Official 360 Problems

Re: Official 360 Problems

Dang, that stinks Victor. I was expecting something like that, but to my suprise, everyone has been extremely helpful, and took care of me better than I ever expected... I was ecstatic when I got the 360 back yesterday, and it was a brand new one. I just hope this one doesn't crap out.

Their service is indeed getting better, but it's a work in progress. I got my 360 at launch and it died about 3 weeks later. At that time they were swamped with defective consoles, it was a zoo. I was getting different anwsers everytime I called, it got kinda frustrating. But in the end, I got a working console back and ultimately that is the goal. Can't complain too much, just wish it was done in a more timely fashion.

Since it wasn't that long after launch, I imagine that MS didn't have that many consoles produced to replace all of the defective units that were getting sent back.

Well, at least I hope that's the reason it took so long...

Re: Official 360 Problems

I'm sure it is Sully... I've been over on the xbox forums, and seems like the turnaround time has gotten better, and for most everyone it is only 5-7 days max... that's not bad at all. I hope you get a new one as well...

Re: Official 360 Problems

I 'm not sure if I should be concered, but everytime I play FNR3 the system runs very loud, All other games seem to to be fine. I mean it's not causeing the system to screw up or anything, and plus it just happens when playing FNR3, should I be worried or just play the system unitl it dies, I mean I have no lock up's or any red lights, so I think I'm good,\. I just don't like the sound I hear when playing FN, I looked at the disk itself and there no one sracth. What do you guys think.

Re: Official 360 Problems

Call them, and ask for a box. At least you have it handy if it craps out on you. That way you save yourself waiting a couple days for it, but like Will said, you're probably safe.

It's loud on my 360 too. The drive seems to be spinning really hard.

I thought of doing what Sully stated and getting a box just in case I had to send it back.

It's weird.

Re: Official 360 Problems

The Box is only valid for a certain amount of time I think. I think for around 30 days... I'm not positive though...

Re: Official 360 Problems

I am now having my first problem. I am playing a game and all the sudden, the TV screen goes blank. The system is running fine (no red lights or anything). So I think a cable wire popped out, but nope. I have no idea what happened. So I shut the 360 off and turn it back on and the game boots up fine. I play for about another hour without a problem. Then today, the same thing happens. I have no idea what's going on. The system is running fine, all wires are connected, but the TV screen just keeps going black. Anyone else have this happen?

Re: Official 360 Problems

I believe if your system is having a A/V problem it will trigger the red lights, maybe there is something wrong with the T.V.

Re: Official 360 Problems

Re: Official 360 Problems

You could do this:

Go to your dashboard
go on the bottom and hit "eject CD"

Just so you dont have to press hard on the tray anymore..
