I have sent my xbox to the marionet shop in bukit jambul for repair because of freezing issues..it's been almost a month now and i'm waiting for the console to be repaired..is it normal for it to be long to be repaired?

my x-box already 2 months. not getting it yet.i'm wonder why.

i guess its bcoz with all the holiday, should be faster

Usually.....normal repair takes 2~5 days if parts are available.

might be waiting for a replacement part.

for me i fix 1 console about 1 weeks. last time got 8 set so 2months loh.

Anyone can help? When i boot my xbox everything goes fine and i can play games for hours. But its just that, there are texture glitch where i can see white dots appear and disappear on the screen which is distracting like an oldies film from the 50s.

Iam using a falcon, havent really checked the wires/cables behind.

OMG! i always tot fixing takes about 2-4 days. Never realize it will be more than a weeks, is this for real?! you are talking about repairing 3Rod right?
First.. I always worried about the heat/RROD problem while playing (using falcon) and now, another problem appear, the fixing fees and time to wait for it to be fixed.. T_T

Um, after fixed, is there any chance to get RROD again? after how many month? 3-5?

no..its not 3rod..the console hangs after the splash screen..anybody here know why?

what method is used to repair?..x-clamp replacement?..i brought to tech2 for reballing..only takes 3 days

My 360 still displays the white dots which appear and disappear like the oldies movies. I don't put any external cooling fans.

it's the same as first RROD. nobody know's when it will strike again.

did the ring of light ever appeared red?

No, no rings at all. I can play games perfectly, just that the screen is kinda annoying. White dots appear and disappear every now and then. i think the gpu is fried. But thats just me, i dont know whatelse to think of.

might be sign of overheating or a bad GPU...... the GPU can be replaced with a price of course

How much is it?

Looks like for your case its like a symptom of 1rod coming soon. i had mine like that too, ya the screen is really
annoying. How long was ur machine anyway?? U can pm Virgil on this. He can fix the problem for u

How did you repair yours? How much is the method to fix it?

Come here and have a look. This guy got plenty of GPU to be replace.

no..i didn't use any coolers...i didn't do anything to the console..it just hanged..

You may refer to post #19

today I got a call from the shop ( after 1 month )informing that the problem is caused by 3 rod..he said it will cost me RM400 to repair the console and without warranty..what the !@#$ !..I asked the shop to return the console to me and I'll look at other shops..

Might as well go for reballing method at tech2's shop.

i have a zypher which is unrevivable i sent it to benard he says that canot be repaired i dismantle the console the mobo not flex whatsoever u guys here think that the GPU is dead?

If the shop you mentioned is with name ended with "2" then I can assure you, his method is far more better than any x-clamp solution.

If you wonder if it's the GPU, you can always ask Tech2 as you know they have plenty of GPU to be replaced.

should I proceed with the repair?

TECH2 gives 3 months warranty so no need to worry.
