Xbox 360 broken?

Question

I love my 360

I play it most of the time

Then, one day, I turned it on and 3 red lights appear.

Is it broken?

Im so mad!

My brother wants to get xbox live

And when he realizes that the 360 isn't working

He's gonna blame me cause I play it most of the time!

Is it broken?

What do I do?!

Answer 1

You get a Ps3, they don’t blow up

Answer 2

Ok, the red lights happen to my xbox also. If everything still works though it should be fine. I only say that it might still work because the red lights only mean something in the hard-drive failed. The failure could be anything from the smallest to the biggest problem. Mine usually doesn't turn red if I turn it on with the controller, so try that.

P.S. Microsoft kinda really messed up, almost half the ppl I know with xbox360's have the same problem!

Answer 3

not your fault at all mate xbox live has a common fault its called the ring of death basicllyit sounds like the motherboard has gone so im afraid you will have to face big bro coz he needs to ring microsoft number in back of instructions book they will tell you to put it in a plain box and send you some address labels then a couple of days later they will send a ups guy out to collect it take it back to microsoft it will get repaired and sent back to youhope its still in gaurentee?!please dont think yeah right ya a woman what do you know coz

we have had our 360 for about 18months and its been back 3 times we lie now and say we were told the gaurentee was extended coz of probs we been having good luck telling big bro but honest its a VERY common problem with the 360 crappy design fault x fingers crossed for you x

Answer 4

yeah its broken. The sodering that keeps the connections together is cracking and shifting. It had just happned to mine and is covered in a three year warranty. You call 1-800-4-myxbox and run through some troubleshooting which never works, then they send you a box you put your xbox in it send it to them, and get it back fixed in 2 to 3 weeks. It's nobodys fault but xboxs for making the internal network connections S****y.

it's called the three rings of death
