so saddd

I was enjoying playing Chromehounds yesterday.....without any problems or lag...was about to start a mission with Jaylike,Firdaus n Terrorisk....then suddenly d game froze...nothing moved on my TV screen....then i rebooted...n all ok..tried to reconnect to Sega server....then it froze again....at first I thought that it might be a server problem ...then I switched off d console n went to sleep...

This morning...i woke up n switched d console on....everything was working fine until i was about to start playing chromehounds...then d system froze again...n once again I rebooted the console feeling sooooo frustrated...n then the most scariest thing that can happen to any xbox360 owner seems to be knocking my door on this 1 unlucky day ....ITS D

3 BLINKING RED LIGHTS OF DEATH......

NO VIDEO OUTPUT....NO ROARING SOUNDS OF THE CPU....

Then dunno what was d error about...i ran to my pc n quickly went to xbox-scene.com forum n read everything about error codes......then ran back to d console n did a diagnostic test (using a method to find hidden code coz no video came out frm my xbox) n turned out to be the horrifying 0102 error code .....

although they said in d forum that using Hot Air Gun can fix d problem...but will it last ?I dont think its because of overheating coz i have Nyko intercooler attached n it shud be cooler....but they might circulating hot air coz in small game room there is no air cond..just a fan...i dunno....

I tried rebooting my console for 50 times straight n still no results....have tried everything suggested in d xbox-scene forum but nothing worked....havent tried d hot air gun method yet.....coz i need to open everything...n not sure whether d warranty still valid or not coz bought it frm primer last month.....if d warranty has expired or not valid...then i will try d hot air gun thingy....or if im too lazy..i might be getting a new one instead....shud i repair it or just get a new one(no money waaa)??

If i get a new one then I will use d old one as a watercooling n case modding project(if i can somehow fix them using hot air guns) or i'll just disassemble everything n sell d parts......i might just do that.....arghh im soooo frustrated n cannot think straight now.....

might be selling some of my games..parts n controller to support my new 360 so i will let u guys know when d times come....

Today is just another series of unfortunate events in my life....a BIG SIGH

Guys...be xtra careful n take a very good care of ur console...

bro ajak sorry to hear that what happened. actually few days ago i was playing game in my 360 then i accidently kicked the stepdown transformer and immediately my 360 frozen with the blinking red lights. maybe you can try check on the connection on your stepdown transformer (if you are using a japanese set)

well sorry cant offer any help to you but just give it a try.

so sorry to hear that ajak. heard some rumour that CH game can cause overheating to the console, dunno how true is it. your console is JP or SG set?

MK84 console also died, which is JP set. Firdaus and cruxader console also have died ang got replaced, tonite if got chance wanna ask them theirs is JP or SG set.

+ dynamo, evilswat....so many case around!...do u guys think the faulty rate rather too high!!!

those ppl with these cases, got install the nyko IC or not?

me light oso blinkin sumtime..
the controller light blinking n pusing2...
but no red wan..
i think its the controller battery... rite?

yup thats battery low, the bliking red thingy they talking about is on the console.

my blinking 1,3,4 red lights records 58 times very happy now cause my 360 gonna explore no more 360 whoopee!!

there is no doubt that most xbox360 has come out of this issue.
to prevent it happen, mostly cause by the overheating because of bad cooling system of it.
i would suggest u guys to mod your cooling fan(sure no more warranty).
mine work pretty good now after the modding.

Gosh.... once i saw this thread my heart suddenly stop for few seconds... let's pray that everything will be fine...

sghicgihagihgiugcs..... i need an aircond asap

Error code ER68 victim here, i have the honor of being the first Malaysian owner with 3 blinking red lights when i received my US 360. (hint: US 360, hence im screwed in terms of having to return defective unit back to the States). Narrowed it down to the HDD being faulty , and ripped that thing apart to see whats wrong. Ended buying a new HDD from US as well. No problems till now.

how and what you mod?

I have no air cond, and my 360 runs for days at a time to download and play.. yet I haven't (knock on wood) over heated before yet. hmmm...

asian and jap first batch...careful with it...

modding yo show some picture babeh

i second that. some picture would be really nice.

what i did are thermal upgrade and Fan modding.
u guys can get all the tutorial over here.

I don't think so. Less than half a dozen cases out of about a hundred console (in this forum) is pretty reasonable for any product. The unfortunate thing for us is that there's no official support for the console here so we're screwed if anything happens to it

Don't worry ajak, worse comes to worse, you'll get to play your PAL console again when you go back to the UK
