I got the 3 red lights again, it took them 3 weeks to fix it last time for it to break down 2 days later, so it looks like mine is dead, only after having it for 5 months.
I know there is fuck all I can do, like refusing to buy a X-box again or sending a letter of complaint to Microsoft .... Might as well be pissing in the wind ...

I just want to know have they changed the 360 at all since the first batch of machines ?? Extra fans inside or something, I don't want to buy another 360 and it dies again after 3 months, are the newer models more reliable then the older models ...... I'm really missing my FPS Wink

I'm gonna get a core machine as I have the hard drive and 2 wireless controllers already so should only be about 150 quid, but I'll be pissed if it breaks down again.

demand a new machine.

I took a poll of 466 votes, 54% had no issues, 46% had issues.

Half the 46% had to repeatedly send in their 360 for repair, the remainder no longer have an issue after getting a new console.

demand a new machine, their repair service is either ensuring it works when it gets to you (no guarantee for any other time) or they send you some other poor souls console which just died, and perform the same repairs.

You're almost guaranteed to need to send back a "repaired" or "refurbished" console.

They've really done nothing to fix it. If you dont have warranty this is a 90% sure fix for you problem.

I've had more success with RBJtech's method. No longer cringe when we turn on our xboxes.

i think hes modded his firmware hence voiding his warranty, send it to a repair shop or fix it yourself using the heatsink method.

My 360 is flashed, and my local Thai fixers are fixing it, Microsft hasn't even released the 360 in Thailand, they seem to think we have got a problem about Piracy ?!?

Hope Master Juba didn't for the first time say anything interesting/Constructive or helpful, cos I can't see his posts.

If I uby a new one I'm gonna get one of those fans that go on the back, or get another internal one

Ive had a Nikon Intercooler on my 360 pretty much since launch day. Ive had the 3 red lights issue a couple of times but it seems to have resolved itself just by turning off the console and powering back on again. I havent had the red lights for some time now. Its an odd thing. For some people it seems to be permanent. What exactly causes the red lights? Is it just overheating or are there many symptoms that cause it?

Shit manufacturing/design of "X" clamps cause the board to flex when heated = 3 red lights.
