Yep, sounds like a bad drive.

Your disc drive is kaput.

Mine will probably succumb to this problem at some point.



Also...if there are any Left 4 Dead fans here....it appears it'll be cheaper than $60:

That the hell is up with that price?

Dangit. I called the hotline, they said I have to send it in for work. First one died due to RROD, this is my 2nd. Fortunately, its still covered by the warranty.
What a horrible product. But I still love it.

They shouldnt break like that, but one should be able to handle no gaming for a week and a half. Then again, i got a ps3 for back ups. lol

Does a warranty really matter? I mean I am pretty sure mine expired. I just called up Microsoft - got some verification numbers and whatnot. My disc drive failed - I sent it to Microsoft and got it fixed. So, do warranties really matter?

They extended everyone's warranty due to the massive number of issues they've had.

Hell, I'm on my 4th 360 now.

I should just put the support line on speed dial.

The good news is they have a lot of practice dealing with these issue so their service is typically top notch :D

I have seriously been considering reporting a failure so I can get a new 360. I've had this one for quite a while now; about time for it to go tits-up. "Pre-emptive service replacement" ;)

Hey! Somebody that has as many failures as me!

Oh come now, I'm sure you're a MUCH bigger failure than anyone else here. ;)

Yup...I set that one up. Nice.

I have known people who have sent it in only for MS to call them and say there's nothing wrong with your Xbox. There has to be something wrong with it. I am sure they have a few people there that just test it.

Could always try though. When i got the RROD, mine wouldnt red ring all the time, i would be able to play it, but when i turned it off and tried to play later that day, i couldnt. It was all wierd. Worked when it wanted too.

My son's 360 had the red ring of death. I looked up MS on the web, entered the serial number and found out it was still covered under their warranty. They sent me a postage paid box, I sent it back to them last Thursday and I got an email today saying it was repaired or replaced and is on its way back to us already! That is awesome.

Lol. I had no problem doing without the 360 during the 2 different times that I had to send it in for repairs. My 12 year old, however, was jonesing for a fix. ROFL
