I turned on my 360 and it froze at the title screen then froze, I tunred it off, then on. It red-ringed. I did this for several times and got the red ring. Then I got it to normal, then It red ringed. Now I have turned it on and off several times and it's fine. WTF!!!
Xbox 360
Platform »
The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
I AM SO CONFUSED!?!?!
"It means the red rings are inevitable for you. That sort of happened to me before I red ringed."Should I go ahead and call Microsoft? I was gonna buy Guitar Hero today, but now I'm afraid.
Yeah same here, that's what my 360 was doing right before it RRoD completely. I think most 360's are still within the 3 year warranty though until some time next month, so you should be able to get it fixed for free. Of course if you don't have a launch one you likely have longer.
"Oh yeah like DR says check if it's plugged in all the way first. If it is, just keep playing till it red rings, you can't really avoid it if it's going to happen."I don't understand it though.I have it in an opened area, I keep the area cool, I give the 360 a break when I play for a while, I'm just so flabbergasted.
"suneku said:360's are poorly made. Most of them inevitably red-ring, regardless of how you take care of it. Luckily Microsoft has a very generous warranty, which yours is probably covered by."Oh yeah like DR says check if it's plugged in all the way first.

Im on my 4th 360 right now.
And do you know if the warranty is renewed when you send it in to Microsoft and they give you a new one?
"Doom is inevitable...your system will die completely soon enough."Is there a usual timeframe of when it will happen.... I'm scared!
"I would likely give it a few weeks to a month, but everyone's case is different. Some 360's could last months and months."My cousin's 360 did the same thing mine, and his lasted for 2 years.
"What exactly is the problem? How many red lights?"3 red lights, the normal stuff. This will be my 5th 360.
this thing happened to me before with the screen freezing and i unplugged my ethernet cable so it couldnt sign on to live and then deleted some things from my hdd to free up some space. Plugged the cable back in, signed back on and everything seemed fine

"Arkthemaniac said:Yeah, there isn't. That has happened with my Xbox... But it was one of the first Xbox's being released. I think that xbox bug was fixed before the Elite one came out."Solid_SnakeXx said:WELL?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?"Snail said:ILL CAST TEH SPELL OF ANTIBEFUDDLEMENT LOL"YOU ARE CONFUSED!?!?!??!"YES HE IS CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE NEED TO UN-CONFUSE HIM NOW"PEWPEWPEW HOW DO U FEEL"Seriously, are you positive there is no way you get it fixed?"
"MB said:How old was your 4th 360? I thought the newer ones rarely go rrod."What exactly is the problem? How many red lights?"3 red lights, the normal stuff. This will be my 5th 360."
This makes me a little scared. I'm going to buy a 360 by the end of the year. And I don't think Brazil has Microsoft's warrant thing... if mine breaks I'm doomed...

I wouldn't be to worried about it.
