dum dum DUM dum

Thats a pretty much dead xbox u got there matey!!

how long u had it for and where did ya get it from?

[Andyvalver]

Unlplug everything and then try to start it up again. If it works then it will be ok for a while. If 3 red lights come up again its ****ed. Xbox 360's are such great machines but at the same time they are shit!

ring of death unfortunately by the sounds of it.

Under warrenty, send it back to M/S (will send you a new one)

If not, there are a few guides on the net on how to modify the heatsinks as that seems to be the fault (Newer models have more although MS wont agree there is a fault in the design)

Clio of the console world unfortunatly :P

The wont send you a new one... They send refurbed ones! If you have warrenty from where you bought it from contact them and get it replaced.

My bastard 360 burnt a laser ring into my forza yesterday

Sure you didnt just tilt the xbox while it was powered on? Never heard of laser burning the disc

Its a common fault, my bro's GF works at game and they get it a lot, my first xbox kept doin it to certain games, this one has started doing it now
