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,,, notworthy.gif

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

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?

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.

oh so sorry to hear that.. sad.gif
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..
*
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.

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

[/quote]

Yeah I did. Everything covered from the brick to the console itself
[quote=MK84,Oct 16 2006, 02:49 PM]
One way maybe can open up the 360, use compressed air or something to clean the board.

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

[quote=goodspeed,Oct 16 2006, 02:59 PM]
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...
Nah I tried everything in the book. Do not want to do something like take it apart myself

[quote=huss_wuss,Oct 16 2006, 03:38 PM]
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..

[/quote]

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

Hey guys. Another development. Took my 360 to another repair shop. But the guy isnt an expert with the 360 shakehead.gif . 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.....

WEGAMAJU?? Hmmm never heard of them...Come to think of it I dont exactly memorize the names of the shops there. Some cheay you for all you are worth while the select few will treat you with respect as an avid gamer.

One more thing who is this Indian guy that can speak cantonese? seems hes quite hated here at LYN.

Actually, yes, he's rude most of the time.

Based on my experience he'll also try and cheat you by quoting one price and then telling you you need this adapter, that accessory, etc etc. If you question him too much he'll have this really sucky look on his face.

So yeah, that's why people are pissed off at him. Hey maybe you're HIM!  drool.gif

Where got???

Im me. A simple gamer wishing his 360 well. <sigh> whistling.gif

Hey bros!!!

Long time i posted anything here but i got an update.

One of my fans in the 360 went nuclear on me. So the guy said he will fix it as soon as he gets the spare parts which will take quite a while. But on the bright side progress has been made.

So once again "PREY FOR ME MY FELLOW 360ers

AND SOON WE TOGETHER WILL CARVE A BLOODY PATH THROUGH

GEARS OF WAR"

Bwahahaha jk notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

3ROD got nothing to do with chip lah. i thought that day you said the shop guy told you 1 fan broken must order 1 new fan replacement and why today need to order chip? what chip? if you fan is broken just buy the XCM fan then settle already.

if i am not mistaken the most common 3ROD because of over heating and those thermal paste thing spilled over on your motherboard. i think you better check with bro metalgrindsolid. the longer you keep your 360 at the shop then the chance getting repaired very slim.

you sent to which shop? sorry no bad intention on yuor shop but you sure or not that shop got experience fixing 3ROD?

An electronics store in Ampang Park. The guy said he can fix but at this rate he wont instead he'll install a new mod chip at twice the price.

I dont knowlah but its a guess.

Besides where is metalgrindsolid's place anyhow if can i fix there

you must understand there is a huge difference between he can fix and he fixed before!
fixing normal xbox is different from fixing xbox360. i am not sure what modchip for 360 yet in the market because now all sg wang shops selling flashed dvdrom firmware so we can make conclusion no modchip yet. so why you still wanna wait for the modchip double charges cost?

like what bro silencer said... take back your 360 now! if you want metalgrindsolid's hp please call me at 03-89258058.

He has spare parts??? if so that would be cool.

It just died on me last night..mine is an unmodded japanese version. I haven't played anything yet last night. The screen was frozen for a while and then the damn light start appearing. I've tried everything, unplugged all the connection plus the harddrive and plugged them again but unsuccessful.
I'm gonna talk to my local retailer today to find out if they can repair it.
The worst thing is, I just received my GOW and COD3 today, damn I'm starting to cry already.
Anyway I'm from Langkawi. Gotta to run, thanks.

Friend I feel your grief and know how you feel....Listen you coming down to KL anytime soon? If so a forummer here by the metalgrindsolid maybe can help if he aint busy.
