cr0bar Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 On my second xbox 360 since May 2007. First one died while saving Halo 3, gutted when it currupted. Second one seems happy at the moment, although i've only had it a month, making some wierd clicking noises when it cools down, i hope for gods sake it's just the new heatsink cooling down. Don't fancy sending this one back again. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/610191-360-rrod-poll/page/8/#findComment-589101240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc134 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Received my first 360 for christmas '06 and got the 3 rings of death on December 25, 2007, exactly one year to the day. Called Microsoft and I am currently waiting for its "coffin" to arrive. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/610191-360-rrod-poll/page/8/#findComment-589101269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Dweller Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I had an original XBox 360 from day one release and it actually just died less than 2 weeks ago right before Christmas. It was the old RROD. I've been reading about this problem for months and thought I would be one of the few lucky ones not getting a bad one. Well that all changed a few weeks back. What was weird was I could still boot it and it would work flawlessly one time then the next time it would be the RROD and nothing. I called figuring I might as well get it taken care of even if it did work when it wanted to. Now it's a waiting game to get it back, it just got shipped out about a week ago.

sonrah Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Bought a refurbished one from Micro Center; was banned from live. Returned it, got another refurb, RRoDed in a couple of days. Returned that one, and had to wait a week for the store to get more refurbs in; got it, and it RRoDed the same day. Needless to say, after going through 3 refurbs in a couple of weeks, I ended up buying a new one (The premium bundle with the 2 free games; 65nm chip I believe), which has been working pretty well. It sees about a 3-4 of hours avg. per day) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/610191-360-rrod-poll/page/8/#findComment-589102187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pep27 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I've had my 360 for 11 months, just got my first RROD I've been anticipating it for some time. Use it entirely to much.

Nidonocu Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 No RRoD, however my first Xbox refused to play any copy of Dead Rising so I used the opportunity to have it swapped. The replacement though had a problem with its transceiver for the wireless control pads out of the box so that was sent back also. Third one since then has been fine.

Banshi Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I had the rrod and solved the problem myself. I can't say if everyone has the same issue but mine was a problem with the hd connection. After fooling with it and some calls to Microsoft I had given up. I was about to take it back when I decided to give fixing it one more try. I knew it was a connection problem because it would run fine without the hd in and if you snapped it in and out enough times it would occasionally work. I started playing with inserting the drive and found if you just barely let it lock in it worked fine. A small cardboard spacer between the drive and console maintains this latching position now and I have had 5 months of perfect function.

dbuske Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The problem was poor cooling on the chips including cpu. Knowing this didn't any of you try putting decent cooling on the chips?

Shadrack Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The problem was poor cooling on the chips including cpu. Knowing this didn't any of you try putting decent cooling on the chips? Sure, now it seems like it is a good idea to add extra cooling to the already noisy as hell X360. But Microsoft should have done a better job. There is clearly an Engineering problem here. I'm glad Neowin has a front page pole on the issue. Finally we are getting some real data on the issue as MS will never release their data. It also mutes the people who claim the problem is over emphasized by an overly vocal minority of people.

sTIMPZ Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) Console had a manufacturing date of April '06, bought the console in April '07. It RROD'd on me on December 11th...so it lasted 8 months. Original design, bought the premium. My brother has a launch console that hasn't RROD'd on him yet, granted his didn't get nearly as much use as mine did. Mine was in a college dorm room and was on probably 3-4 hours a day. @dbuske -- not worth voiding my warranty for that. I'd much rather have the RROD and send it in than void my warranty and have anything else go wrong and be SOL.

Mutex Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 1 RROD Had it for about 1.5 years Original Design Premium model I got a RROD a few weeks after my initial purchase. Other than that I've had recent problems with the 'unreadable disc' error. So I called MS last week and I'm still waiting for them to send the shipping box.

halcyoncmdr Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 How many have you had? No RROD :-) How long have you owned your console? Me, about 1 year. I bought it from a friend used, total a little over 2 years. Do you have the original design or the new Falcon 65nm core? Original, Nov 2005 model. Is it a Core, Arcade, Pro, Elite, Halo, etc?

DarrenP Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have two 360 pros (Australian). One was a launch console and it had RROD twice, DVD laser replaced. My second 360 was purchased at a retail chain called WOW Sight and Sound. It was factory refurbished and therefor about $100.00 cheaper. It two has had another RROD. The thing is, the WOW as a retail chain had so many factory refurbished 360 pros that they had their own special box and the saleman said they would not be out of stock anytime soon (i.e. They had hundreds available just to that one store). I am currently waiting for my first 360 to return from Microsoft. It's been almost two weeks given the holiday period. I am definately sick of the hardware failures. If this was a fridge or car etc, I would be able to get a completely new unit under the Lemon principle.

subcodec Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I don't have a 360, but I thought I'd comment from another angle. I work for UPS as a driver and we deliver many of the replacement consoles. In the last 6 months, I've delivered around 10 consoles in my area. While that normally wouldn't be too bad, 3/4 of my route consists of businesses. One guy I delivered a replacement to said it was his 3rd. I also deliver at a Gamestop and the one employee has said they returned many themselves.
