My xbox 360 is acting weird...

crabfoot · 06-23-2009, 11:13 AM

Well I noticed it like a week ago. My xbox wouldnt read discs when it first started it up. It would take a good ten mins for it to start reading them again, and today I woke up an turned it on there were 3 flashing red lights so I turned it off and shaked it a little now its working perfectly, and my system is only like 6 months old. Any ideas on what I should do?

You're on the verge of complete RROD failure. It's only a matter of time. From what I hear, MS just stopped supplying free coffins for the 360. Now, they will send you a label but you have to ship it yourself to get it repaired. The RROD is covered under warranty for 3 years, so long as the case isn't modified in any way and the warranty seal is intact.

Oh okay thank you very much. By any chance do you know how long it to take for it to fully just stop working so i can send it in an how much is it to ship?

There is no set time, it will fail when it fails. Just know that it is failing. I have no idea how much it is to ship, you'll have to check with your shipping service.

I believe the label will cover the shipping charges.

I hope you're right. From what I heard, Microsoft stopped shipping the free coffins/packaging, but will still send you a label. Hopefully the label will still pay for the shipping but I can't say for sure either way.

Mircosoft in the UK are still covering costs of shipping, but you have to provide your own packaging.

Crabfoot, seen as your 360 has already RROD once just get in touch with MS now, you shouldn't have to wait for it to completely fail.
