Arse - my 360 appears to have gone tits up. My console is out of warranty so I will need to get it repaired or replace it. Can anyone help by identifying the problem though?
Aboyut two weeks ago we have a series of power surges which suddenly switched everything in the street off then on again. I unplugged my consoles but not before I got a three rings of death on my 360.
Luckily it seemed to work ok after I left it a while.
Anyway, this past friday evening I was playing something or other and when I went to change the games I got the three red rings again. I hadn't touched the console since then until tonight.
When I switch the console on the front four ring display is not lit apart from the middle. I can hear the console whirring but there is no picture on the screen. The LED on the power supply is green. The scart and everything else is plugged in. After leaving it for about five minutes, I get the flashing three rings of red.
Now sadly my console is out of warranty. It is also flashed (something I had no knowledge of when I got it). It must be about two years old I would imagine. I know someone who can repair 360s but I need to know what it is first, and indeed whether there is anything I can do myself to rectify the problem.
Please can anyone help me sort this out. I was just about to get stuck into the Pro Evo league as well so I guess I had better scratch that one unless anyone has a miracle solution.
Having no 360 makes me realise how much I am going to miss it. I am gutted! ****ing gutted!
