- MS received my console 19 Nov 07. I called on Monday 25th and they reported that it has been repaired and sent...should receive in 5 business days! Yay!! Thanx for all your help!

Jan 09, 2009

- I no longer have the ROD. I posted this back in 07. MS fixed it for free.

But now the darn thing gives a "non playable disc" error every once in awhile. @**%#!!

I went online and found a temporary fix for this because MS wants 99 bucks to repair @**%#!

I'm still mad-at-MS for selling junk!!

Anyone else have this prob?

If it's under warranty send in. If not determining an issue with the ROD is sometimes tricky. It can be a power issue, it could simply be that your power supply is bad.

Or it could be a GPU/CPU issue or RAM. You can also try removing the Hard Drive and booting that way.

Mine was out of warranty and got ring of death bout 2 months ago but saw a clip on you tube bout wrappin it in towels for 15 to 20 mins then let it cool for 15 mins i did and it is fine now.. what i think is you should every few weeks tap and blow out the dust that the fan sucks in... had no problems since...

3 red lights

Comment by Guest, posted on Nov 05, 2007

my console froze during game play then the 3 rings of death appeared it was a very discouraging sight, at first I thought this cant be happening, but then reality struck, it is happening, but then I thought microsoft just extended there warrenty for three full years so I called them they sent a prepaid box to my door with everything i needed to pack my beloved xbox they are currently making repairs and will be sending it back to me within 3 weeks, I know 3 weeks suck but at least its alot better than not playing games at all, so dont fear just send it in.
