Xbox ring of death = Depressed

[e30slidewayz]

My buddy has an Xbox that had that problem. He got a "fix kit" off ebay for about $6 and his is all good now. He said it took him about an hour and a half to do it, but it worked. He's playin skyrim nonstop now lol.

I took a blacksmith's life to build dragonplate armor. Totally worth it.

Thanks guys you have made my day.

Sony can go suck it.

Seriously though, I went through 2 Xbox's before getting a reman PS3 from game stop.

I love it. Plus it doubles as a blueray player


Oh, and it doesn't break.

Did I mention it doesn't break? Oh, well it doesn't.

Cool story bro, I've got my original xbox 360 from like 4 years ago and haven't got the red ring yet.

Brah, your time is coming.

^^^ my home boys PS3 had a "yellow" light of death, my xbox is still fine :D
ps3's do break, don't be so damn arrogant.

[Exodus_2pt0]

don't be so damn arrogant.

Woah I thought we were all having fun here.

Of course PS3's break, they are all electronic items. Didn't realize people took these game consoles so damn seriously.

:finger:

Oh yea, arrogant like this?

i put it in second and came around a 90 degree corner in my neighbor hood, keep in mind its raining buckets here. i gas it and turn left and immediately i'm sideways and i'm like looking down the left curb like SHIT and i counter steer and then i'm looking at the right side curb thinking HOLY shit. then i do a 180 and rest on the right side curb way too close, way to lucky.
i'm still shaking.

By no means do I recommend; the solder issue is really common, I've heard of a really backyard way of fixing it. My coworker "claims" his friend did this and it worked.
Wrap the xbox in a towel and microwave it for 10 seconds to reestablish broken traces...... Um, yeah.

Just hear-say, being regurgitated

I have also heard there that xbox 720 may come out at the end of the year.

Nope. Too many XB360 games coming out for that to happen. IF it did, it would cannibalize those sales, and then the money they would have to spend to put out new dev kits for new games and ramp up production on a new console is super cost prohibitive. If it came out this year, it's the end of Microsoft. Only consoles coming out are the PSVITA and Wii U

Well since it has past warranty I could pull it apart and inspect it, doupt I would be able to find fractures in the solder though. my eyes are not that good lol.

that's not arrogant of me that was just plain stupid lol, and i gladly and openly admitted it in that thread.

This was a launch model. I tried every trick in the book. The towel trick and the hardware fix. I build desktops so the hardware fix was easy enough. I went from the RRD.



to...



but after a month and a half it busted. I got an Arcarde and threw my harddrive on it. For all intents and purposes it is the same damn Xbox.

[SedanSandwich]

Build a PC. do everything. spend like $300 10 years later to run new shit. I used to have consoles but I never used them much after building a PC so I just sold them. I don't regret it.

[Rau]

That's the two-ring light. Overheat. That's why it was so simple. It's not three lights.....

If you weren't in South Australia I'd sell you mine for 125$... Its the white 360. I've used it about 7 times. Played GTA and shot and blew up people and then got bored. The shipping and risk of it breaking or something probably isn't worth it.
