They will run through some troubleshooting things with you. If nothing helps, they'll initiate the return/repair process. Justin, you’ll need to call Microsoft at 1-800-4MY-XBOX.

It reconnected and I pressed play and within three seconds my Xbox froze completely. I can not turn it back on now and I get 3/4 of the circle but it's red. Please someone tell me what to do.

Have not had the red r-o-d but it appears to freeze at all-important moments. I do not know whether I have a problem others have or if I have a limited issue all of my own, I hope not. Anyway thanks for the info. I have been looking for some X-box facts on the internet for a few days as my box has stopped operating.

Yesturday I went ahead and just bought a new arcade version. Hopefully this one will work. But to the point of this post, I "fixed" my xbox 360 with the x-clamp fix. I had the no video but sound problem and once I ordered the screws/bolts and thermal paste and folled the videos on youtube, I TEMPERARLY fixed my xbox 360. It lasted about 5 months. I recommend doing this for both the RROD and the no video but audio problem IF and ONLY IF, you do not or will not pay for repairs and/or M$ won't pay for them either. Because if the only other choose is to throw it out, why not spend about $10 on trying to get what you can left out of the system.

I just want to add what can I do I send them in for repairs and they just die before I get a chance to use them. I buy a new one and it does the exact same thing. I am at a loss for words so to speak. I cannot for the life of me figure out what in the heck is going on. I have an elite which was purchased when they were first released. It died on me a few years ago (3rrod) the replacement worked for about 6 months then died. It began to get worse and the replacements would last if I am lucky a month or so. It got so bad I bought an Arcade unit in Jan 09 as a backup. It died a few weeks later(3rrod), I keep getting these systems back and they are dying right and left. I just got back my arcade unit a few days ago and decided to continue using my elite. Today my elite started to freeze until it finally gave me the 3rrod. I unplugged my elite and plugged in my arcade unit, I got to the sign in menu and it froze. I continued to turn it on and it froze; it gave me 3rrod and I had not even been able to log in or play a game. I have my systems upright on the top shelf where it is not being blocked by anything and has plenty of airflow. The temp in the room is around 70 degrees or so. I don't know what to do. I had the wireless device removed cause it caused the 3rrod on my elite so I now use the ethernet port, I replaced the hard drive just in case it was a bad drive. I am baffled on why these consoles continue to die and in such a quick time frame. I just put in an service order for my elite tonight and now have to do the same to my arcade. I am not sure what to do? My PS3 runs fine and has given me no issues whatsoever. I say this because it has been suggested that it could be a power issue with my place in the past. If it were true I would think my PS3 would also have issues. I am not sure what can cause this to happen. I hate to say this but I may have to give up on the 360 all together because I cannot even enjoy the two systems I have and have no idea what is the reason for all these failures. I am beginning to lose count on how many repairs I have requested. This has been a nightmare beyond belief and I really enjoy my 360 have tons of games I still have yet to beat. Any suggestions or similar issues? This is from my post on xbox.com. I just want to add what can I do I send them in for repairs and they just die before I get a chance to use them.

OR buy the x-clamp kit off of ebay. I tried to send it in but they wanted to charge me $100 bucks. And the law suite was meaning toward the shit box and ALL the problems I had from just a few days of ownining it. AND when my 360 first starting freezing, I called in and they said it was just probably that game. I got more games and it froze up still. And then 3 years later it red ringed after 3 years of freezing and disk reading errors. I had NEVER had an electronic item break on me before. And I have always and still do take care of my systems, I don't leave them in closed places to get over heated. Also I like to note that as of april 15, 2009, my xbox 360 that I fixed with the x-clamp is still working fine, with the exception of the disk reading error which and I can get it to read the disk now by hitting the side of the xbox 360 just above where the disk drive is. (obviously not TOO hard as it may break something inside.) Well if it had never had the issue in the first place i would have never had to open it. OR buy the x-clamp kit off of ebay.
