update failure

[quote user="brandiesel1"]^^ So are you saying that the updates cause the subsystem failure which in turn bricks the console?[/quote]The updates expose failure of an update subsystem component. They do not cause the failure. If you have a console that is
offline between several update cycles and the flash memory goes bad during that offline period, ANY update would cause a failure, not just a specific update.

Your console asked for an update because the hard drive failed and it could not read the previous install of the update. It's not the update that causes the failure but rather the failure causes the need for an update.

ok microsoft said that the disc drive is constantlly running even if there is nothing in it they will fix it if you send it in

If you have not modified your console in any way, nor have you had an unauthorized repair, then please call 800-4MY-XBOX to discuss the issue with a phone agent.
