Modding_out · **My 360 gave me the 3rrod!!! -** 01.28.2010, 06:27 PM

My 360 gave me a scare, a few min ago.

It glitched, distorted the y axis of the pic and froze, While plying the original splinter cell double agent. (I was viewing the map at the time)

I was kinda surprised, But I thought the disk had a scratch on it....nope perfect, but I cleaned it off any way..But that's getting ahead of my self.

1. First thing I did after it froze was turn it off using the button on the console(the controller stopped responding)

2. After it completely powered down I pressed the eject button the clean the disk(see above) It successfully powered on to the dash board with no problems, and booted the game up when I put it back in with no problems.

3. Next I turned off again and this time with the disk still in I turn it on via power button. The 360 powered on....But no picture, and after a minute I got the 3rrod (my controller had all the lights lit too)

4. I freaked and powered it off immediately. Then tried step two again, It worked perfectly.

5. I forget what it did in here in step 5 but I did some thing with poweron/off

6. Next I killed power to the whole tv system (nothing was turned on) and with the power off I tried to turn them on to make sure their was no juice flowing any were.

7. Then I tried step 3 again and it started up and worked flawlessly from what I can tell, I didn't actually play any thing on it.

So that leave me here, coming to you guys my RCM homies for advice.

*Should I crack the case and tighten down those heat sinks to prevent any problems?
*Or should I just leave well enough alone?

Hey lincpimp....When I bought it off of you, you said it was like new right? And I have only played maybe 20 or so times, and never for more than an hour before turning it off. It's in a well ventilated area standing up (the most ventilated position) When done playing (most always under an hour) I check it's temps and it's always been rock steady, and not burning up.

That's all I can think of at the moment, what do you guys think? And please, no "you should've gotten a ps3" shit.
