    Can someone explain to me why the 360 that I spent over $400 on a year ago, and is rarely used isn't working? Yet, my Nintendo from the 80's that was constantly played on by five children is still working perfectly to this day. Never once has there been
    a problem with it. Why is that?!!!! I fail to understand how we've come so far in technology since then, but I'm still getting ready to shell out more money for a console that was barely touched in a years time. This is extremely frustrating, and it makes
    me seriously question EVER buying another product.

    :)

    My xbox comes on but the power light is flashing red

    Hi xTheOdyssey.

    Please clarify: is it the power block who has a red light, or the console itself that has the red light? If the console has the red lights, how many red lights are there?

    Thanks!

    Is it a slim? If its not you got the red ring of death. ( original xbox 360 is prone to this).

    It basically overheated. Mine had rrod 3 times before I got a slim.

    I have a snes. It has had pop tarts rammed in it and water poured in it. Yet its still playing fine.

  6. It's the red ring of death. Yes, it's the slim. I'm not sure as to how it could possibly overheat when it's sitting on an entertainment center with airflow...? Not to mention my daughter is 7 so she's not playing it for hours on end. It's an hour at a time,
    at most two of she had a friend playing with her. This is really frustrating. This seems like faulty parts are at play. It certainly wasn't made very well if it only lasted a year.

  7. My slim is 1 year 1 month old and still good.

    its rare to get it on a slim. Is it under warranty? I always get the longest warranty possible.

    The newer e model is pretty solid and has good cooling but not much better than s model.

    Indeed, I've had my 360 S since they hit the shelves and I have never had an issue with it. If it is still under warranty then you can send it in to Microsoft and get it repaired. If not then you can get it repaired out of warranty but it will cost you,
    or you can go purchase a new one, it's really up to you what you wish to do.

    How old is the console? And also 1 red light wil display and an on screen msg will appear. 2 red lights means the console is overheating. 3 red light is a hardware error and 4 red light only exist on the really old consoles (manufatured in late 2005 and
    2006) 4 red light is av cable not detected

    The lights are supposed to be Red I think. It works perfectly for me, and the lights are red.

    Support required for my Xbox 360 E 4 Gb

    Just to ask, how many red rings are there if it's an older console? If it's a slim, do you get a flashing red light or a solid red light?
