3 rings of death

TheDoc

A another old thread about a blown out 360. Never thought it would happen to me. Turned on 360 last night to watch Heat on dvd and bang bout 20 mins in happens. Console can be turned back on but lasts 30 mins and then it goes.

This is the second console ive received from xtravision. First one had a faulty cd tray.

I'm not accepting that ive to send the item away and do this myself. I know that through boards the procedure is to send the item away to microsoft, but fact is xtravision did no state that at time of purchase, nor is it on my receipt or in my xbox manual. They are bound to my product for twelve months.

Rang them last night to solve the problem but was talknig to a complete spastic, have to ring this morning for a manager.

I really am not going to accept that ive to send it away, if that is the case they can do it for me and accept all charges.

ok jsut turned on my new replacement for the first time, 10 mins into the darkness and bang 3 rings again, i dont beleive it.

Could it be a problem with the leads etc?

This really is getting old.

Was playing some PES there and the game froze. Turned it off, booted up again and the same thing happened a couple of minutes in. Then I got the 3 red lights. I tried a different game and it just froze again a couple of mins in.

I got the Xbox before Xmas in Tesco but am struggling to find the receipt (Idiotic, I know). Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Tesco's policy on these faulty Xboxes and if I have to send it through Microsoft, what's the procedure there?

Thanks for any advice.

They won't take it back if you have no receipt

The results vary from time to time, but have you tried the towel trick? Have a look on youtube for it. It works I swear to God, I've done it myself. I turned on the xbox 3 times and it froze each time, but since the 4th time it works.
Also try lying the console on its side while playing.

I've tried it on it's side and seems to work now, but I turned it on this morning and the first time were the 3 red rings. I tried it a second time and it worked fine. If the system didn't cost so much money, it would be laughable.
