Well **** me!
 

About a year ago my 360 got the 'unplayable disc error'...it's a first gen 360, but since I absolutely despise Microsoft and their customer service, I decided to fix it myself (take off the cover, void the warranty, dab a little super glue on the bolt, problem fixed!)

Well I was playing Halo 3 (like usual) and boom, system error, RROD!

Voided warranty...

I'm ****ed.

...

Life sucks.

So when I buy a core system (already have a 120 GB hard drive) will my hard drive still be cool or is it the reason why my system red lighted?

This sucks. First time it has happened to me...I know I've been lucky since my system is a 1st gen system.

Actually, it is not the RROD...it is just 1 red ring...what does that mean?

God damnit...this console is just ****ed. I wish I never would have fixed it myself...I'm an idiot.

Did the hard drive come from your first system or was it purchased separately?

I'll sell you my 360.

I just bought it and I haven't been using it as much as I hoped.

Plus I could use the money.

Bought it on March 3 I believe.

I bought it all from a guy on Ebay...it was a first gen system...I bought it two January's ago. It was a good run, I suppose. I think it's the console because when I unplug all of the controllers and hard drive the console still flashes one red light...meaning (according to what I've read) the console is ****ed.

It means you were ****ed anyway. No three rings, no extended warranty. So you don't have to feel as bad.

Microsoft is the debbil!

I got the red ring and flipped hard drives with no problem...the hard drive is separate from your console unless of course you take it off and it works.

If it's not the RROD then it's only 1 year warranty. 3 years if RROD. Sometimes unplugging everything including HD, then putting it all back together works. Sometimes.

I'll probably buy a refurbished core on Ebay...I think if I try hard enough I can get the console only...no cords, no controllers, etc...for $100.

Oh cool.

Good Luck, hope you don't get a POS.

I knew it was going to happen...I never put the case back on after I took it off to fix it initially...and although I keep it properly ventilated, it does collect dust like crazy and it really is a piece of shit.

It just sucks because it will be at least 6 weeks before I can replace this one...and I do a lot of stuff on the 360 that isn't video game related.

Risk I'm willing to take I guess. I don't feel like paying $200 for an Arcade...I already have 4 controllers...well shit, I guess I could fork over $50 and just sell a few controllers on Amazon.

Whatever...it's going to take 6 weeks before I have the money anyways...maybe I'll be more active over the next month and a half.

I could be wrong but if you send it in to be fixed it will be $99. Plus should be free shipping. Might be a little more safe.

If I showed you a picture of my gutted 360, you would see why I am ready to move on LMAO

I think I am going to sell my hard drive and my network adapted ($150 profit) and spend $220 for the 60GB 360 deal they have going on Amazon...

If it comes with a controller I can sell off a controller or two and pretty much break even.

We'll see.

Not sure which light is on - but I know each one means something different. Might check this link - you might be able to salvage it if you care.

What size of HD do you have?

Just put a wired controller, 120 GB HD, network adapter, power supply, AV cable on Amazon...should get around $170 if they all sell (after commission)...I can get a 20 GB refurbished 360 with the cables, a wireless controller, and headset for around $210...

I'll take it.

60 GB

If I can get a decent price for it I'll sell it, if not I'll just keep it.

How much did you buy it for?

You can find that pack with those two shitty free games on Amazon for like $225-$235...

Oh I paid whatever retail is, I forget

I'll sell yo mine; 360 Elite; new in box, never opoened. Replaced from when the last 360 went tits up via extended warranty; I opted to by a PS3 in Feb. I will included abut 10 games; guitar hero controller etc.

ROFL @ the thread title...

lol x 2

Right now I'm selling all my shit on Amazon.com and going the cheap, refurbished route...I am only looking to spend around $220 for a replacement.

Here you go.

Refurb 20 Gig

$170 + $2 Shipping
