XBOX360 Help!!!?
 

My XBOX360 seems to be messing up, everytime I switch it on the light [that is supposed to be green] turns red, and the games will not play! Anyone know how to fix it?

Likely that you will have to send it to Microsoft to be repaired (for free)

You should've got a PS3 instead. 360s break ludicrously easy.

if you send it to Microsoft they'll fix it for you for free and give you a free month's xbox live.

Thanks!

You will have to get it repaired but they are really good with the repairs. It will be done quickly

if its three lights... then read on.

Bare in mind this is only a temporary fix and you will have to send it to microsoft.

1. Rap your console into 3 towels, make sure they are rapped tight. Leaving the xbox turned on.

2. Leave it for 30 minutes, you must let it bake for this to work !

3. After the 30 minutes, unplug it and leave it to cool down for around 15 minutes.

4. after 15 minutes, plug it back in and turn it on.

5. if this process doesn't work, leave it to cool down for longer

Hope this helps :spin2:

Thanks, I'll give that a go :thumbs:

The red rings of death!.. Get a new xbox 360, chance of that breaking down are slim.. And then buy a PS3, but wait till the end of october for the 160gb PS3.

When did you get your Xbox?
(Just curious as mines a Chrimbo 2007 one)

Around about the end of 2007.

Ah... I hope mine doesnt break anytime soon

Mine did the same thing, however, i got lucky, because sometimes it doesn't actually brake, don't get why lol, but i turned mine off and back on and it worked ! (thankfully lol)

Just phoned the customer support line today (yes, almost 2 months later), my brothers one broke too.
