Holy cow! Several people in LYN has been affected already

Was just thinking of getting a 360 myself, but now thinking twice

TS, try THIS

Yeah, I already said, Error code 0110 That information is propagated throughout the 360 sites over the net, so it wasn't too hard to find... considering I'm on page 13 on Google search right now!

So sad to hear that bro ... where u got it from ?? Djinn shop ??

Btw, error 0110 is caused due to memory overheating ... u might have a faulty or damage HDD, just change it and ur Xbox360 will work fine, but dun take my word for it, i might be wrong. Best thing to do now ... is to check with Djinn ASAP.

Error 0110 is also known as the unknown error, the 360 doesn't know whats wrong. I removed the HDD and all too, doesn't work.

Where did u buy it from bro ??. Right now, the best solution is let ur Xbox360 rest and try to sleep, later on it back and see if its back to normal.

I've let it rest for 5 hours, still the same so far. I bought it at the store in 1U where Djinn use to work last time, Dream Games.

Like dat ar ... then u have to PM Metalgrindsolid and ask him to check for u. He is currently the best technical guy I know when it comes to Xbox360 3ROD.

Where u got it from? Djinn? if yes u should pass to him ASAP

He said he got it from a store at 1U where Djinn used to work last time called Dream Games ... the problem is Djinn works at Gamester Direct right.

Send it back to the shop. That's the best thing to do i think

djinn used to work in Gamester.

yes, send it back to that shop and claim warranty

Sad to hear that bro. I guess the best thing to do is send back to the shop? Otherwise seek help from Metalgrindsolid who got a very good reputation here, as a xb360 saint!

btw, drink more water

Less than a month! How come u bought the console with April manufacturing date. Older stock? Prior May stock are popular due to easier for modding. Probably a used item who once was broken and sold to u?

I bought mine on September and had a March 2006 manufaturing date...
Mine is fine and running like cool....hmmmm.....

Sheesh mine also died, sent to Djinn yesterday dee.

OMFG! no wonder i didn't see u online

i just dont get it lah... thought msoft said after april 2006's manufacturing date, no more 3ROD? ppl's confidence getting less and less already on 360

YEah it sucks dude. Not the HDD or the power supply, so gotta be some ovrheating problems....darn it

you need to send back to gamester direct. which you already contact raymond right ?


hard to say~ it could be bad luck. Yesterday I want to sell xbox 360.. instead I cannot sync any controller to the xbox 360 ...

will let you know once if things can be fix.

Thanks bro.

will it be certain games causing the console overheating?

well, it can be~. but if this is the major problem.. then a lot of xbox 360 also kaput already.

Wish u best of luck in the repair process bro...

By the way, anybody selling their 360? PM me please

you're not alone in this misfortune. got mine 3 weeks ago as well and this afternoon when i tried to on it, the 3 red rings of death appeared. i've played accordingly within the timeframe of max 3 hours at one time and still this happened. bought mine in imbi.

According to rumors as reported by XBOX Scene website, Dead Rising caused a couple of XBOX 360s to show the ring of death, I guess if the game really pushes the console to its limits, I'm pretty sure that the operating temperature will be much higher since it is working under load.

looks like i've to buy a new 360,
mine currently is giving bro metalgrind a hard time fixing..ONLY MINE!!
the stupid 3ROD keep coming back after a few minutes..
what on earth hav i done to deserve this?
ai...i just bought GOW and waiting happily for my 360 to come back but seems that now i may not be able to play it..
jealous u guys la...

XP750,
mine the same case as u. my console is with bro metalgrindsolid now. hope he can fix it else i'll have to let her go

3rod victims, where do you keep your 360? cabinet?

Before or after 3ROD?

I kept mine in one of those hi-fi stacking racks. the roomed is air-conditioned when I'm playing it, and the ventilation is good. Nothing blocking my 360 so the circulation should be good. For god's sake, mine is only 3 weeks old! at least i can say that i've managed to finished my GOW b4 this happened.

Mine on top of the IKEA Jerker table. Aircond on, fan also on

What about your power bricks?(what's the proper name? lol) Mobius put his suspended on an old shoe box(my shoe box ) and so far it hadn't 3 ROD once, only frozen a couple of times in the guide button menus.

So one cable on left side of box and another on right side, so the brick is suspended.

my power brick is right next to my xbox360 unit getting cold air

Try the (un)guaranteed working shoe box method.

show me pics 1st

hmm then what in the world causes the melt down??!?!

it might because of the on board temp controller faulty? due to that your fans won't spin it in full speed if the cpu/gpu gets hotter?

this is what i can think of at the moment for causing the melt down.

LOL Dunno if can get to PC but lemme try...

I took photo using phone but cannot transfer to PC o.O

Xeos,

Sorry to hear about your 360 pass it to Raymond maybe he help you on it. Take it easy mate

This is how I ventilate mine

I brick is next to a fan, blowing air at No.2 speed.

I'm seeing kinda pointless ways that seems to waste electricity
XENOFR3AK!

nerd's one is kinda like mine, no extra accessories, just good positioning.

Im paying for the 1/2 of my electic bill .. so I really do not care much

hm...actually i dunno if its my maid to be blamed...
caught her once wiping my 360 n brick once with a wet cloth...means that she has been doing this all the while...terus ask her not to ever touch my 360.
i've another case, i want to know if u guys have ever experience this
when my 360 is on, i'll get an electric shock when i touch the side metal part of the HDD, means my 360 lari electric, i've to ground myself to get shock..if i'm standing on the carpet nothing wll happen.

Maybe the water that was in the wet cloth that may have gone into the hard drive short-circuited the system?

Seems like a good explanation. That's why it's bad to have maids unless you can't tell a detergent from a sunlight washing soap.

how about mod the fan to always spin at top speed?

yeah..that's wat i was thinking too...
not sure if it is the cause of my 3 rod..

all your guys xperient really make me worried now i need to keep my room
aircond and fan on while i go out for date since i always keep the xbox on downloding. hope i wont xperient what u guys face. May God Protect her

Hope for the best for u guys out there...just found this video clip about someone smacking the underside of the 360 which face the 3ROD.

OMG .. i would not dare to that.

I'm getting one tomorrow and all these stories really scares me. ..... but what the heck if anything happens...just repair it myself...

er.. isn't that a shoe rack ?

this only happens if u buy modded 1 (just kidding)

may the force with you and please don't buy the modded console.

true, better avoid the modded console. will give you headache more than gaming. like can't play GoW at all.

I'm buying an unmodded one but will mod it myself. . I'm getting 3 ori games i.e GoW, DOA4 and RR6.

than happens to my 360 once in a while. i found out that that voltage is actually coming from my TV, it electrocutes everything.. the AV amp, subwoofer, astro, my 360... i need a new TV, this one's 10 years plus already

Those of you yang Guna Aircond while playing 360, do you aware of condensation? Might be itu yang bikin masalah.

a good video but not all 3 ROD can be done via fix like that some smack also no use~..

ventilation/air flow/power supply problems affecting your gadgets?

check out;


my prayers goes to his gadgets

Oh my god. I'm going to buy one soon from Djinn next January and this Ring of Death happens. Damn! Perhaps the next year's batch will be a better one?

just buy it, then u know your luck

I think for the shock when u touch it caused by ground cable not placed well.

true for PCs, but my TV, AV amp, dvd player, xb360, all tadak ground wan

Hi everyone, just to update ... I got my 360 replaced, I had to shell a couple of hundred but it's all good now. Had a near 45 minute negotiation phase with the boss.

If you're planning on purchasing a 360, please for the love of all that's holy, buy it from Gamer's Hideout. Any problem: they will take care of their customers - that's what a game retail shop should be. Retail + Community. They do it fast too.

Saw u online yesterday, good to have u back.

Why on earth do u have to pay them? It was supposed to be their responsibility to claim for u warranty and ur console was only a 18 day old console

Nevertheless, u are back

true y u pay extra money its under warranty

Welcome back Xeos ... great to see ur Xbox360 has been replace with a new one.

There's no warranty in Malaysia. In Singapore you get 1-1 exchange immediately, over here you don't. If I give it to them, it will be pending, and I heard they do it really slow (One guy waited for over 6 months, and the boss made him pay 700 to get a new one). Over at Gamer's Hideout, Eddie has done it in a month - big difference isn't it ? I don't understand why does it take them so long - there's alot of 360's pending in their list.

Btw, thanks alot guys =) Glad to be back.

DANG!!

Yo gopala, any Idea where we can get them watercooling system?

This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Dec 1 2006, 06:39 PM

Bit of a jam in Sabah, if the retail shop in Sabah buys their 360's from Singapore, then it will also be a problem when you face problems. Even if you buy it a GH, you'd have to send it back if there's a problem.

arlo.. doens't mean watercooling system will save your xbox 360 la~. that one I can say its consider hardcore case modding only...

if spoil then how ? you already open up the xbox 360.. tampered the MS warranty.. then how to send back oh ?

Good to hear that bro.
I just setup my Xbox to go online.
Will probably subscribe to gold once I get my hands on that Ambank thingy

where did u get it replaced from? MS? if so, whats the procedure?

Who knows, it might be worser if Microsoft wants to reduce the cost of production in order to lower the prices of their consoles. Instead of 3 RODs, you might get 4 next year.

My 5 day old X-Box 360 developed the 3ROD. Brought it back to Gamer's Hideout. Had the set swapped 1-to-1. No hassle, no more 3ROD, happy customer.

This is how things should be. If the end-user is assured of prompt and complete rectification of any problems that occur as a result of a manufacturing defect during the warranty period; there is no worries in purchasing: Hence more buyers.

Djinn, if only more retailers are as professional as you are....

well done to GH! i doubt any other shops especially those in sg wang can do the same because 1 of our own forumer bought his 360 from wegamaju, sg wang got lies and more lies from that shop after his 360 kena 3ROD.

wow MacD, i didn't know ur set kena 3ROD

hope all things will go well now

Works fine now. Optical drive is noisier than the first 360 but heck, combined with the noise generated by GOW/GRAW... I can live with that...

if a 5-day/18-day old box can get unknown 3ROD error, can u imagine what happens when the 360 celebrates its 1st, 2nd or 3rd birthday? maybe this is MS strategy against modchip & modding?

servicing xbox360s is gonna more lucrative industry than selling games if it reaches an installed base of 30 million or more

^ do rmb not to tamper with the warranty sticker. when buying an virgin set, remove the faceplate to check at shop

Question: What games were you guys playing when the ROD showed up ??

So far from the post here... some say Read Rising but dont all games push the system to its best capacity ??

xbox seems like it has a lot pf problems >_< ..

are this xbox modded or not ??

I mean for me, i bought my xbox from singapore, brought it back, so far so good. >_<

im kinda worried for mine, i dont want to experience the 3rod T_T

Since the XBox 360 has not officially been brought into Malaysia, sets sold locally have to be parallel imports. This is usually from Singapore and therefore the warranty is from MS Singapore. If you bring it in yourself, then you won't be able to go through a Malaysian dealer for a warranty claim. Generally what happens is the dealer will arrange for the set to make the trip back to Singapore and facilitate your RMA process.

Some dealers (eg. Gamer's Hideout) have a policy for one-on-one replacement (subject to availability of the replacement set I presume) for the first month.

I think this is a fair system and certainly given that the 3ROD (i.e. hardware faults) is hardly a rare occurence is a very GOOD reason to buy from a local retailer with a good reputation.
