RFL: Bad news -- Red Ring of Death

Kodos · 02-14-2009, 01:46 PM

Yep. My console got the dreaded RROD today.

Taking out wires and reinserting did not fix the problem. Nor did taking off the hard drive. Looks like we are in for a break...

Pumpy Tudors · 02-14-2009, 01:51 PM

Damn, that sucks. Well, good luck getting everything fixed. I remember when it happened to me over a year ago. I was devastated. Here's hoping you get it replaced/repaired without hassle.

Sun Tzu · 02-14-2009, 02:07 PM

Definitely shitty man. Where did you get your unit? Do we know if we have to backup the league file from your computer, or if the one that is saved on EA's servers is the only one that matters?

Kodos · 02-14-2009, 02:42 PM

I backed up on my harddrive before advancing to week 4. I believe I got my unit at Target. Not sure why I didn't do Best Buy with the replacement plan, but alas.

I think the file should still be on EA's servers.

Radii · 02-14-2009, 02:56 PM

damn, that sucks Kodos

Hope it can be easily resolved.

DeToxRox · 02-14-2009, 06:22 PM

Guess that will teach you to make fun of me

Kodos · 02-14-2009, 06:52 PM

Lesson learned!

Galaxy · 02-14-2009, 06:55 PM

See, God doesn't like it when you mess with his team (Notre Dame).

Kodos · 02-14-2009, 07:14 PM

Throws up.

These must be the years where God forsakes Notre Dame.

kcchief19 · 02-14-2009, 09:05 PM

Mine got returned to me pretty quickly when I got my RROD. I understand your devastation.

Mike1409 · 02-14-2009, 10:12 PM

Did you try the towel trick?

Kodos · 02-15-2009, 12:08 AM

Nah. Don't feel like messing with it. Would rather just get it fixed.

Kodos · 02-16-2009, 12:12 PM

UPS'd it out this morning. Hopefully the wait won't be too long.

Kodos · 02-21-2009, 10:27 AM

The Xbox site says the repair is in progress now. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Sun Tzu · 02-22-2009, 10:49 AM

Well, I'm in Vegas thru Tuesday night anyway. Take your time

You know what's in Vegas?

Sun Tzu · 02-22-2009, 09:04 PM

No, what's in Vegas? Other than a lot of alcohol and women in hardly any clothing at all.

Kodos · 02-23-2009, 05:04 PM

The site says it has been repaired and is being shipped. So maybe it will be back later this week.

Galaxy · 02-23-2009, 05:29 PM

That's pretty quick.

Sun Tzu · 02-23-2009, 11:31 PM

Galaxy · 02-25-2009, 07:39 PM

Any update on the shipping process yet?

Kodos · 02-26-2009, 12:12 AM

It's in New Stanton PA right now.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-27-2009, 01:14 AM

That's about 10 minutes from my house. I'll go get it.

Kodos · 02-27-2009, 09:36 AM

Looks like it may be delivered today. If so, I may be able to get my game in tonight and get us back in business.
