Title: I need the Red Ring of Death
Post by: miracle fruit on March 23, 2008, 11:09:38 PM
Okay so I got this error on my 360 and whenever i put in ANY disc it says "Unplayable Disc" so I call up Microsoft and they can't replace it for free because its not the 3 red lights error. Instead they can fix it for a fee of $100.

so fuck that tell me how to break my 360 so it gets 3 red lights so i can get a free one

Keep it in front of a heater while its on for awhile.
 
It should overheat quickly that way.

Just tell them it's the red rings even though it's not. You think they personally plug in and check every single 360 sent to them? Even if they did, the worst they would do is send it back to you and say "um excuse me fuck you asshole".

FYI this 'fixes' it by melting the connections in your motherboard back together. It's a temporary fix.

But if you still want to do it find tutorials on youtube.

1. take sharpie
2. draw 3 red lights
3. call microsoft
4. wait 5 years for them to send it back.

But if you want to try and fix the problem try opening the sonuvabitch to clean the laser with a swab and then pot-tweak it.
That or ultimately buying the correct replacement laser from ebay for $30

But if you just want 3 red lights, keep in on for a long time, pound on it, keep it not-so-ventilated

Play some HD-DVDs on it.
Maybe the failure will will get to the Xbox through osmosis or something.

it can't play ANY discs

which sucks because i'm going to try duct-taping the vent holes and leaving it on but it'd be way better if i could pop a shitty game in there or something so its working up some heat, otherwise it just sits there inactive
