xbox 360 is awesome but the console is made like shit. my buddy has gone through 4 xbox already due to red light of death and unfixable disk reading errors.
go to walmart, buy another one then return that old one inside the new box. tape it up good and your good to go.

The error is caused by overheating, which is the result of malfunctioning fans and heat sinks. Overheating also causes freezing, the red ring of death and the no video problem.
Supposedly blowing out the dust from the xbox or replacing the av cable will rectify the problem.
Good luck

I had that exact problem.
Firstly Microsoft have fucked everyone with E** problems because you have to have 3 red lights to be alledgable for the 3 year warranty.
The GPU chip on your xbox is overheating and its because the gel which holds the heat sink on has gone hard and cracked. You can buy a kit on ebay to fix it yourself for cheap.
However, good luck getting into that fucker without going insane and taking a hammer to the dam thing.
I sold mine on ebay to a guy that fixes them all the time. Got a good price for it too.

you cant just go buy another one and return the old one. they have serial numbers that they check when you purchase and when you return. best bet is to call and see if it is under warranty. if it is, they will pay for shipping to and from and also they will give you a free 1 month of live for the trouble.
