Anyone knows what's wrong with my 360? :(
« on: December 11, 2008, 08:26:01 AM »
Whenever I turn it on it sounds like a jet engine then it shuts off like 5 seconds later and I get two flashing red lights. I was playing Dead Space on Sunday night the first time this happened. :'(

I should be really pissed, but finals are coming up so I don't have much time to play it anyway.

Overheating probably,maybe the fans are not working properly.Did you get any graphical corruption on screen or just black screen?

It goes to the startup screen, sometimes it manages to get to the dashboard, then it just shuts off and I get a black screen.

Two red lights = overheating.

But this happens as soon as I turn on my 360. My 360 was on for like 10-15 minutes the first time this happened.

Well it shuts down as a security measure prior to it actually overheating. I'd wager the temperature sensor is borked; sees the temperature as entirely too high, sets off the fan, and upon seeing no change shuts down the 360.

If the 360 is cold and fans are not working it will overheat within 2-3 minutes in dashboard.

Quick solution would be to overheat it using towel trick,if it helps RROD got just delayed,if not something else is wrong.

I'd try and fuck it up more so you get 3 red rings so you don't have to pay to fix it.

Smh, the site shows that this shit is still under warranty, so I'm just gonna send it back to get fixed. I already requested a coffin.
