I would hate to be the person who bought a used Xbox 360 at GameStop just to have it RRoD on them first boot...

Seth C said:With $5 of hardware from Home Depot you could have fixed it for good.
Relix said:The fourth one bit the dust. It was repaired back in November, lasted till the last days of August. So yeah, they have a mean-lasting time of 10 months with me :lol :lol :lol !!!!|
Gotta call support I guess

RROD: July 2, 2009
12V 16.5A ... I guess it's a Zephyr. I always thought it was a Falcon. No wonder it died.
Looks like the price drop is this weekend. Time to jump back in.
gimmmick said:Ok I'm a little confused in all of this.
I got the view / print label screen with the info for the ups shipping etc, but do I have to wait till microsoft sends me a box or do I just get a box from the ups store and send my console to them? My co worker told me that microsoft sends you a box and than you mail it too them.
Also, on the site it says my xbox is Out of Warranty. Am I fucked if it got RROD? ( I heard they extended it too 3 years?).
sionyboy said:MS no longer send you a box, you print out the label and attach it to your own box. Then drop it to the UPS depot, or you can arrange for them to come pick it up.
As for the site, it'll tell you if you are out of standard warranty (ie, 1yr all things covered) but you are still covered for 3 years for RROD/E74.
expy said:Still under warranty no?

IamMattFox said:How long is the typical turn-around time for a 360 repair nowadays? I remember two years ago it was about a week. More now?
Mine arrived at the repair center on Thursday. Any rough estimates as to when I'll see the bad boy again? Shipping time was one day.
To anyone else reading... you should remove your faceplate before sending it in.KingJ2002 said:- Original black faceplate is broken on return
sionyboy said:Update on Falcon E74 death:
Posted Xbox Thursday 20th August
Received Xbox back Friday 28th August.
Can't complain about the service (although I can complain about the xbox downtime!)
They replaced the motherboard and the dvd drive on my falcon/hitachi drive machine. Surprised they replaced the dvd drive, I don't think there was anything wrong with the old one. I had a hitachi in there but its been taken out for a benq/lite-on (whatever they are branding them these days).

I do it once a month around the 15th. Not had time to do it this month yet though.TOAO_Cyrus said:Some stats on total number of RROD's reported and how many of each type etc. I searched but I cant find anything recent.
You can tell by looking at the power socket on the back of the console:Disguises said:I think it's a falcon model.

I searched but couldn't find anything, how do I get a transfer kit? Also, how do I transfer the licenses for all my content?
My near Australian launch 360 died for the second time yesterday, too. Funnily enough, I was playing Rock Band when it happened. Damn rhythm games!stonedwal said:Australian Launch 360 (March 2006) RROD'd for the second time last night, roughly about 18 months after the first repair. Going to replace it with a new Elite on the 23rd when the price drop and free ODST deal starts.
The death was sudden during a round of Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits. I reckon it died cos I considered playing Too Human
I'd like to know this as well, I also got a late 08' bundle with Lego Indy and Kung-Fu Panda except mine was a Pro not an Elite (is there any difference?) and I checked and it is indeed a Falcon. Are we fucked?Docpan said:I opted to pick up a late '08 Elite Bundle (w/ Lego Indy and Kung Fu Panda) after the price drop, solely because it comes with the Component and HMDI cables. They really screwed users over by taking that stuff out of the new models.
That said, I've got a Falcon (though apparently late '08 Falcons have an 80nm GPU compared to the standard 95nm), and not the newer Jasper. Am I fucked?
Only time will tell, as long as it works, then no sweat.Colocho said:I'd like to know this as well, I also got a late 08' bundle with Lego Indy and Kung-Fu Panda except mine was a Pro not an Elite (is there any difference?) and I checked and it is indeed a Falcon. Are we fucked?
Try ebay'ing it, some people will probably want to buy a defective unit for other uses.ToiletofSadness said:So, I had a launch console die on me last night. No RRODing, but the GPU is glitching out and locking the system after less than a minute of gameplay in The Beatles Rock Band.
Having already purchased a replacement system from Dell, I know have a useless paperweight that I'd like to get rid of. What's the best way to dispose of the system (besides throwing it in the trash)?
Check the Power Supply, there's a chart somewhere in this thread.gimmmick said:Just got my xbox360 back. Happy camper right now. Here's hoping this one will last! :lol
Fired up the que, no lock ups or glitching. Keeping it in a well ventilated area so the chances of it over heating will go down.
Is there a way I can tell which xbox I got (like falcon or whatever it's called?)
