xbox 360 bricked due to system update

Well folks, Microsoft is up to the same old tricks! 9/3/2014 I accepted a system update from Microsoft on my xbox360 s 4g console and it complete bricked the console. It turns on, but that's about it. Cannot log in. The console does not boot up.
All I get is an error message telling me to reinstall my hard drive to complete the update. 4174-417F-B780-0F00-C000-007B I have. It didn't work. I have removed the 320g hd and tried to start the console without the hd installed. Same error message. I have
been on the phone with customer support for the last 3 days to find out, that yes my console does need repair and they want to charge me $79.99 or $99.99 to repair a problem that never existed before I accepted Microsoft's mandatory system update. To compound
the problem, Microsoft's computer system they use for customer service has conveniently denied my repeated attempts to pay for said repair, saying I entered my information wrong. The card is good, I checked with the bank. There is money in the account, I checked
with the bank. I was also informed Microsoft cannot use paypal to attempt this payment. I am being told by Microsoft that they cannot do anything if the system wont accept my card info. So to recap, I accepted a mandatory system update that complete bricked
my previously flawlessly working xbox360 s console and Microsoft is saying there is nothing they can do. Anyone else having this problem? Please email me at

Out of service repair on original XBOX 360

i did have the 360s fail on me...less than a year after buying it. that was due to microsoft coming out with last years update on the weekend of may 20th through the 23rd....that update bricked my console.

did anyone here have their 360S system killed by that update?

 

Sorry to hear about your problem. I doubt MS or the Xbox Division has any of the "same old tricks"

As far as experiencing any issues with updates, my update worked fine. Extended warranty has always help prevent any issues with repairs.

 

I use Paypal for all my downloads and DLC and never had a problem.

Quick question - Is your 320 GB HDD an official Microsoft item as numerous 3rd party HDDs have a tendency not to be recognised?

 

Hello "SgtSativa73"

I'm really sorry to hear about your problem, I hope that it gets resolved soon

Also, I agree with Paraffin Alien in regards to the unofficial HDD issues (I still own the Original design Xbox 360 with the 20 GB HDD and I use Flash Drives instead of buying a high capacity unofficial HDD).

Have a nice day or afternoon or night
