Eh, mine 3RODed as well after my house power failured a few weeks back.
Had a bit of a shock.
Switched it off, waited a bit then switched it on. Everything's fine now.

verced....why dun ask the shop that u bought from to help u on this......

Dat's what ive experienced juz nw..Zephro whn is ur xbox manufac date?

Damn scared nw..

How do you check the date? I dunno how, lol.

bro zc_squash,
since yours no longer under warranty then just send it to bro tot31 or metalgrindsolid. for your information, bro tot is staying in setapak area and bro metalgrindsolid is in serdang area.

bro verced,
my advise to you send back to SG for a replacement because yours still under warranty. find a way and get someone in SG to make that call and file a report on your behalf.

It's behind the console.... aptly labeled as MFR Date : YYYY - MM - DD

Eisen, sorry about earlier. The machine crapped out on me.

It still managed to boot up if I left it for a while. If it's overheating, it should be showing something else instead of 0102 right? Weird.

Bought it from Bernard. Kena 250. And from what I see, it will take forever before I get the thing back. Leenaz been waiting for almost 1.5 months now, still no news. I will try and sort it out first, if still cannot, I'll have to fork out 250 and wait for god knows how long.

How's PS3 btw? Any good games coming?

Oh no..Mine same manufac date as Verced..Damn..But mine same as Zephro problem..So rite now dunno wat to do..

So juz nw whn u play Gears the console show 3ROD again?

Didn't even have the chance to play lar. Just hoping for the best earlier since I can still turn it on and GeoWars is not taxing enough to crash it. GOW managed to do it right after the loading's done.

Don't need to worry so much lar... it's still under warranty anyways. It's just annoying that I'm going to waste 1 month + of Live. First it was the stupid Streamyx, took em 2 weeks to reinstall a line. Now this. Life's good.

Mine can play..lucky..Managed to play some Execution games...

Yeap i experienced it myself few months back but so far still no problem and hopefully it stays that way.

Mine's older. 2006 - 8 - 16. I think mine is even more vulnerable.

Anyway, my console started to show some 3ROD hints... or is it? Whenever i'm logged onto a multiplayer game of GRAW2, the loading screen will freeze and the music stop playing, literally "hang". I've had to force restart my console since i don't know if there's any ctrl+alt+del button for 360. But such event is only limited to playing GRAW2's multiplayer session. Is it a hint of 3ROD? disc problem? game error? or DVD-player error? I'm just worrying that i've force restart in such a manner for numerous times already...

Suggestion: i think we should post a permanent pinned 3ROD issue thread at here.

Your issue sometimes can be rectified by clearing your HDD cache. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/09/xbox-360...ode-discovered/

The code will clear all the updates for your games. Saved games and any other contents will remain intact.

Try it and see how it goes.

UPDATES

OK, I managed to find someone to contact Xbox SG for me, and he was asked to do the standard troubleshooting steps, like 'Check the light on the power adaptor' and reseating all the cables you can see from the back of your xbox.

Once my friend mentioned that there's 3ROD and the light on the power adapter's green, the issue a replacement there and then. [Maybe you guys can start here to save the hassle]

They require 10 business days to process premium units [5 for core ], so I can only pick it up on May 7th. They also requested for a receipt.

Did they asked for any receipts when you guys go and pick it up?

So the 3ROD dat was caused by electrical failures..Iz it a sign dat 3RoD is coming?

Bro, stop worrying and go join your buddies on gear of wars or something.

ENJOY!!!!! While it lasts.... heehehhehehe

Pls Educate me. What sort of software updates will be cleared? does it mean this will include the game's updates as well? If so, will i have to re-download the updates again?

Yeap, basically it will clear all the caches + game updates. Once you popped in your game, you will see the update screen. Game updates won't take long to download anyways. Once that's done, just try out whatever that you're having problem with. Hopefully that will fix it.

Btw Verced, is your 3RODed console still under warranty term? Anyhoo, how long is the warranty by MS anyway?

Yeap, still under warranty. It's barely 3 months old [or 6 months old from the manufacturing date].

All Xbox's comes with 1 year warranty from Microsoft. Accessories, 90 days. Pretty standard stuff I guess.

My manufacturing date is 2006 - 8 - 16 as well.
Uh oh.

yep gonna send to him if the technician couldnt fix it. the thing is you guys sure the ROD is coming eh? i've tried many times restarting but it is not coming...hehehe.... bloody 360 acting like a b****.
