Xbox 360 died.............AGAIN

[petrolhead76]

So my xbox 360 died again for the 3rd time. So its now being shipped to Microsofts repair centre.

First time DVD drive stopped working, second time got the dreaded 4 red lights and now the damn thing just won't switch on first time.

So any ideas on how long it will take to get my console back ?

I cannot remember how long the other two occassions took as I had a substitute console so didn't really think about it, but now I've got nothing.

Mine was a pretty quick turn-around; within a week IIRC

I have just had a very strong feeling of deja vu - did I not read this same thread about 2 months ago?

Quite a few people have tried to fix it them selves, link

What, than spamming the forums? People have been banned for less. At least trolls are funny.

I am not a troll, met many people from here, helped lots of people as well.

Not something I do often, posted it on 5-8 threads, not exactly the worlds leading "spammer".

You keep it up, you one man army you. Party pooper

I was speaking to someone the otherday who said he goes round buying broken XBOX 360's as the faulty part inside is the BGA on the PCB. Ball grid arrays are tricky things to flow solder correctly onto boards as you can get areas of thermal mis-match, cold spots and poorly flowed balls on the device etc. I would assume he just reworks the terminations etc. Nice little business

BTW Tampon, I didn't accuse you of being a troll. Like I said, sometimes trolls are funny
