xbox red lights
thkam0801 asked:


Recently (while playing Halo 3 on my 360) my screen went white for the most part besides a few blue stripes. I couldn’t see a thing so I turned off my xbox. When I turned it back on I got 1 red light on the ring of light and an error message (74). I call xbox support and they want to charge me $100 for repairs as I only have 1 red light not 3. To save myself $100 I want to get 3 red lights so I can get repairs for free. From what I’ve heard, xbox checks to make sure that the xbox has 3 lights. Can anyone tell me how to get the “Red Ring of Death”?
I can not do anything on my xbox other than glare at the error message and my warrenty is expired

    Get some really detailed games, like Gears of War. This kinda thing rarely happens to some luck people, but it has a side effect, I bet you know what it is? EVERYTHING DELETED. Saves, and some what. Hope That helps.

    Play on it constantly and overheat it. That’s one of the ways. And to be honest, when u bought ur 360, it should’ve came with a warranty. They are not supposed to charge u for any repairs. That’s a violation of the warranty and MS Customer Support can get in trouble for that. Call them again and ask to speak to the supervisor.
