My Christmas Present = RROD

Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later, but on Christmas Day? Really? I went to fire up my 360 for some Holiday Gaming and what do I find but Christmas Cheer in the form of the Dreaded Red Ring of Death. My first and only 360 has finally kicked the bucket. No new games for me for 3 - 4 weeks.  Looks like I will get some time to catch up on my classic gaming. Good thing I have multiple systems to toy with.

 

Oh well, Merry Christmas to all (except me that is).

I feel your pain, I've killed mine around thanksgiving two years in a row. Any other failure and a fix it yourself approach would make sense, but with the RRoD, the best approach is to ship it back and get it fixed, then sell it to gamestop and buy a new Jasper. :) (well that last part is optional)

check out my video in off topic forum about fixing the red ring of death. I did it and it worked. Only cost $5 and took 1 hour. I got the bolts and washers and home depot and the thermospaste at radio shack.

My 360 died 10 days before Christmas. I was majorly upset that I would be without mine over the holiday. But on the bright side, it was an original launch 360 and it lasted for a good while before it RROD'd. Here's to hoping it comes back to you soon!
