360 3 red lights

Anyone had to send their unit in to get fixed for this known issue? What is the success rate of this issue being resolved for good aftere being sent it for repair?

Re: 360 3 red lights

I guess I'm still curious to know how the success rate is after the fixes. Does the problem still occur, or has it been resolved for good?

One sec. I have an article on that.

The Reason Behind Xbox 360 Exceptional Failure Rate - MegaGames console

I believe they replace the old circuit so its good to go.

Lets hope then. I've run across similar stories, and I guess its a good thing that I haven't seen much regarding complaining after repair, only before.

Thats what happens when you try to cut costs!

Re: 360 3 red lights

I do like how they offred 3 months free of online gold membership due to the problem, yet I don't do online!!! I'm just grateful for the extended 3 year warranty, so I won't complain too much.

Re: 360 3 red lights

I sent mine in probably 4 months or so ago, took about 10 calendar days from the day I shipped mine to the day I got one back. I got a replacement box, I'm guessing that's what they do most of the time.

And I, Bruno, will dive 1,000 feet into a block of cement. On my head, yet!

I bought mine over a year ago. I wonder if it will ever crap out.

Re: 360 3 red lights

I will say, it made me nervous since I bought mine over ebay, but they still honored the extended warranty and allowed me the ability to send it free of charge. I just had to double check that none of the seals were tampered w/.

Now I'm just hoping it alleviates the problem all together so I don't have to worry about this machince giving me issues anymore. But its great since I got the unit for about $100 cheaper than retail!!!

I had mine fixed about 6 or 8 months ago. They sent me a replacement unit... No problems since.

Short answer, yes. Yes it will. The good news is Microsoft has replaced so many of these they've got their system down pretty good.
