In cases like this, it makes me wonder if its the power brick causing the problem. Call them back and tell them what happened. Maybe they'll send you a new brick this time.

0110 GPU Error this is usually caused by cold solder joints where the GPU connects to the mainboard. see error 0102 for more detailed information. I found this at http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=484726

i was thinking if it was the power brick or the hard drive, cause before i was freakin out saving corrupted files and stuff, but i was playing without it! i just bought 5 new games! i didnt even openned assassins creed! and of course i dont want to wait another month for them to send me a new one. By the way, the console MFR date is 2007-10-25

Fan coolers with external power! so nothing to do with the external device taking power out of the 360

i was fed a story about the powerbrick needing to be plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a power strip or surge protector because it damages the console over time. I think it had more to do with a loose heat sink clamp. I could hear rattling when i moved my console.

your suppose to, theres a sensor in all 360's that tells the console whether its horizontal or verticle so it knows in which quadrants to flash the lights.....if you dont believe me, check out xbox.com

I dont think the falcon chip ones are any better because my 360 ( bought 12/24/07 ) already got RROD last week but it still wroks. Well it got RROD then i displugged everything from the back then plugged everything back in and it worked.

No i heard that just messes up your 360 more. I would just call and meybe the next one they give you should hopefully work.

nah. the towel trick only brought mine back to life for about a day. i tried it figuring i've already gotten the RRoD, what else could it hurt? It did work but it went back to the RRoD the next day. And the rattling sound was most definitely a loose heatsink clampand not a sensor.
