I've gone through 4 xbox's 2 of which were zenons and 2 that were zephyrs.
Yet I still don't understand why I keep buying them. My last RROD is all tricked out with fans and a new heatsink for the GPU , and magically their are no more problems with it. It's funny what a little proper cooling does for these POS's LoL.

[Update]

So I have a july 07 Zephyr, one of the first premiums to have HDMI.

now the GPU has pretty much failed completely, either no video signal at all or an extremely glitched out screen.

Sound works fine, go fuckin figure.

MS says that general video hardware failures are only covered for one year and won't repair it under warranty because its NOT an RROD even though my issue is caused by the exact same factors that produce the 3 rings.

Bastards!!

I think I'll call back and say that I have an RROD, they might replace it regardless.

my console's mfr date is 2006-03-31

not sure what version, but other than the dvd drive being super loud, it still runs fine

I had the Xenon which RROD'd sent to MS. Which when I received gave it to my nephew....I bought a RROD xbox360 for cheap....Zephyr...has RROD'd but did the xclamp trick...and haven't had problems since.

On a side note....any word on when Jasper have been seen out in the wild...or when they will be shipped?....or even the Vahalla chips...but I think odds are better on getting a Jasper one.

I have had 2 falcons due to a trade, one was mine and one traded for a bike. I sold one of them to a friend and he got band after I told him not to go online with backups because his brother did it anyways, then about a month later he told me he got the rrod, I felt bad about that. Mine is still cranking along though. Really sad to see more yes's than no's in the poll (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I've had it on 4 Xenons. 2 are fixed and running great (fingers crossed and knocking on wood). 1 seems to be ok after tightening the screws (forgot to tighten them the first time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ). And 1 piece of !#@%$ won't stop Rrod'ing on me. I stopped putting it back together. I'm going on my 4th or 5th fix for this one. It's killin' me! Thanx Microscrap!

Another one of my friends went while we were modding it, I said to him "Well that's the definition of irony isn't it!" as it was only like 20-30 mintues after the warrenty was removed. It's fixed now though

I think it was a Zephyr

I'm not sure what version mine is (manufacture date was 10/2006), but I got the RRoD last night while playing GoW2.

I recently discovered the xclamp fix and just fixed 3 RROD 360s this last weekend. They were broken for the last year of so. All the first gen. One more to fix for another friend.

My son just sent in his '3rd' 360 over 2 years. What a PITA. Let's hope the 4th one works better than the first 3. How can MS possibly make any money from this system.

I got mine the week before the 360 was released and it is still going strong. Maybe I should have bought a lottery ticket instead, lmao!!!!

lmao, same here.

My Xenon updated nice, and never had any problems with it.

Damn, we are two lucky guys I think xD
