:mad:

Played COD4 for just a couple minutes and the video started freezing up, then I got the red ring of death (3 red lights), just trying to turn the 360 on. This sux, already sent it back once.

    I had the RRoD appear when I relocated my console from one cabinet to another. Originally it was horizontal. The new place it was vertical and that's when I started getting the RRoD after a few minutes. Suffered for a few weeks, then finally gave in and was about to call for support, when I tried to put it back to the horizintal position, and I haven't had the RRoD again yet (knock on LSi Wood).

    What the hey can't hurt to try right?

    Finally sent it in today. As soon as the UPS lady saw the label she knew it was an xbox 360. I said 'I bet you've seen a lot of these over the last couple years' and she replied, 'we still have 10 to 14 go through here a week' :eek:

    Yeah... for the record, since my last post in this thread, my non-heatpiped Core system died. So I'm on number 11 now. The Premium's still rock solid though.

    The good news is this: Every other system they've sent me was a new serial number, meaning I just ended up with someone else's system that was refurbished. This time, I got the same serial number back... but when I hooked it up to my network, it had a different MAC address. That means they replaced the motherboard completely. Same system, completely different guts. Hopefully you'll have the same luck.
