlanet.

Just sue them for $50,000. Some guy in Illinois did that when 3 of his games were scratched. Google it.
