mangriff32 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 So my xbox keeps freezing after 5 minutes of play, and its really hot when it freezes, so im assuming that im about to get the 3 red rings. I have no warranty but ill send it in. Any tips on what to do?
Dan Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Sorry The only thing that I could suggest is to use some unconventional methods that can be found online. Try google or youtube.
SmokiestGrunl Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Thats what happened to be before I got RRoD up the ass. Then they tried to blame it on me. Nothing you can do really. Have you had the brick less than 3 years?
mangriff32 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Yeah about a year and a half or so. Why? Edited February 8, 2009 by mangriff32
Dan Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Yeah i think so. If you've had it for less than 3 years, you still have your RROD warrenty on it. Edited February 8, 2009 by xDansomee
SmokiestGrunl Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah about a year and a half or so. Why? Its still in M$ warranty. Should be able to get it fixed for free.
mangriff32 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Posted February 8, 2009 So i just called and im sending it in for free .But i dont have the three red rings yet, it just freezes for now. Any way to well....Get the red rings?

Any way to well....Get the red rings? Leave it running for a while. Edit: Under a towel. Edited February 8, 2009 by SmokiestGrunl
Dan Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 So i just called and im sending it in for free .But i dont have the three red rings yet, it just freezes for now. Any way to well....Get the red rings? Turn it on, put it in a hot cupboard, and surround it with clothing, towles etc.
mangriff32 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Posted February 8, 2009 lmao. I didnt even put towels on it, and i touched it with my hand lightly and it got red rings
Quinn Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 lmao. I didnt even put towels on it, and i touched it with my hand lightly and it got red rings Lol Microshit Quality, just touch it and it breaks!
Decatur Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I actually want to break mine and it refuses to. I put it in my drawer, put it IN 5 pairs of sweat pants, a thermal, and tightly packed the drawer with clothes, no disc in the tray and nothing I put it in for 1 hour sessions, take it out for about a half hour, and stick it back in. It's currently on it's third session, any suggestions, should I put a game in the disc drive?
mangriff32 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 Well make sure that when you do that, leave it for like an hour, and then turn it off, but leave it wrapped in all of it, and let it do a "Hot-Cool Down" for about an hour or so. If you really want to break it quickly do this,Turn it on, do the "Uber Overheat" as you described and then leave it wrapped until the next time you do the session. It should break within a week or so. And then you could always just take my advice and flick it

I want this thing dead. EDIT: Heres my setup, I don't see how this survives.

Korupt Data Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 If it comes to it stick it in the microwave..... lol Or stick it in front of a electric heater like i did.
Decatur Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) My 360 is in a virtual oven. It has been in for 6 hour shifts, this is the thing people pray for. HOw long should this take? EDIT: it gets so hot that it shuts it self off.Takes roughly 30-50 minutesIs that normal?WHen that happens I just let it cool off for an hour then turn it on for another sesion Edited February 9, 2009 by Fatal Error
iBotPeaches Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Put it where you normally play it. Pop in Halo 3 Campaign and start the biggest level of them all, I think Halo. Then let it sit. That uses the most resources of the console, and make sure your on live too. Leave that for however long it takes without towels or anything and it will RROD.

I heard gears 1/2 too cause it pushes the GCard

You got a fighter,like me mine's got the RROD three times on my box still works SUCK IT B****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited February 10, 2009 by GMOF Slidell♥
mangriff32 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Posted June 2, 2009 This is bloody ridiculous. Now it has the three red rings AGAIN. This is the third time that I'll be sending it in. I yelled at India for about an hour demanding a non-refurbished brand new 360. Damn you microsoft. Damn you.
Random1225 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 lol that sucks. My 360 gets the red ring like every few days, but I'm not sending it back until it's like about to explode.
mangriff32 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Posted June 5, 2009 Alright so here's my dilemma. I sent it in all nice and well, so I'm just waiting for it to get back. But I want to prevent this from happening again, because its bloody annoying to go through this. So I wanted to see if anyone had a solution that didn't require me opening my xbox (I will when my warranty is up). Also, I want to keep my xbox horizontal not vertical, if that has to do with anything. Another thing, if you point me to a fan, can you tell me if it's loud? I really dont want to her "WURRRRRRRR" when playing Halo 3, more than I already do from the xbox reading the disk. Much love to whoever helps.
