My Xbox is Dead!

[House MD 221B]

Hi all, just to let you know I won't be on for a few weeks.

I'm going away next week and I'm sending off the Xbox for repair :( so it could be 2-3 weeks before I'm back on, so I look forward to flying with you all again.

Also, ALL 202nd Exorcists, x Blue Leader x is in charge until I return.

No worries mate, enjoy the time away. Looks like your grounded for a while.


Take care, we'll catch you soon.

[King Jareth]

Catch you laters old bean.

The box took a stray round to the GPU huh? Well, I hope it gets a good fix while in the hanger.. In the meantime, enjoy the R&R, and we will look for you in the virtual air soon...

[dazz1971]

have a great time away mate catch you when you get back

[Reddisback]

Mind asking?

what kinda console do you have? ( xbox 360, i know that)

but what is the Production date of it?
that is pretty inportant.

[House MD 221B]

Not sure, I've had it for over 2 years without any problems whatsoever, and I was downloading some arcade content which kept failing, so I turned it off and back on again except it wouldn't come back on again.

I know some people get lots of trouble, but I've always been fine, guess it was saving itself up :)


and its MFR: 2007-08-13 so 13th August 2007 I'm guessing. (2 Years, 2 Months, and 3 Days old)

I've got all the stuff to post it off just need to take it to the post office now, if they're not having ANOTHER one of their delightfully lazy strikes.

Ouch. I'm scared my XBox may go down soon too, it's been making some strange noises and being a bit louder than usual. :( Or maybe it's just my imagination...

[Sulzer225]

This is one reason I bought a PS3 but now theres a virus on that too!:evil::mad::( Anyway its really rare:)

[Ancient Seraph]

Advantage of the XBOX is that MS does 1 thing well: repairing. Especially with the problems the first batch had.. they did a good job.

[Reddisback]

Mine is From August 8, 2008. so it is just over a year old.
I did had troblem with it. I had an after market Fan on it ti help it cool.
it made a helluva noise and it was not silence. I had starting up problems and i asked xbox.com what to do: they told me to remove the Fan and now i have no problems.

if you have trouble REMOVE AFTER MARKET STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[House MD 221B]

Yeah I got one of those fans too, and I did remove it and try again but it just won't start, if it was a car then it would be the starter motor... it tries, but there's nothing there, basically it's the cooling silicon fluid pouch thingymabobs leaking over the CPU chips. But I'm not messing with that, I've seen the videos on you tube of how to do it, and it can off sod lol I'm gonna take the 2-3 week wait and let someone capable do it :)

[Robotic Pope]

Thats sucks man :(

My 2 and a half year old 360, went RRoD in middle of the summer. Got a refurbished one back just a week after UPS picked it up. And you can track on it's travels if you wish.

Don't worry, I will look after Red Wing for you ;)

[mattmanB182]

That really sux dude I feel bad for you....

I have been told that the fans actually make the box run hotter since it gets power from the box itself.



I have been there b4 and it feels like FOREVER!!!
