I also switched from HDTV to SD on the cable, but nothing works.

My first 360 died the same way, was showing an image all day, turned it off, came back an hour later and the thing stopped putting out an image over any cable I tried, had to send it indk_ said:Tried that, but I can't reset anything.

So should I try these "fixes" (heat sink compound and screws) or just get a new one? The bad thing is I just got a hard drive upgrade a month ago. I'd like to buy an older Xbox and use that drive.

Blatz said:I hear you, but the mainboard looks brand new. I should be able to see a failed solder joint, right?
LosDaddie said:Look around your town for electronic places that fix things. There's a shop near my house that fixes X360/PS3/Wii/iPhone for, I think, $35. Or look on Craig's List for people doing repairs. I've seen ads for people offering to fix consoles for $30
My X360 (#4) is running fine these days, but if it dies again, it will be out of warranty.

Leonsito said:So they finally send me another Xbox, I plugged it, downloaded the update and logged on my GT, I put to download two codes I had (Crackdown 2 avatar helicopter and a code for Kinect Adventures) and I got this message on the download queue:
Assigned to Another Console
So I just selected each one and forced them to download, everything went ok but it left me worried.
I just booted up an arcade game (Sonic 1) and it showed as the demo version, I went to the unlock full game, re-downloaded and now everything if fine, but I have a couple of questions:
Does this mean that my licenses haven't been transferred to this new Xbox ?
I went to the Microsoft license transfer site but only one console ID showed up, so it's correct to assume that the licenses are transferred but I will have to re-download everything again ?
Edit: Fuck, I disconnected from Live and all of my arcade games changed to demo version ... -_-
Psychotext said:I'd suggest trying it plugged into a different socket, or a different surge protector if you're using one. Power fluctuations are well known to cause temporary RRoD.
Unregistered007 said:use the License Transfer Tool or call MS to change it for you.

I don't know about tricks but never buy a used 360. Ever. Get the Slim.mikespit1200 said:Great, looks like I'm getting the E74 blinking red error. My xbox is out of warranty and MS wants $120 to repair it. Are there any tricks I should try before I go and buy a refurb at gamestop or a new slim?
