Mass Effect Killed My Second 360.....

Well yeah, pretty much. My second 360 is now dead, and I am genuinely pissed off.

I know it isn't Mass Effect, but you know how people love to blame the games when the problem is the AWFUL hardware. Honestly, MS should be rather embarrassed at this problem, they are way too stupid not being able to fix this, how are they planning to make a profit?

I have a question though, have they ever find out what the problem is?

And also, they told me to send the power brick (yes, the guy called it that), and I'll be getting a different (I suppose) power brick? Is this part of the problem?

I was 4hrs into Mass Effect and then it simply froze, reboot, saw the lights, and I was like "Shit, not again!"

Well, the thing is that your 360 will probably die before the warranty expires.

I saw pictures of a 360 with a huge heatsink, was that real, is that really going out there?

New 360s available consume less power and a better heatsink and 65nm cpu.

Got my nephew a 360 arcade for his birthday, but seeing as how he wont have need for a 360 with hdmi I switched it with my 360 premium manufactured late 2006. Note my old 360 premium CANNOT power on using the powerbrick from my new 360 arcade. Not enough power is going to the console because the new powerbrick doesn't put out as much power as the old ones.

Very Interesting!

LEbato, So sorry to heat what happened to your console mate
. Hope you get it back soon enough.

What they did to mine is install a new heat sink and the console is working fine ever since and DOESNT HEAT UP a lot like it used to. it basically funstions normally now.

Well that depends on where the red lights are.

Normally if they HDD isn't plugged in right or the cable have come lose the it will only be one red light flashing, had it happen to me quite often, each time my heart has jumped out of my mouth.

If its a motherboard fault its normally sections 1,2 and 3 light up (from what i remember) at which point its pretty much screwed.

whoa whoa whoa here.

So they are already manufacturing 65nm? Basically that's all that's coming out now? I didn't know that. So now they call them 360 arcade or what?

Also, I suppose that is the reason they told me to send in the power supply too?

So do you think I'll be getting one of the new 360s? 65nm with HDMI maybe?

Man, that's too many questions. I'm just hoping they get me something more reliable.

How do you know all this? lol. Honestly, do you know for a fact they installed a new heatsink? Did they ask you to send in the power supply too?

LOL, Did I try that? Like a thousand times, I think that's basic instinct :P

I'd say yours' life time is counted though :(

Well, why would they need my power supply though? It was working fine.

Well, I don't know, I'm just hoping they are not stupid enough to give me yet another sentenced 360, it's bad for them and for me. I guess we'll know a month from now :(

There are a couple of subtly different power supplies for the existing 360 models. Nothing major but they don't like to mix and match.

Still I wouldn't rule it out.

65nm CPU 360's (i.e. Falcon) are out in the wild. You can tell by the lot number amongst other things as well as looking through the air vents if you've good eyes! Check out Xbox-scene for a guide when you get it back.

Yeah, I was looking for that info. I'll update whenever I get my box back.

As far as I read, there are three major motherboards out there. The original, another one, and the one with the 65nm CPU, different heatsink, and extra one for the GPU. Until then I guess, we'll see.

Ok I got it back.

I didn't get a Falcon board, deftangel's fault for sure.

I did not get a Zephyr board either.

I got an original board. I would be very pissed off if it weren't for the fact that I at least got the improved cooling which (PLEASE!!!!) hopefully fixes this embarrassing problem.

So basically, my board looks like this, with the extra heatsink for the GPU, yet still with the old CPU heatsink.

We'll see then, good luck everyone, and if you have a launch 360 it is just a matter of time.
