Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death Help!?

My xbox is crazy right now. When I turn it on I get no picture or sound the green lights come on but after like 2 minutes I get 3 red rings. I the change the components to regular picture(it was on hd picture first). If someone can help me that would be great.

Suggestion:

Three rings: The infamous Red Ring of Death. This signifies a general hardware failure.

I just posted this – maybe it can help you…

Q: how strict is xbox about the 3 year warranty for the red ring of death?
I got the red ring of death. I have no receipt of when I purchased my original xbox. However, I assume it was before August 2007 (which marks 3+ years). How do they know how old the xbox is? (most of my friends haven't had receipts when they shipped theirs in to be fixed) Will they make me pay for a fix, or just give me a free repair, since Microsoft has had such a massive failure and the xbox company is inept? Anyone have experience with this, specifically those who get a red ring 3+ years after purchase?

A: You may have missed the three-year deadline.

You otherwise may have been in better shape than you expected.

I have a November 2007 360 Pro that I sent in for the RRoD problem. On the 3rd of this month (August 2010) and already got back from Microsoft fully repaired. They even through in a free one-month Xbox Live Gold Membership.

Even if you have no receipt, register the unit here:

I expected the returned unit to be a refurbished one, and the one I sent in to go in the “to be fixed” pile to be sent to someone else as a refurbished unit to save time (Microsoft is very conscious about a user not having their gaming fix), but no, it was my original unit repaired with a new sticker stating the date of repair – which was the same day they got it, by the way.

So, register the unit on-line – they have all the necessary warranty – including extended – information at hand. They’ll issue you a Repair Service number by which you can track the repair status of your unit at any time.

Microsoft has proven to not be, as you said, inept. They are efficient and have all the information on every unit sold, though I assume they go by the recorded manufacturing dates, and the owner is deemed as such by registering the unit on-line.

The RRoD has been a problem, as you all know. The remedied this by the extended warranty and that particular problem in the later incarnations of the 360 (such as the Elite) has been resolved.
