3 red lights = unplugged video cables.

Power short, like a power failure. If you suddenly cut power off/on to the 360, you get the 3 red lights. Gotten them at work several times.

3 Lights is RRoD. What the hell are you talking about? lmao I've gone through 2 and each time it was 3 lights.

Keep it in a little plastic bubble like that and chanses are that'll happen.

But they really need to fix the problem.

I love how one 360 dies at GDC and the cows go crazy out of the barn, then again maybe they are still hurting from when phil harrison compared Halo 3 to Killzone 2....APOLLOCJD

Oh, we are so totally going crazy. You just wait for tommorow when we start the protests.

My little brother is on #3. all 3 were brand new (not refurbs).

The denial is strong in this one, is there any saving him/her?

maybe now they can start using the billions of dollars that they have to make a reliable console...imagine a world where the xbox 360 has a 1% failure rateHellRazer360

We're 0/4 in this house. 0/8 if you count the repairs.

Not good. I cant see how they couldn't have fixed this by now! I read all the time about new versions of the console coming out with different components installed, i.e. smaller and cooler chips etc, better heatsinks. If my PC was overheating, I know exactly what to do to fix it!

What gives?

Anyway, being part lemming, I hold my hand up and acknowledge ownage by this video if it is RROD and not a power outage.

LOL ROFL LOL

just wow...... i call bullcrap on the 16% its prolly 30% .... :roll:

Where are the lemmings? I think their embarrassed lolI_Helios_I

No. I am just embarrassed by the atrocious grammar/spelling.

Seriously what the hell are you doing with your 360 if it breaks that much on you? I play mine more than anyone on this board and it happened to me once. (which I blame on a software update and knee jerk reaction more than anything)

So after thousands of hours using, it broke on me once, and I got it back within a two week period, from complaining to getting the box to getting it back. It has been running fine ever since.

it means in my house, the 360 has a 100% failure rate. x4 consoles. x8 if you include refurbs.

Nothing special. our 360s were sat with plenty of ventillation. Ran fairly regularly. they just croaked. RRoD.

It took Sony 4 years to fix the DRE, and Sony did not even extend the warranty. They ignored the problem for 4 whole years.

The newer working models were not released until late 2005, so the PS2 took around 4 years to fix its problems. Now I hate Microsoft also, but atleast they owned up to their mistakes and extended the warranty.
