It started up fine,and i was doing the update.I came back 5 min later and the screen had gone off and its just flashing the red light now.

My launch day 360 is still going strong though:rolleyes:

Am i doing anything wrong or is it dead?

Unlucky!!
 
Should try and see if you can get anything extra out of Sony or ASDA, as it was a Xmas Present and the upset it has caused. Never know they might chuck in a free game or some sort of vouchers...

You should have just swapped with the retailer tbh. So you are guaranteed a brand new console. You may get a refurb from Sony (nothing wrong with refurbs, but to get one 3 days after you have a brand spanking new present would annoy me).

The second guy i spoke to was really helpful,and said it would be a brand new console.The Asda they bought it from don't open till the 27th and it is the next town so i don't mind waiting an extra day.

Plus the fact that we have no receipt to give them.Either we didn't get one or it has been thrown away(which i can't see happening).

One question though,i have a component cable that i use with the PS2.Will this work or will i need a new one.My LCD doesn't have HDMI.

It would only be a refurb 60gb, a brand new 40gb.

Any cables from PS2 work as the same AV port is used between the 2 consoles.
So, yes, your component cable will work.
