About a couple of weeks ago, I was playing COD4 on Xbox Live, when all of a sudden, The consoles fan started blowing like crazy, which caused two red lights to flash on my xbox and show nothing on my television screen,immediately turned it off. I waited two more days before playing again, but after those two days, my 360 still showed the two red lights after start up. So, one day, I decided to first take the COD4 disk out, and try again. It seemed to work, as my xbox 360 preformed normally and did not show any red lights, but as soon as I put a game disk back into my 360, the fans started blowing like crazy again, and caused the two red lights to appera. I tried starting up my xbox 360 with no game a second time, but just after about 10 minutes, the console overheated on its own. Now the time my 360 takes to overheat grows shorter and shorter every time I try to start it up. i've even tried doing what other people have told me, like not playing my 360 and letting it cool down for about a day, which I did the first time it overheated, but it didn't work. I once even let it cool down for four days, but it would still overheat after about 10 minutes. How do I fix this? can I send it to Gamestop for a repair? Does Microsfot's warranty cover this?

  1. microsoft


  2. Youtube "japan keeps me happy" and learn from it!

  3. you can send it back to microsoft for free and they'll give you either the same one with an added heatsink or a different box. Or if you want to fix it right away, you can open it up and remove the xclamps and also reapply some thermal paste if you want a quick fix. but that voids your warranty btw. =]
