Question

just froze for the 3rd time since ive got it. i got it back in february this year and it froze on me like 4 months after i got it while i was playing online and then froze on me last month while playing halo 3 again and just froze on me right now while playing madden 09 on franchise mode. it also has the falcon chip and should i be worried for the rrod

Answer 1

You're getting the precursor to RROD, you should send it in but it sounds like you opened your console (but don't know what a falcon is?!?!?!) so I don't think you can.

For future reference, the falcon is not a chip, but a complete motherboard revamp. There are 3 versions of falcon (I've gotten all of them) and the earliest has old heatsink with copper heatpipe, and with coloured "cheerios" the second is a strictly 100% aluminum heatsink with one colour cheerios, a greenish colour, and the third, with a 100% aluminum or heatpiped heatsink, with brown cloured cheerios.

Answer 2

unfortunately Falcon mother board is not RROD free its rate of failure is about 10% of course its better then the old ones the Zypher was like 95% rate failure

but if it starts freezing frequently then the RROD is sooner to hit

I'm really sorry to tell you that but its the truth thats why they have been working on the Jasper witch they assume it has a failure rate of 0.5% HOPEFULLY cause I had the RROD and fixed it my self and its back again after 5 months and now its completely Dead and I'm waiting for Jasper mother board witch should be out in late September

Answer 3

Answer 4

Just keep playing, you get the odd freeze every month.
