I Need My Xbox 360 To Get The Three Red Lights Error

[matz]

u may think that is crazy......but I have one red light at the moment....and the bastards at microsoft only fix your 360 for free if you have 3 red lights.......so i need to convert my 1 red light to 3 red lights......any ideas????

1 red light - £65 repair - bad times
3 red lights - free repair - happy days

wrap it in towels.

[matz]

does it work at the moment?

nope, got 1 red light, an e74 error?

haha yea same thing happened to me, after a while i got the three red lights so i got mine free a month ago

how did u get those wonderfull three red lights then????

wrap it in towels.

i might jus try that

[matz]

Actually dude DONT!! lol i just googled and it might not be your 360.

E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU.

Try getting a new av cable first. I doubt there that expensive and worth trying i guess.

haha appreciate da warning, borrowed a cable from one of my housemates but still no cigar

Your wanna be careful though, bit of a fire risk seen s your intentionatly overheating it.

hmmm ill try it....and its cool, itl onli burn down this shitty 60s university accomodation.....no biggie

[matz]

Best way, cover air vents. Plain and simple.

k kwl, im guessin the three red lights is a result of overheating then

just happened some random day, cuz when i had 1 red light it still worked every once in a while, and then one day i got 3 and it never worked and took it in

I've gotten the red rings twice. The fixed it for me both times, no biggie.

easy, just fill out a thing online saying there is 3 red lights, they send you a free shipping box and label, gets sent there, than either two things happen, they send it back saying liar and you get your old box back, or they send you a brand new xbox. Never call them on the phone they suck dick, use the internet its much easier to lie and get away with it.

PS3 = Came with a free cooling fan, but even without... No reported burn outs.. So you guys got some great games, we have the great hardware.

True. but from what I heard the new xbox's have a much better design.

I've never had a problem with my 360. Like it's never even frozen.

Yeah 1st run systems are useless. If it wasn't for the addiction I have to gadgets and shit I wouldn't even bother with new systems until they were 2 yrs old
