......may I ask why?

I repair them!

TB, I gotta question for you. We get fairly frequent brownouts here, and every time it happens while I have the XB360 on, I get a flashing three-segment red ring:

Thing is, this is a transient condition. I simply power cycle the machine, and it works good as new.

I've searched and searched and I can't seem to find any listing of what actual error codes the various combinations represent, just lots of offers to fix them, complaints about them, etc. Any idea what specific error this particular ring (flashing) represents?

Supposedly there's a problem with the laser on them. A friend of mine does the same thing, buys cheap, fixes them without spending money, sells them again working.

The website guy here has one with the red lights of doom. How much you want to fix?

turbobluemiata 04-02-2009 12:42 PM

I never pay more than 50$ for one and I repair for $40 plus shipping I do the same thing that microsoft does when you return under warranty!

and Joe I'm looking for ones that have mainly three red lights constantly, yours is just a power supply malfunction because of the brown out and would probably do the same thing with a power surge I want the ones that you cant just cycle the power and its fixed, yours is not broke at all so don't worry about it alot of them probably do it during brownouts and power surges

PS: I also Mod drives to read backed up games (if you have the original) :giggle:

Which is what?

My friend at work said he's just going to do the "towel fix" and trade it in.

turbobluemiata 04-02-2009 03:52 PM

well if I told you then you would just do it lol :giggle:

the towel trick doesnt work itll just melt all the solder :brain:

jrw 04-02-2009 05:37 PM

any chance you can fix or know a way to repair one that's losing color?

turbobluemiata 04-02-2009 05:46 PM

losing color? like the video?

jrw 04-03-2009 12:06 PM

everything I've been using it for has a greenish tint, movies or games.

turbobluemiata 04-03-2009 12:57 PM

I think I know whats wrong with it but I believe its some pretty intense soldering so it wouldnt be cheap but Ill let you know

Qckslvr 04-03-2009 02:16 PM

mine just left last week to Microsoft.

I had a 360 with the RROD and looked up on youtube how to fix it. Mine was the magnet in the disk drive that holds down the disc. I fixed it and it worked, but I sold the xbox on ebay anyway.

Now I have a Microsoft refurbished Elite and I've had zero issue thus far. Except for the Fallout 3 DLC fucking up on me, but thats Bethesda's fault. :vash:

I've seen so many good deals on ebay for broken 360's. As long as your not in a hurry, watch, wait, and snag as many as you can. Shit I've thought about buying and selling the things but I don't really have the time.
