Members Daniel Kamerman Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 It means it pretty much {censored} right? Can someone give me some websites where I can go to see about sending it in to get it fixed. I'm too {censored}ing angry to look around right now. I've only had this piece of {censored} 3 {censored}in months. It worked one second, than I turned it off to plug in the ethernet cable and when I turned it back in, it was glowing red. {censored} Microsoft.

Members BigFatPaulWall Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 Wow...I've had my Xbox for 2 years now and it's never had any issues. I guess I just take care of my stuff, so that must explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just take care of my stuff, so that must explain it. Even if you take perfect care of them, some of them will still give you the 3 red rings. They should have made them a little bigger and spread stuff out a little more so that the air from the fan can get at all the parts more easilly.

Members lordlargen Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 this happened to my stepsons. dont worry they fix it for free. go to xbox website and call their 800#. you get a box to pack it up along with a call tag.send it off and they replace it or give you a new one. go on youtube and look up red ring of death. thats whats it is called.

Members Dropsix Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 I always find it funny how there always HAS to be that "well mine didn't break..." guy in these threads lol. As if someone was asking them.It's like someone making a thread about their car breaking down after suffering from a commonly recognised malfunction on one particular day, and everyone else who owns a similar car posts "oh....mine didnt....". Who gives a flying {censored} about yours lol. Unless you're that insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Daniel Kamerman Posted May 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm trying some things to see if it will work, after reading through the xbox FAQ, it might not be from the console being bad, be back with updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lordlargen Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 i wouldnt bother with trying to fix it, i tried the same stuff. if you have the red ring, get the replacement. the towel trick worked for a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a flying {censored} about yours lol. Unless you're that insecure. yep...it is annoying. The only thing more annoying is when people end a post with "just sayin'". What that means is that they should be exempt from any criticism of their post because they didn't mean anything...they were JUST SAYIN'. I hate that {censored}ing phrase more than anything. Just sayin' doesn't exonerate anyone from being a flaming asshole.Sorry...I don't know how I touched on that tangent...I've had a bad weekend.

Members lordlargen Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 What's the towel trick? my stepson found this on youtube. while we were waiting for the box and stuff from microsoft we tried wrapping the xbox in a towel. did everything like the youtube clip. it worked for about 4 hours. got to play games for awhile. we were laughing all night. give it a try.
