Well, I've gone through about 3 or 4 xbox 360s; all which were shipped off in coffins and repaired. But yesterday, after about 2-3years of working ok... my xbox died... and I have no warranty...
Lets start with a few months back...
I noticed every now and then my xbox would mess up, either weird looking screen:
Or 1 red ring followed by the E74 screen... or no video at all...
But, it always worked it's self out when I restarted...
This has been going on for a little while... recently no video has been coming up almost everytime I start my xbox... I just restarted once or twice then bam, its back. Rarely the screen was messed up and I got the E74 maybe a couple of times...
Yesterday, I turned my xbox on... no video, no problem i'll restart it...nothing, restart again... nothing
I even went out early this morning and spent a little over $15.00 on a new cable... that was a waste of money.. it didn't work. I tried everything... display reset, switched from normal av to hd... nothing..
I read some things online and others have had this... something w/ the video output just dies due to overheating, playing to much, etc...
It will cost over $100 w/o warranty... I rather just go out and buy a new one... which i'll be doing when i get the $$ at some point... till then... no more street fighter 4... no left 4 dead... no halo, no netflix, no acarde games... nothing.. oh and to top it off... my WoW time card is used up,,, and i don't have the money atm to get another... yay.
I still have my old xbox, but no games (i sold them all) but at least i can watch dvds because i relied on my 360 to watch them.. and HD-DVDs which will just have to sit there...
ok this is long enough... i'll stop here and have a moment of silence for my falling friend.... *sob*
