mine is fixed

caused by burnt PSU haha

but am quite wary about the reliability of a 3rd party one..

nope, there was some sort of 'heat wave' two weeks back, my room was directly facing the sun without any blinds, windows and doors were closed, so the thing just sort of overheated to death. only played it for 15 minutes before I went out, and when I came back, it was already dead. the 'heat wave' wiped out my computer's graphics card as well.

no difference, just that it seems to run hotter than usual. am considering a PSU mod soon.

mine is having intermittent 3RODs, and is now surviving on towel tricks. i wonder how long will it last...

gah. may send it for repair soon.

mine's out of warranty.. let's just keep it at that

mine got revived by Virgil today

hmm today while playing DMC4, suddenly my console shut off and showed 3ROD. but when i turned it off and on again, no more.. what are the chances of another 3ROD?

oh yea my console was revived once by virgil btw

luckily, I still do

meh, if it can't be fixed, I'm gonna hold out for Jasper this time.

this Xbox is really fragile eh, leave it in hibernation for awhile pun tak boleh .. .. later when I'm busy with assignments and no time to play how leh

welcome welcome.

almost all of us suffered 3ROD already.

really? now I'm in a dry stage, not playing the box much coz of exams and part-time work. I do turn it on once every few days just to give it a run.

the problem is, sometimes I forget to turn it off and leave it on for almost 24 hours no affect on the reliability whatsoever?

that happens when the 360 is sharing the same display as your computer and is placed quite close to it.

ventilation no problem, the box is in an open area

the box is doing fine so far, it 3ROD'd once when playing the last stage of DMC4 a few weeks back though, just crashed and then 3ROD appeared. after that I gave it a reset and no more.. even about 2 hours of Dead Rising also no problem.

maybe it's just a one-off recurrence.. should be okay right?

I owe it to you that my box is running fine today

oh shoot I got 3ROD when playing Lost Odyssey just now, and it's okay after a reboot.

PMSing?

@Virgil

can my machine be repaired a second time in case of another occurrence of perma-3ROD?

zzz mine is hanging all over the place but not 3ROD-ing yet. early symptoms I believe.

not the drive right? as long as the drive can read the disc I don't think it's a problem.

well I'll stick to my word -- if it fails again, try and fix it again, if perma-3ROD then I'll wait until Jasper or Valhalla then get another machine.

hate playing Russian Roulette every time I boot up my machine.
