I have a sneaky feeling that it has something to do with my disk drive. My 360 can play Arcade games no problem, but it freezes when it plays normal disc games. Live is ok. 

[WTS]
5.Brand New Power Adapter (the huge thing providing power to ur unit) - cost close to Rm300 on ebay.uk..if no one wants it..will sell on ebay

yeah, when I bought my machine (RM2K or so that time) I had to scrape for every sen that I can find to buy it. Now that my machine is dead, trying to find another RM1.5K or so for a new console is another huge task, especially with other things in life that takes priority like my car, family, friends, blah blah blah 

Which is why I feel so discouraged now. Most likely I'll hold off buying a new console until DOAX2 comes out. It's the only game that I really really wanna play at the moment  Hopefully all 360s will be more stabler by then too.....

Thank you for writing Xbox Customer Support!

I do apologize for the inconvenience. I understand that when you play a game, use the Xbox Dashboard or the Xbox Guide, or wait for the console to start, the screen may freeze, but you do not receive an error message, and no lights flash on the console to indicate a problem.

Please try the following steps to resolve the concern youâeuro(tm)re having:
1.    Restart the console.
2.    Determine whether the issue has occurred more than one time. If this case is the first time that you have experienced this behavior, the issue may not occur again.
3.    Determine whether the Xbox 360 console is overheating. Make sure that the console is not in a poorly ventilated environment or near a heat source. Heat sources include TVs, computers, monitors, and other electrical devices.
a.    If the Xbox 360 console is in a poorly ventilated location, move it to a location that has sufficient ventilation, such as on top of a table or on the floor. If the issue is resolved, the previous location likely did not provide sufficient ventilation for the Xbox 360 console to correctly function.
b.    View the Xbox 360 instruction manual for information about correct placement of the console.
4.    Make sure that the Xbox 360 console is set to the correct time and date.
5.    Remove all unnecessary peripherals, and then test to see whether the problem still occurs.
6.    Determine whether the disc that you are using is the cause of the issue by testing several similar Xbox 360-compatible discs in the console. If the problem occurs with only one disc, use a disc of the same type, such as a game disc, a DVD movie, or a music CD, to test whether the problem is the specific disc.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Xbox Customer Service

bro try send back to japan using fedex lah. you dont have to buy a new console that cost you rm1.5k just email msoft singapore and workout a solutions. if not you email to msoft USA complained them kaw2.

Honestly emailing MS sg is not gonna do any good... you have to remember that when we purchased the JP sets, they were units made and intended for the JP market only... so if anything happens you have to deal with MS jp... and guys do remember that the warranty period for the units are 90 days only... unless you purchased the extended warranty... so just go back to the vendor you got the machine from and see how much it would cost for them to send it back to jp and get it repaired...

^ Dont know if ajak's fault is caused by a faulty power adaptor or the x360 it self.

huh warranty 90 days only? not 1 year meh? then i better open up my 360 and do some modification macam bro metal lah

its not caused by the power adapter since im using it now with my new console..so it shud be the console itself...n most likely to be d solder joints problem...coz thats d only fault I can think of right now since d error code was 0102.....yup bro dark..like bro judge said...try to ask MS first...u might be able to get a free repair for ur console if u r willing to wait....but most of the time they will still charge u for the repair which they have set for $130.00....thats minus shipping n call charges...so sum up it would be close to rm1000 to repair the console....and it cant be guaranteed that u will get back the exact console..they might change it to the refurb one n if say they've managed to repair it...i bet the problem will still persist in 1-2 months time...

considering all the above.....that is why i bought a new unit..then sell all the new accessories...which if u r lucky can cover almost half of the unit price.....after all..all i need is just the console...
