Just curious, but who else has experienced the ring of death?

I know I've seen a posts about it here and there, but I figured I would try and post a poll to see who here has experienced it.  Reason I'm asking, is I've gone through 3 in the past year alone, 2 of which were covered by Best Buy's product replacement plan (thank God I bought it).  I just feel like maybe I have the worst luck.

By the way, this post is not intended to bash Microsoft, so please don't do that here.

so technically yours doesn't count:wink:cloudiest_wolf

I experienced the red ring of death once, however I was able to fix the problem by moving the power brick from the carpet and plugging the console directly into the wall instead of a power strip. My 360 has worked fine ever since.

yea.... twice i had to send my xbox in to be fixed... like now i miss my xbox

it happen on my xbox 1.

funny thing was that my bro got mad for losing(a lot) and shook the controller, but it fell out of his hand and hit the xbox. so funny.

i still remind him of that day:lol:

Twice. The first time was 6 months after I bought it. I did the troubleshooting provided in the MS webpage and it was fine. But 3 weeks after that I got it again due to pretty hardcore overheating, and had to send my console for repair (I got it back in 5 days though). For my second console I bought a computer fan, and now it doen't even get warm.gp19

Is that how long it takes?  I just got the ring of death the other day but I power cycled and it worked again.  I think I may still send it in for repairs but I didn't know how long it would take.

My question was about the time it takes for Microsoft to turn around a system that has been sent in to them.
