Stew Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm currently typing through the tears as my xbox just crapped out 5 minutes into my second forza 2 outing... The ring round the on switch is flashing red and nothing else i happening. I've tried it with a few other games and the same happens. Anyone have any ideas?

Well its a Microsoft product, so have you tried the rebooting option? Sorry, thats not really helping..... but take it you tried completely powering it off (seeing as you can't CTRL, ALT & DEL it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I has the three lights problem. I had a look on the net and amidst the porn spam and other crap it seems it's a big repair. It's under warranty so I guess I'll send it to the xbox fixers. I might buy myself a wii to fill the gap while it's away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 BTW, I was going to ask this anywya..... but is Forza good enough in itself to make me buy an X-Box??? I have a PS2 that i've used about twice! so thats brand new sat there gathering dust, but with all you going on about it.... and I've just seen the new TV ad where the 350z gets a starring role....... should I buy one? And how much can I pick one up for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 It's good. I don't play games console often but like the 360. Forza is ace. You can get a base one for about 150 quid these days. I don't play online or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't play online or anything. Can't really help apart from tell you to leave it off for 30 secs and then restart it. My mates XBOX has just been sent off for repair too, been about 2-3 weeks and he's still not heard anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 forza 2 is the dogs danglies mark especially live. Stew I know someone who can fix them. I'll pm him and see if he will do it . The only thing is that he's based in Nottingham so postage could be a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 it might be the power supply (the brick) me mates died on his after 4 months, he did swap JUST the machine first but had the same problem so swapped the brick and it's been ok for months if it's within warranty take it back to the shop you brought it from they should swap it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza2 has been made with the steering wheel in mind and all the bumps in the road are accurately fed back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluffy Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm currently typing through the tears as my xbox just crapped out 5 minutes into my second forza 2 outing... The ring round the on switch is flashing red and nothing else i happening. I've tried it with a few other games and the same happens. Anyone have any ideas? How many of the quadrants in the circle are red? If all 4 are red then apparently its only The A/V cable is either not properly connected to the Xbox 360 system, or is not being detected. If its 3 then there is some sort of hardware failure. My cousin had this problem, apparently quite common, he got it repaired but didnt work.

Chris`I Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 As the others have said, if its 4 lights then its just the AV cable, but 3 lights is known as Ring of Death! If its under warrenty take it back and get it replaced. I've heard of loads of people taking them back to PC World, Currys etc and get a straight replacement. Need to look into geting my 360 online and playing with everyone, but no gold membership atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Well the xbox will be getting repaired. It has the dreaded 3 lights. I bought myself a Wii to cheer me up. It's possibly the most fun you can have (a) with your clothes on ( with no Zed involved. What a laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
