Help.. I don't know what's wrong with my 360..!

Hello everyone,

So, I was gonna play a game on my xbox360 ( Assassin's Creed).. The game shows the intro, and then you get the menu, after selecting new game, the game loaded. Then it started and in like the first few seconds I get and error.

It was telling me that it couldn't read the disc. So, I got the cd out cleaned it, and now it freezes when I select new game. I've also tried with other games, and it does the same thing. At least, it hasn't shown the flashing red rings.. I also tried playing the demos, and still the same thing. Now, I'm gonna attempt removing the hard drive like it says here:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907586/

If this doesn't work, I don't know what else to do.. any tips? has this ever happened to anyone?

Thanks.!

okay, this is really crazy.. it flashed the red rings.. I let it wait a few minutes, and it turns on like nothing ever happened..?!

Sad to say friend your 360 was fighting a virus. It will more then likely be the end and playing it X amount of hours has NOTHING to do with it. If you have a console manufactured during the periods of Nov 2005 to March 2007 chances are your console will sooner or later fail. The heatsink chips in these models came from a manufacturing plant that used inferior parts and Microsoft did not learn of this until it was already a HUGE problem.

Recently Microsoft took great measures in trying to fix this problem by removing all stock from store shelves, creating better heatsink chips and sending them back out to the stores but this only took affect in late July so MANY MANY MANY people had already purchased a ticking time bomb. To rectify this Microsoft issued an extended THREE YEAR warranty to those who experience the RROD. My advice to you is send it to Microsoft get it repaired or replaced then if you can sell it or trade it in to get a NEWER console with the HDMI ports and new heatsink chips. You shouldn't have any issues with those.

I wonder if costco will give me a new one..LilyZombie

Not unless it's been 7 days from purchase OR you have their in store extended warrenty.

Call it in to microsoft. You are going to have to send it in. When i sent mine in i got a new console. I had two issues with mine and they decided not repair it. I got a new console with a note telling me to process it quicker they sent me a new one. I was only away for 2 weeks.

If you want to try something tell them your dvd drive will not open without a disc. That is what mine had so i had to force it open if i had closed it withough a disc. Because they would have to fix the heatsink and the drive they just shipped me a new one. You can try that tactic to get it back sooner or just wait.

Is that smart to lie about it's malfunction..? I just don't wanna wait that long. I'm on vacation now, and there isn't really anything to dohere at my house..My onlyoption, that doesn't take too long is going to Costco. But I'm not sure, if they'll give me a new one..:?

And now that I think of it... I don't remember where's my receipt. Plus, I don't live in the States.. I live in Puerto Rico, will MS take an order somewhere else that's not the States?LilyZombie

Costco will NOT take it back unless you have a warrenty from them or it has been less then seven days isnce purchase. Microsoft will TAKE it back without a receipt and form Mexico so long as you register with them.

I believe so. But I doubt you can send it in without receipt if you didn't buy it in states. And I think you need to pay quite a shipping and handling fee

Lol. Costco is evil

So, MS will take it without charging me, but they won't take it since I don't have my receipt..? :?

This is all so very confusing...

Lol, you guys don't know how Costco works around here.. I took an Ipod and it had like 6-7 months, it didn't really have any problems. But it was one of those nano Ipod's that were 4gb and cost about $279. When I saw that there were new ipods with more capacity and cheaper, I gave my ipod to Costco telling them that it was faulty, and they gave me the money back.

Yay! called Costco and they said to bring it in, and they'll give me a new one.. how cool! :D

I like how Costco works in Puerto Rico.
