pssst... read the sticky  rolleyes.gif

typically this is due to a hard drive failure... try removing and re-seating your hard drive, if that doesn't work try running without the hard drive at all..

as always contact MS, they're good about warranties

If you don't have a hard drive and get red lights in sectors 1, 3, and 4 this indicates a hardware failure.  I would call MS and get a Repair Order started.  Let us know where you have to send it.  Something tells me it isn't Texas like us North Americans.  Sorry for the hassle - same thing happen to me, I should get my repaired/replaced box on Monday or Tuesday.

Take it back to the shop.  Some stores are keeping extras in back for replacements.

yea iv got to get it sorted,
its just hard to let it go when iv waited for months on pre order biggrin.gif


Dude mine did the same yesterday (was fine in the second as I had raised the PowerBar)

check my pics here: My XBOX 360 Pics

I raised it with a Lightsaber Stand  blink.gif

Wasn't raised in the morning, tis all ok now  have it on a stool, (I never had it on the carpet at all, it was on a solid surface with loads of ventilation, but it seems to like being suspended)

Check out the length of the Queue at my local GAME (Accrington)
