FA430RGT

Aye I wander how much it costed? *searches for Marc's old thread*..

I will do in about 10 minutes because I want to be 100% sure nothing can be done by me because its going to take soo long with the whole repair deal.. Plus I have some.. Missing stickers on the console which might be a minor problem but I've just had a good friend running the whole return process with me and the 3 year extension aswell!!

Here a referance for those who don't know what the lights mean.. Made very clear for you ;) Xbox 360: Two red lights flash on the Ring of Light SYMPTOMS The two left quadrants of the Ring of Light flash red on the front of the Xbox 360 console. CAUSE This behavior occurs when the internal temperature of the console exceeds the acceptable limits. You may think of this as too hot, overheating, and so on. Xbox 360: Three red lights flash on the Ring of Light SYMPTOMS You see three lights on the Ring of Light (RoL) flash red on the front of the Xbox 360 console. The upper-right quadrant light is the only light that does not flash red. CAUSE This behavior occurs when the Xbox 360 console experiences a hardware failure. Xbox 360: Four lights flash red on the Ring of Light SYMPTOMS All four lights on the Ring of Light flash red on the front of the Xbox 360 console. CAUSE This issue may occur if one of the following conditions is true: •The audio-visual (AV) cable is not correctly connected to the Xbox 360 console. •The cable is not being detected by the console. This issue is not caused by incorrectly plugging the AV cable into a TV, a stereo, or a VCR.

Just turned the 360 on and to my horror the 3 red lights (of doom) started flashing.. I've currently using the in-famous "Towel trick" (Google it to see what I mean) and hopefully (by some miracle) the 360 will be fixed.. As I'm writing this I have noticed a few strange rather recent events whilst playing on the 360.. The most recent is whilst playing any game really the console crashes.. The screen sort of turns into a diagonal form of the game before it happened. However about and hour ago (if that) I left the 360 on and came to the computer and when I returned it had crashed on the marketplace blase (I had left it there) and it was just when I had finished a download as the little Icon saying "So and So has just been downloaded" was imprinted at the bottom and wasn't going. So like anyone else I just turned it off and left it to watch some normal TV.. Be Warned I have started shifting pictures from a little pen drive as my background wallpaper very recently and I'm not sure weather or not it ended up playing a part in the presence of the 3 Lights.. I'd say it's been about 3 minutes I've been writing this message I will write to you lot again shortly once I finish the "Towel Trick" and tell you what future actions I will have to take because of this... And all I can say is.. What a timing!! :damnit: Oh and last and probaly most important is a huge increase of useage for the pass couple of days aswell which is possibly had a factor aswell!! Also tips on what to do are nicely requested! Also past experiances would be nice.. EDIT----------- (After about 20 Minutes) Just removed the towel and and placed 360 ready to press the button. As I did the screen started up as normal for about a second at the most before cutting out and we have a result! My console is now only displaying 2 Red Lights instead of 3 (great).. I'll check back here in about 25 minutes I've just disconnected the power supply and am now letting the 360 cool down.. EDIT (x2)------------ (Aftermath) Well it appears that the internet has once again proved its worth and it seems all is well.. The temperature is back to normal it has started up and run normally before I turned it off (by choice) and I will keep in touch with this thread if problems arise).. ALSO: 1500 Post wOOt!!

:eek_blue: Umm.... :banned: Just kidding.. Nice site.. I was just hoping through Xbox.com for something new for the dashboard.. I find the market place incredibly slow!! :(

I'd turn up if I have advance warning.. Arrange something..

London 'eh? Where abouts you planning on going?

I would Ask for money (I even need like 10K) problem is that I won't pay you back because I never plan on doing any TDU races again..

Nice One!!!

Thanks for the pics (at last)..

:banned: !!

But a keyboard isn't pressure senstive and I'm going out of a limb here in saying most people play with a keyboard..

Diablo Pics please!!

Sorry dude busy..

LoL will keep that in mind when it comes to your moderating then ;) Just Joking but personally I think there is reasoning behinde your theory I mean (yes this is abit OT so beware!!) If I start a game on hard I always find it simple on Easy thinking to myself if i started easy Iwould find hard impossible

I always thought of the F430 to be more of difficult car to drift for beginners?

Thats the one! Just you tube'd it..

Well mate try the RUFs.. Personally for a newbie to drifting the RGT would be my weapon of choice ;)

Electrician? Without a job? Make your way to the flooded areas of the UK my son.. I'm sure theres plenty of work to be done there no?

My good friend.. Changing Gamertag is very easy (only cost 800 MP) However the question always is can I change my e-mail to my gamertag ;) EDIT------- Yes you can just serch the market place or checkout xbox.com I'm sorry for not being so precise but I know for a fact that you can change your Gamertag..

Yeah I watched the heroes after it.. Not bad but I can't really see what all the fuss is about.. This maybe because I'm such a huge LOST and Prison Break addict that my brain doesn't consider any other show.. Meh maybe it's just boring.. Also forgot to add does anyone know the song they were playing thoughout the whole show? I'm 99% sure it's in a film or two aswell just can't put my finger on which one!!

Gateaway is one of the best games in the (and Only game i've played on PS2).. The whole concept was/is incredible if only they could do it for the 360 :(..

LoL first time I've seen that.. Now just imgine if that really happened?

Umm it does now? Ah hah?

I take it you mean "Already" ;)
