NNOOOO!!! my xbox!

Posted by polles - July 6th, 2009


like a lot of people, my xbox got the red rings of death. the thing is, it might have another problem too. a few days ago, my xbox froze up after playing halo 3 for about 20 minutes. the screen had a weird pattern and the sound squealed. i tried doing all sorts of things from the outside of it, like putting a fan on it and such but the amount of time it worked kept getting shorter and shorter. i was too lazy to call microsoft for a while, and just today i tried turning it on. the screen was black and the controller slots were flashing red. ive been looking omline for any fixes, but so far ive only found ones you have to pay for. i saw one fix and i got halfway through taking it apart when there was a tool i didnt have. then i realized the video was just a preview. anyone know if microsoft still charges to fix this? (or any home fixes)

I think it depends on the red sections, if there's three then I heard they don't charge( they actually extended xbox warranties but only for three sections). Everything else I think you have to pay for like I told them mine had two and they said like $120.

yeah theres three, but i think it usually happens just like that instead of breaking after use... (now it just starts with the rings)
