Worst day ever! - RC-Monster Forums

maxair45 · **Worst day ever! -** 12.29.2009, 03:34 PM

I took the day off today to get some stuff done. I got my xxx sct build almost complete and I go to the lhs to get the bumpers, not in stock. Okay, so i go to the UPS store to ship out the crt.5 I sold recently, I got hit with a $30 bill on that. I give in and I go to walmart and I get CODMW2 and I get the 3 month xbox live membership with it, I get home set up a new xbox live account, and I finally get to play one game after 30 min of set up. After the game my system freezes up and I get the red ring flashing at me.....

I know someone on here fixed red ringed xbox 360's...who is it? Okay i'm done ranting

Sounds good. Thank you, I don't think this day can get any worse so I guess it can only better...I hope.

Upper right, upper left, lower left. They said its either a hard drive failure or my power supply is bad. We figured out the power supply is fine. I must say xbox support is pretty helpful, just say "speak to a representative" so you can avoid the annoying computerized voice.
They are giving me two months of free xbox live membership for free for my inconvenience, and I have my 3 month live membership running and it isn't costing me a dime to get it fixed. They also said they will most likely just replace the xbox too so I guess the black cloud has a silver lining.

I got my 4 horizontally-f'ed up wisdom teeth taken out yesterday by the oral surgeon and now my cheeks are swollen up and I look like a chipmunk.

similar story...

bought a novus CX off of RCT that suposedly had "a bad motor" turns out it was the $65 main board that was bad(more than a new heli

) called up helimax and there sending me a NIB one for free

You really have to be careful on rct. This sell really quick there though! I had my crt.5, emaxx, and slash wheels sell there in less than a week. The xbox will be shipped out to be repaired tomorrow, its gonna suck seeing the brand new modern warfare2 just sitting there, impossible to play. At least it give me more time to focus on some projects for me(xxx sct

).

the red rings on xboxes are related to components overheating.. do a quick search on youtube and theres step by step walkthroughs on how to fix it... the chances of your harddrive going bad are slim.

better to send it in and have it replaced for free. I believe microsoft is honoring all red ring failures a slong as the unit is not tampered with (AKA....the towel wrap trick)
