Title: My Xbox shit out again.
Post by: hotlikesauce. on December 26, 2008, 01:51:14 PM
I got one red light flashing and an E 71 error message. They told me to send it in, and I printed out the label.

but I decided to do the towel trick. The idea is that it resets the chips, so maybe that'll fix my box. If not, I've nothing to lose.


Did anyone elses Xbox shit out recently?

So now since I got it back I've been going ape shit on my xbox.

I've gotten one red ring once, and then my Xbox couldn't read discs. They replaced the red ringed Xbox and barely a month later it stopped reading discs.

I've had mine since the release day and have no trouble at all with it. Then again I hardly ever played it except when Halo 3 came out...

You should make a book called "Rules of the Internet". Because anyone who doesn't do exactly as YOU say is clearly a retard.

Vista isn't that bad when you have hardware to run it.







Wait Ultimate is like $200, I paid 10 for the 5set blank DVD-RW's :3

same to you

vista = NT6.0


Anyway try holding the sync button while turning the console on, and make sure it boots up all the way before releasing it

E 71 is something related to dashboard update errors, not hardware failure.
Holding the sync button until it completely boots up (after the 360 logo) erases the failed updates so you can download them again or play normally


also that's not how the towel trick works
