My Brand new 360 is working just fine now it was my own stupidity not any fault with the console.
SO I wait........and wait.........and wait FINALLY around like 6 UPS comes. I'm pissed from waiting. Poor UPS guy was just tired for being out for 12 freakin hours.
I sign for it bring it in the house rush it upstairs get everything ready.
I run into my first problem........I don't know how to turn on the controller the Old Logitech pad on the OG XBOX were always on.
OH press start DUH. so I get my 360 all fired up again. have trouble setting it to 720p but finally get it right.
Ok lets play some games. I open DOA 4 and put that puppy in. Eliot makes me his bitch right away. I continue. I'm in the dinosaur Jungle fighting Jan Lee and.....everything goes black...... the 3 rings of death..........OH NO I GOT A DEFECTIVE CONSOLE!
I don't panic I call support do what it says.......remove the hard drive hey it's working again. Better play it safe and talk to a support person. NOOOOOOOO it's from India NOOOOOOO they don't even have 360 there. Obviously they were NO HELP. But hey my 360 is running again. So I put in Sonic the Hedgehog wow is this game purty. I start playing......load screen.......cut scene........load screen......Rings of death......AH Dammit
I call again........I undo everything......hey it's running fine now... Hey maybe if I put it on it's side it'll be ok. So I do. I get off the phone with Apu and fire up my 360, play some demo, DOA 4 again hey this things running fine now.
Then I find out the problem wasn't that it was upright or the Hard drive or disc drive......it was plugged into a surge protector.
although just to be safe I think i'll keep it it's side the entertainment center is open air.
funnily enough I got a red light on my OG XBOX too but that was no biggie the AV Cord came out when I moved it over to put my 360 where it was.
Hardware faliure is Vague does anybody know what the 3 red flashing lights with the upper right one not flashing means?
