Xbox 360 Error Crashing to Dashboard NEED HELP

You are using the xbox 360 console vertically, an unfavorable position to be avoided because it can cause scratches to the game disc and other parts of the console. I suggest you to have that xbox repaired after registering it:

myservice.xbox.com/.../Welcome.aspx

the games just crash to the dashboard during the 360 startup screen with no error message not long before this started happening I once tried playing them and the Xbox said I needed to be connected to xbox live to play them and I have played them offline
before so I thought he Xbox was just playing up

If you have also tried playing things that you have installed on your HDD and it does the same thing then it probably is the motherboard. If those work fine then it might be the HDD like you believe. Here is a link to get it repaired

support.xbox.com/.../repair-process.

Ok fair enough mate the console is indeed dead xbox support helped me with a few troubleshooting steps which proved unsuccessful they were helpful and polite though to try and resolve my issue they thought that my HDD was causing the problem but even
then with it removed it still crashes constantly looks like my only alternative is to purchase a new console as repairing it would be difficult not because of the issue as i could easily replace the motherboard but finding the old none HDMI motherboard in
the first place which is dated these days

Thanks everyone for the input

Quick question though am i right in saying the new Xbox consoles S and E are incompatible with my 250GB HDD from the earlier none HDMI model as they are built inside

Cheers

im on xbox live chat support and troubleshooting will get back to see if the problem is resolved thanks
