xbox 360 problem :(

[Scouse]

I got a Xbox 360 today for my brithday I set it all up to play it and 3 red lights came up on the power buttun? I read the manual and it didnt say anything about 3 red lights but about 2/4 etc and it said all other paterns is an internal problem and to contact customer support so have Asda sold me a faulty Xbox or can it be fixed?? I'm gutted :( rep+ to people that help

Just contact customer support, should be a number in the manual, if you have warrenty then it's free and you just send them it and they'll either send a new one back or fix it, if no warrenty you have to pay like £80 or something for a repair

I cba waiting for them to send me a new one, might aswell take it back the shop rep+ anyway

You could do that but I'm not sure if they'll take it back, they might who knows xD you did set it up and it was faulty so it's not your fault

Don't take it back yet, try this: http://uk.gamespot.com/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=24054545

If it doesnt work you could always try this:

(don't really do the 2nd one, might just make it worse)

my mate's had it happen twice, take it back to the shop and they should just replace it.

[alexxxxx]

They have to take it back, cause they've sold you faulty goods. They don't have a 'choice.'

[Scouse]

I took it back but they didnt have any others to give me so I got my money back & went to PC world where my sister works and got discount, got it for 260 with a game and other things :)

That's what you get for buying a Microsoft system :)

Anyway, your best bet is probably trying to get ahold of customer support, because there's no point in keeping the broken system really. Even if it does start working, the thing could be bugged, & better to get it replaced now before your warranty expires and it starts acting up on you.

If you was smart you'd probably turn the xbox off first :P
