Nearly 2 years my xbox lasted, it had a pretty good run in all honesty.

Yeah, i got the Red Ring of Death for my xbox 360. For those that don't know about this is a problem that occurs within the Xbox's actual hard drive. It is an unfixable hardware problem, which happens alot to xbox's.

In case you doubt the seriousness of it, it has also been dubbed by many people "The Death of your Console".

So yeah, its fucked and with my exams in a few months im gonna wait until my exams are over then get another.

It's an easy fix.. And for those who are going to post "this is why Xbox fails", Cam's Xbox is the old version. The new ones don't get the 3 Red Lights, unless it's left on for days.

And it's caused by the cheap solder within your console holding the main parts together melting under intense heat. The newer Xbox's contain better and longer lasting solder, so you can either buy a new one for more reliabilty, or remove the case, re-melt the solder then screw the bolts into place again, the solder will cool down and your xbox will be fine again.

^^^^^

Yeah that is true, mines an original xbox 360, the newish Xbox 360 Elite doesnt go down without a fight.

I have a policy that if im playing with technology, i will play with software, hack it and all sorts as i do with quite alot of phones. But im very paranoid of opening up the hardware.

My dad is an electrician, so i have all the tools ill ever need or i could even get him to do it, but i dunno, never liked playing with hardware
