Big 360 Prob

jimmyob · 12 Jul 2006 at 12:40

Just turned on my 360, tried to connect a controller and the lights on the controller just flashed (all 4 segments at the same time), tried other controllers and it was the same. Absolutely nothing has changed since i used it last night.
When i tried to press the connect buttons on the controller and console the power button went completely red.
I turned it off, tried to turn it back on, but it wont.
I've turn it off and on at the mains and nothing happens.
Anyone got any hints?
I have a feeling it's buggered.
Thanks,
Jim

Sounds potentiall a problem. Have a look in the Xbox FAQ in my sig and see if the lights match with any part of the bit hilly added.

Disconnect everything, including the back of the TV and Xbox 360, then reassemble. That may or may not help though, depends if a hardware failure has occured.

It's dead. Take it back or get on the blower to MS.

Right, i tried unplugging everything again, and now it seems to be working?
Does this mean it's fine or is it pretty likely that it'll fail sometime in the furture?

mine did that, and failed after 45 mins, get it replaced

My first one would randomly give 3 red lights. To be honest, because it was under warranty for another 11 months I sort of lived with it in the short term.

Then the next day, nothing, dead!

Phoned MS, had a new one within a week!
