On 6/20 at around 10:00pm my brand new Xbox 360 Slim shut off while watching netflix. After looking into the problem the 360 was dead and wouldn’t power on. I found the new power brick to have a red light. UPDATE: 6/21 After speaking with Microsoft they opened an order for me to send it to them. Concluding that it had to be the Console itself, because we had tried 2 different power supplies and both Red Lighted. But the same 2 power supplies would work on my friends new 360 model S. They could not expedite the process and would take 2 to 3 weeks. As well they would not compensate me for any frustration which I’m ok with now but because of the bad PR I would’ve thought they be willing to make a loyal customer happy. I did inform them that I would be documenting the hardware failure on youtube and anywhere I could get it published. That didn’t help to make them move things along any faster. She advised me to check with my local retailer Game Stop where I purchased it from and see if they could do a system Swap. I advised I would check but since I had searched for 2 systems over the weekend in a 30 mile radius most places were out of stock and had told me that they didn’t know when they would be getting anymore back in and the only thing I could do was check day to day. On Monday morning my local game stop manager spoke with their district manager after I informed her of what had gone on. The DM found a store who had just gotten a new one in stock. They held it for me until …
Apparently even with the new Xbox 360 “slim” , disc scratch errors are still present. I wonder if M$ fixed rrod or E-74, and many other hardware failures associated with the Xbox 360? Remember disc scratch errors doesn’t occurs on Wii, PS3,laptops,dvd/blu-ray players or even 10 years old portable cd players. Even with the new redesign, errors/problems from older models are still present, so there is no need to upgrade to the Xbox Valhalla 360 250gb , and fanboys please stop defending M$.

This is how to fix your xbox live connection problems for joining parties and connecting to games. Hopefully this fixes it for you, but if not and you need help just leave a comment and ill try to reply and help. I’ll try to make more helpful videos in the future.
CHECK MY UPDATE FOR HOW THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED ———- got this when i turned on my 360 a min ago (second 360 [first got rrod]) green light is fine though but as you can see theres deffinately something wrong and i have checked all the wires are connected properly UPDATE: Having played with it some more. unplugging, re-plugging cables etc it still didn’t work but i kept at it and eventually it started working again. So i guess the cables may be getting a bit old. particulary check the hdtv/sd switch on the part of the cable that goes in your 360. So if anyone else has this problem just keep checking your cables, perhaps borrow a mates or something but it seems this isn’t a major problem. Hope this helps
This is how to set up and use your EasyCap. The version I am using to show you is the DC60, but that does not matter. Any version of an EasyCap will do, as long as it has USB 2.0. NEEDS: – EasyCap – The software that came with the device (for Ulead Video Studio and drivers) – Xbox 360 Component Cables – Computer – 3-Way Coupler (optional / if needed) – Male to Male Component Cables (optional / if needed) IF THE COMPONENT CABLES DO NOT REACH TO YOUR TV AFTER PLUGGING IN THE XBOX S-VIDEO TO THE EASYCAP, PLEASE VIEW THIS VIDEO: (I am sorry, the video is not ready. I will have the link as soon as it is uploaded. Please leave a comment if you really need the video soon.) I am sorry for not rendering this video in 720p. The file was too large. Thank you. HERE IS A DIAGRAM FOR THE SETUP: i864.photobucket.com This also works for PS3 and other systems that have component cables. I have even gotten it to work on a PS2, Wii and the original Xbox! Here is where you buy one! www.amazon.com
