Sorry I meant to put new, idk why I typed nice. Well if you know that for a fact, what's the issue? Send it off for repair, my friend sent hers off and it was back in a couple of weeks

yeah i found out with help from this thread, but i found out my warranty is over and it'll cost $125 to repair.

Its just annoying because prior to getting the RROD i honestly only played it like 20 times within 3 years... and it breaks ?
Anyways im gonna try the towel trick when i have time, and if not i'll think about gut swapping.

Anyone ever done it and has it worked? I figure its worth a shot

Is Microsoft seriously still having problems with this? Typical of rushed hardware. Thankfully mine hasn't had any problems in a few years, though that's likely due to lack of use.

And $125 to repair? I'm sure you could get a replacement cheaper then that at this point, at least used/refurbished.

Yeah exactly, makes no sence to send it in - and its annoying cuz i've used it like 20 times in 3 years... maybe like 30 minutes each time lmao


anyways my other post was about the sucess of the towel trick, if anyone has done it lemme know if it worked well ?

on the older xboxs they still do, but the newer ones are pretty much safe from the rrod now

i've done it on an old xbox, it worked for a few hours and just rrod'd again.

Go to your local electronics repair shop and they should fix it on the cheap, or at least know a guy who can do it.

I actually checked that out aswell - costs 50$ to do that will it never break again ? / Gut swapping is freeeeeee

Buy a new Xbox, bin or eBay the old one. Job done, stop moaning.
