dude relax... the power supply overheated ...

here's the link

Thx bro Yoroi for the info... it is said GREEN for normal... mine is YELLOW... once I on the 360.. It becomes RED.... ..

I have off everything for more than 3 hours....

just wait for a while my friend... worse comes to worse just buy the power supply from ajak

U're rite! AJAK!!! U wanna sell your power brick??

maybe your power brick too dusty till block the air ventilation?

try put your power brick to the fridge

Better if you dip it in a bucket of ice.

wow.. bucket of ice hehhe.. KABOOM >< no more 360 powerbrick. shortcircuit

maybe something has melt inside ? (thermal compound ? ) but don't worry though. if not mistaken local technician can fix that. but I'm not very sure about the price.

first things check ur cable (power and av)..unplug and try to clean it...(sound silly but sometime its works hehehe)..replug back and check again...

vivaldi,

relax man...I had that once, I checked and found the AV cable was not plug properly bcos accidentally pulled out while dusting/cleaning.

so I got to see the ring of death and blue screen (TV)...

If no power from power brick, wouldnt the xbox 360 lighted up at all?...

check connections (for some electrical devices), even slight disconnection cause this if I'm not wrong.

Dont worry lah kawan. Put your brick between a shoebox or something, also heard if you lay your 360 flat gives better ventilation than standing up. Just remember 4 red lights A OK , Three red lights a little to worry, two red lights annoying and one red light RIP 360.

Shoe box FTW Ever since I got my 360 I have always put my powerbrick on a shoe box. Even on the ground I haven't had problems but I like to keep on the safe side

...ahhhh! still the same....When I plug in the NYKO intercooler.. can hear the FAN running slow...I plug out the fan n join direct... same red light on power brick again.... dunno whether is the stepdown or power brick problem since mine is Jap set.

did u off ur powerbrick for 1 hr?

one red light R.I.P 360??why?i always thought the 3 red lights were the worst

No friend one is far by the worst. Means a complete hardware failure. Not even switching off the system can fix it. Its rare nowadays launch sytems had plenty. But it still can happen. Screen freezes, game hanged all the worst failures the 360 has all rolled in one major problem. Just remember guys one red light forget fixing it yourselves call the pros..

I thought 1 red light had got to do with HD or DVD-Rom or AV cable? anyway 360 console is like a time bomb ...

i read somewhere in xbox forums some claimed that 360 console is what they called beta-testing..till new version will come out..wow.. rumor..rumor

haaar?really ah?coz if i recall properly 3 red lights in the ring was indication that some "serious shyte" is happening to ur 360. Read it sumwhere in this forum and heres another forum with error codes.Error codes

You are right but one red light makes you go into a corner cry and then prey that your 360 will not go KA BOOM or something.

As I said 1 red light is a rare occurence nowadays but the fact that anything can happen is quite scary indeed. link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907536

I dunno about you guys but I wish and prey every night that my 360 dont go kaput on me...

I know i sound crazy but I love my 360.

My friend recently got his 360 which was an old launch 360 way back in November. He didnt know that, soon he got one red light and explained to him to return it IMMEDIATELY. He did and got a new one, a week later. He and I continuosly hound one another about the true identity of Master Chief. I still say he's Hulk Hogan's descendant...

just buy a new set of xbox 360 lah....

ok..joke aside.
try unplugging everything and plug bug.
these happen to me before when I first got my replacement set.
later found out, the power cable did not contact fully....pheww!

probably yours the same...likely your Xbox has shifted abit that may cause some loose connection.

hope it is ok.

cheers!

Already unplugged and fix back everythin, check everythin and no loose cable, but still when i try to turn it on, the brick red light appeared!! If i takeout my Intercooler, then the Xbox360 will flash a yellow ring then the brick light turn from orange to red....

Feel so sad couldn't smell the scent of the lobby of BoCH now

*wrong post*

Nyko cooler kill X360!!

vivaldi,

bring it to my house tonight. we try it out whether is the power brick problem or the console itself giving problems.

hope it's just stepdown adapter or power brick problem.....

Thomas , we BoCH await your returns

p/s: told u, dont change your gamerpicture,see wat happened now

This post has been edited by wcliang: Sep 1 2006, 10:55 AM

wah.. change gamer picture hence break down on power supply ?

Your Xbox also celebrate national day....MERDEKA! MERDEKA!....

maybe u would like to call SG xbox hotline 8004481330 (i think must add 065)
but warning may take some time for them to respond..(hotline mah)

Dont cha wish your 360 was hot like mine
Dont cha wish your 360 was a freak like mine
Dont cha, dont cha

maybe the intercooler too cool for it..i use normal table fan if it gets to hot..

^ Lolness.. Don'cha song..

hangpa semua apa da.. itu xbox rosak is serious matter u know. to some people it is the end of the world. relax bro. we pray for your xbox 360.

guys,

confirmed his power brick giving him problem. tested his console with mine power brick and also tested his power brick with mine stepdown unit. confirmed his power brick giving problem.

....and Thomassux is safe

Ok guys.... my 360.. SAFE!!! now where can I find the replacement for power brick...Arrrggg... PA don't have it...hmm.. hopefully ajak willing to sell his brick......

i think the power brick abit hard to find. asked Firdaus today, he said SG also didn't sell it.

worst come to worst, you can ask godspeed (IIRC) to mod PC PSU to replace the power brick.

Haih... most probably is caused by the intercooler.. coz b4 all these happen... few days ago... the cooler was like having some weird noise.... more like cannot run smoothly... i thought mayb due to dust.....haih... i oso dunno la....

The dun put the intercooler lor ... last time i know Judge-The also did not put the Intercooler caused it giving some problems to his Xbox360.

vivaldi,

just ugpm you

If it is because of the intercooler, that would make your 360 the xth 360 (forgot how many 360's with intercooler break down already. I'm sure it's more than 2 though) to break down with an intercooler.

Aren't the intercoolers meant to prolong console lifespan? Not shorten it...

there is a lot of news said that the nyko intercooler will make disco light on your xbox 360.

as you can see here. the victim

bro vivaldi...sorry to hear bout ur power brick....yup i have one for sale....just let me know if u want it...

maybe the intercooler sucking up too much power supply from what the console/power brick can handle?

so, is there anyone here still using the intercooler and running the box for like 5 hours everyday?

im still using it for 5-6 hours straight when i have time to play eventho sometimes it makes horrible n worrying sounds...dunno whether to stop using it or not ??what do u guys think ?

well i stop using intercooler already. it kept on messing with my 360. soemtimes it make my 360 hang... then sometimes my 360 refused to boot up after i unplug/replug the intercooler.

friends tell me nyko intercooler will cause problem to xbox 360 due to huge power consumption. i do not know. am not using any. but i think the table fan is the best way to cool down our xbox 360.

er. suck up power ? there is only 3 fans .. which each fan take 12v. don't think is too much "power kua"

try don't use it la~. the heatsink inside can stand the heat.. don't worry about that la.

I was already having doubts about the intercooler in the first place. Good thing I didn't waste my money on one in Singapore. Anyway, good ventilation + any kind of fan + air con = no disco lights as boss Djinn says

dude i think me and judge do have the same problem ....... now the cooler is seperated from my xbox360

me currently using USB fan is enough (fan power is underneath the xbox 360 in vertical mode)

intercooler already put aside already.

as everybody knows. next mission.... Water Cooler heheheh

wah so many ppl lost hope with their intercooler already kah... well including me too...

aiyaa takan mau beli lagi satu cooler waaa.... djin the vertical coooler is it any good it taps its power from usb ke?????

Or better yet instead of using the intercooler. Get the biggest most powerful standfan ever created by man.

JK JK

But seriously everybody has a different aspect on the intercooler. Some love it, while some loathe it.

Just remember Nyko arent the only ones with a cooler for the 360

Be like ... i was late for the Intercooler bulk order .. so nowadays .. im using 2 fans both side blowing my precious console.

dude my problem just got bigger the red light flash from yesterday night till now i dont think the cooler got todo ith it man .....mcm m mane nieee.... no signal what so ever to the lcd ..just plain black screen and a teryfying 3 red light waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

check ur error code...u tau nak buat macamana kan?

orait pm ajak go to his place and open that box...

ajakkkkkkkkk...... help meeeeeeee .....ajakkkkk

et tu..Kabadi84?...

bro ajak... can i come along also? i'll force bro pop come together with me too

this week try to buy screwdriver so i can take out that heatsink...currently i just leave my 360 open like that (witout case) hahaha...then later try to put thermal (arctic silver 5 ke )and see how...

wah you all so much go gangbang 1 x360 ar.. wtf man.. kesian

Well.. for the time being... I think my problem was solved by changing the power brick... thx goodspeed!!!!

But.... now my 360 seems to be quiet... too quiet!!! & it will be real heat up after on for 2-3 hours....even though in aircond room...scary...scary...

Then dun play too long lor ... limit urself .. hehe like me. I play for 2 hours and i take rest ... use PC .. surf net and the after that play Xbox360 again.

i might have short term solution...today i kinda have crazy idea...since i already open up my 360 (but cant take out heatsink coz i don have right screwdriver) so been thinking why don i use normal fan to cold it down lol..(yeah u know table fan) then i 'tembak" (put it) it right above that heatsink CPU (cannot put on GPU since dvd-rom blocking it) well turn it on..can play like 10-15 mins lol..wow surprise...then its started to freeze again...then i off and put fan more to right..meaning i put on the side of that heatsink..full speed..then play PGR3 (normally i managed to play like 5 mins...then i keep on play..play..wow already 1 and half hour...till 2 hours then switch it off..kinda tired..just now i played PDZ till operation 5 non-stop..more than 2 hours..non-stop hmmm...strange..

i have photo to show it to u guys if u cant imagine what it look like..sorry picture kinda blur i dont have digital cam only webcam..later on try to play..more than 3 hours..heheh already 12 midnite..luckily tomorow off day for me..wish me luck

mmm.. did you put ur hand behind and see if the fan is blowing ???

i think it's best if you try with another power brick and see if it's the same quietness you get... if not i think u better stop and let me know asap

im using 500w stepdown.. is urs the same ?

eh bro...no need screwdriver la to open the heatsink...just grab a plyer then kopek open the hook one by one.....its very very hard to open that hook so be patience eh...nnt your board patah lg susah.... ..bte thermal compound yg aku gune was coolermaster nanofusion...same as arctic silver but if u can find arctic silver then oklah..aku da malas nak round lowyat da arituh..sume kedai takde huhu

bro ajak, high air cooler status at liksang is usually ships within 24 hours, nak test tak?

any link?

high speed air cooler

oh ya ke..dunno that..aku pun ingat nak pakai arctic silver 5 tu tapi so far okay plak my 360 wont freeze anymore..yesterday (i mean today morning) played like 4 hours PGR3 okay..then played PDZ still okay...heatsink also not so hot...i remember if my 360 freeze heatsink will be hot like reactor..lol..

maybe instead of using table fan wanna try this "Power Cooling System Vertical Stand" fan..since it will 'tembak' air from side of that heatsink...

This post has been edited by windows_sux: Sep 6 2006, 12:02 PM

er.. this one plug to where oh ?

i think u just replace it with old 360 fan (wow lampu biru)

hm. XCM clear Casing..

but need to open up xbox 360 wor.. hence voiding the warranty ..

This post has been edited by DjiNn: Sep 6 2006, 12:43 PM

yup thats the problem...for those really dont mind..open ajelah..

actually i prefer this kinda fan compare with NYKO Intercooler..

same as me as well~. just that I'm not too sure open up my xbox 360 ... yet.. still waiting when shop open~ Then I only open other xbox 360 unit hehehe

bro where will ya shop be located? give us some clue lah..hahaha...anyway i think that package come with tools to open it..i think so if i not mistaken lah.. ..my plan, if got money i wanna try water cooler..easy and not to worry much about heating problem anymore..

An alternative if you don't want to spend on overprice High Speed Air Cooler. My 2 cent opinion, this is much more better because it'll cool down the heat sink first like normal computer's CPU cooling unit does. And the rest of hot air being suck out with the stock Xbox360 fan.

Instead of table fan, why don't you get a 60mm x 60mm x 10mm fan to cool down your 'nuclear reactor' ? But you've to do a bit of cutting job to let it fit to your heatsink.


My work...using an old PS2 fan.

You'll find it hard to get these 60mm nowadays. Most of the shops sell 80mm to 120mm at Lowyat Plaza. The only way you can get this is from HDD cooler.

This one is alumunium, get the plactic one.

You can use 40mm (old pentium CPU cooler or chipset cooler) fan if you hate the cutting job.

An example how to fit 40mm to heatsink. BTW, I admire his mods
