Is it an old one? I thought the latest batches had finally fixed that problem. |

was orginal elite model about three maybe four years old. It was prolly its time. heard today that back then the failure rate for those was something like 58%.

He stayed on the honor roll all year. I think he's doing all right. Anyway, you guys are being a little vague with your fix descriptions. Can ya be a little more specific? Boarslayer. |

I feel for you. I got the RROD about 6 months ago. Don't do the self fix, it's temporary, and will void your warranty. I won my X-Box in a drawing while I was leaving Iraq the last time, so I didn't have a warranty. Cost me $75 to get it fixed, and it took about a week and a half. Well worth it.

We've had the RROD 2 times and a video error that wouldn't clear. Took it into Best Buy and walked out with a brand new replacement each time. (extended warranty certainly paid off and they carried the warranty over on each of the new ones)
We ended up buying a cooling fan that attaches to the back and no issues for over a year now. Between my 19 year old and 14 year old that thing gets some serious use. |

I had two RRODs on 2 machines within 2 months. Gave up on the platform. May get another sometime, since I have a few games collecting dust.

I have had 3 RROD's and the newer system got RROD faster then the older ones. MS sent me an older system as a replacement. FU MS!!!!! POS!!!!! If it wasnt for MW2 I wouldnt own this POS system.

Mine did this last year. Send it into their repair facility and they'll have it back to you in a week or two. My repair was free, even though it was out of warranty by at least a year or two.
Forget the wrap-it-in-a-blanket temporary fixes. |
|
I got mine when they first came out. Still works great.

Good for your son. But he's not the norm. Speaks well to his upbringing. |

If it's out of warranty, it's a pretty easy fix.
Just youtube "RROD fix". If you're a girly man, you could just pay somebody $50 to do it. |
|
that was awesome. |
