I hate to be the one to say but yes it could have. i had my FIRST 360 for 2 months before i had to exchange for a new one. hard drive problems. one i would suggest seeing if you could exchange it where you bought it at and then invest in an intercooler fan for the back of it. that is an inexpensive way to protect your investment from the heat that kills them.

Xbox 360 controller blinks twice then shut off. Been trying to play old Xbox games but the controller will not blink more than two times.

This may mean that your console is suffering from a power problem here . If your console not receiving enough power it will turn off whatever is wireless to conserve the power to keep the console on. Make sure you are not plugged into any surge protectors or and any extension cords.
If the controller is only flashing twice and not connecting to your console If you are playing on your Xbox 360 you can turn the console off by holding the power button for about 10 seconds and once it is turned off you can unplug the Xbox 360 for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in and power it on.It could just be a bad controller then or the controller needs to have the battery pack in it be replaced.Or it is a broken controller.

There is a connect button on the controller as well. See this site or follow the instructions below. http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/get-started/console/connecting-game-controllers.aspx

  1. Turn on your console.
  2. Press and hold the Guide button on the controller until the controller turns on.
  3. Press and release the connect button on the console.
  4. Within 20 seconds, press and release the connect button on the controller.
  5. When the lights surrounding the power button on the console stop flashing, the controller is connected.

The lights keep blinking but nothing is happening. It wont connect to the console. What should I do?

It's possible the xbox 360 controller isn't connected to the xbox 360. Turn the xbox 360 on by pressing the power button, and wait until it reaches the dash board. Then press the controller syncing button on the xbox 360 itself and wait until the xbox 360's ring lights start to spin around. Then press and hold the synch button on the controller (located near the charge port) and the controller should synch up with the xbox 360.
