Guys Im in need of serious help here my 360 which had suffered from the three red lights of death was sent to the repair shops but the guy said there was no spare parts availble to them so they cannot repair the 360. They also said that I could wait for six months for spare parts but im not that patient. So anyone in this forum can point me in the direction of a place that can guarantee a good shot at repairing my 360 will greatly be appreciated..

Guys my parents spent nearly RM1500 on the 360 I really want it to be repaired.
I know i sound kinda crazy right now showing emotion for a piece of tech but that thing was a gift.

I really feel terrible and very hurt inside (no joke really). Guys help me please.

Thanx,,,

i understand how u feel man.... 1.5K is a lot of money indeed

hopefully someone here (a 360 sifu) can help out... i myself dun even have one.

P/S: if ya dont mind me asking, how did the 3 blinking red lights happen in the first place?

oh so sorry to hear that..
I had that a few nites before, unplugged and plug back everything and its fine now.

why donch u go to the place you bought it from..

did u use the nyko intercooler with ur 360?

There was some renovation going on in my room so I took a couple of blakets and covered it over my 360. Guess there were some sendiments of sand and dust got into the system. My fault, i assumed that all that stuff covering it would be enough,i guessed wrong.

Well theres a story to that...You know COD2 right? Well I bought a copy from there and it was the US version which could not work on Asian consoles but the guy persisted that it could and claims that I was cheating him. We had a real bad falling out and well my mom who was there vowed never to return to that store again even though I got a refund. Each time I pass that store i have to calook awy so the guy doesnt see me. Well funny how things like this can bite you back hard.

No no after the things I heard on this forum i didnt buy it.

err.. one question.. you covered your 360.. did you cover your power brick?

I really feel sorry for you man....really do but

be patient and relay everything that happened and go into detail....tell us as much as possible...the guys here can definitely help you if they have as much info as possible. I on the other hand am a newbie but one thing I know you aint going to get more friendly help then the guys here on the forum......just go into more details as to what happened before and after.

One way maybe can open up the 360, use compressed air or something to clean the board.

you can try removing all the cables (i mean everything) ... and replugging all again....

also remember to run without the HDD... sometimes the HDD may cause the ring of death...

make sure the power brick shows green when you turn on your console and orange when not turned on....

did u cover ur 360 wit blankets while playing or whn its off?

cos if u cover wit blankets while playing.. i dnt think there's enuff ventilation going out of it.. poor airflow..

oh, & dnt cover ur power brick wit blankets as it gets really hot..

yeah, mine went kaput coz of my power brick. after replacing it, it went fine. the way to diagnose my problem is, when the console is turned on, the power brick's led is still orange in color, instead of green

Maybe thats the way to fix it. But Im worried that the dust could have lead to something worse like hardware error or something..

I didnt even play it when the room was under renovation. The fine dust must have got into the system.

If all these home remedies don't work, then call up Microsoft hotline and exercise your warranty. It may involve returning your console to Singapore. Anyway, that's worst case scenario but there is still hope.

Hey guys. Another development. Took my 360 to another repair shop. But the guy isnt an expert with the 360 . But he promises he'll try his very best and will reimburse me for any damages caused.

So wish me luck guys.


PS- I know the risks involved in this guy but my options are down to this. Once again.....

"PRAY FOR ME"

May the side of XBOX's be with you...

Errr... how would you know he caused the damages in the first place?
