xbox 360 red lights twice in a row?
June 4th, 2008 | by xboxrepair |
Jon R asked:
My xbox got the three led lights on September 28th ( 3 days after Halo 3 came out) and then I called Microsoft for a repair. I got my xbox back on October 26th and I set it up and went to the xbox 360 dashboard. I put Halo 3 in and the screen started going crazy and made loud noises. I shut down the 360 and turned it on again and the 3 red lights appeared. I was very angry with Microsoft and the Supervisor told me he will make sure it is not broken but I do not know if that will be true. Has anyone ever heard about this happening to someone else? Can it possibly be Halo 3 that is causing this problem??

On the xbox website under support there is an article about the halo 3 disc and it causing some problem. i cant remember what it said but maybe you should go check it out.

put another game in it. if it does the same thing, then its not Halo3 ’s fault

No, I’ve never heard of a game causing that.. The 360’s have a known problem and Microsoft knows about it and has set aside money to fix it. You just got unlucky and either got a bad repairman who didn’t do the job correctly or you got another bad part. i bet the second fix will work for you.
I had to send my 360 in for the same problem once but now it runs Halo 3 great.

Same thing here in Canada.. Demand a new unit and not a repair.. In Canada when u get the red light of death ms automatically gives you a brand new unit and not a repair but in the US the ms guy said they try and repair.. I don’t think its the game but it is definatly the console.. Tell them you want a replacement and not a repair…

this does sound like the halo 3 disk is doing it
