It was so weird. Just came up totally out of the blue. I'm going to try turning it on later tonight, and hopefully it will work, but I doubt it.

Same thing happened to me
Xbox froze up a couple of times, then it just stopped turning on.

Granted had RR0D 3 times now so... use to it

Wrap it in towels for 12 hours and leave it on and hope it works long enough to wait on a replacement.

Interestingly, mine RRoD'd with 2 red lights. Made a sound a like a vacuum for 2 weeks, then turned itself off mid-game.. Never saw the 3rd light :)

At least it has the common courtesy to say "fuck you!" with fancy red lights before dying. Much nicer than back in the day when your console would die unannounced.

Each level of light is a different type of malfunction

I believe 4 Red Rings is video cable not being hooked up properly.
1 is Harddrive problem/failure.

3 is death.
Forgot what 2 is.

No no, 3 is profit.

Shipped my 360 off to a better place today. I hope it is able to work out its AODA issues in 2-3 weeks and I can welcome it back into my life then.

Yes, I found that out after I got the problem. But it's not really a "ring" when there's only 2 lights, so it's never a "red ring of death", more like "the half-pipe of death" :p

Of course, the important thing is that I can't play it anymore :D

If you only got 2 lights then it wasnt the RROD. RROD has 3 lights. 2 lights mean it was a different problem that caused your 360 to die.

I heard if you give your 360 a bath it will work again. :ohreilly:

Haha, I forgot to check the quote box. I wrote that in reply to BaB's message. I know the 2 red lights is some other thing (overheating), but the bottom line is that my 360 doesn't work anymore. I don't really care if that happened with 2 red lights or 3, or 14 green lights :)

And since it had been more than a year since I bought it, and that the extended warranty was only for 3 red lights, it couldn't have been replaced for free.

Bleh, you are thinking small.

Tell them its 3 RRoD anyhow, send it to them.. at worse they send it back to you not fixed.

It's too much of a hassle. We don't have an Xbox repair service here in Turkey (heck, Microsoft hasn't even started selling the 360 here, it's not officially out, and probably never will be). I have to send it to the UK, and I just can't be bothered. Maybe if I go there this summer..

If you're going to the UK this summer, will you come through Holland? If so, we should meet up.

I'd really like that, but I'll be going by plane.. It's not even certain if I will be going, so..

Maybe some other time. :) When I have a job, I might be able to fly to London myself, which would make it easier.
