Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Problem with XBox

Clare Bear · 2009-08-17 18:10:49

There's 3 red lights flashing on the front of our XBox on the power button. What is this and how can it be fixed if it can be fixed by us? Was working fine 2 days ago. It keeps crashing and won't work. Thanks for any help.

Definitely broken and nothing we can do?

Where would we bring it to get fixed do you know? To Microsoft here? Not under warranty anymore. Thanks.

Try taking the Hard Drive off the Xbox and leaving it off for 30 minutes. Put it back on and try turning on the Xbox. Worked for me before when that happened to mine, but only works for a very small number of cases afaik.
