Title says it all, I need help, I've had an x box 360 for about 3+ years, never had a problem with it until today. I just went to start a new campaign in Call of Duty World at War on veteran difficulty. I was going through the preview video before the first mission "Semper Fi" i believe is the name for it. Just when it entered the title screen, black screen with just the title written on it, when all of a sudden black and white blocks appeared. It made the noise of a tv when you lose your signal and the blocks kind of reminded me of it. No matter what button I hit on my controller nothing changed. When I went to go and hit the power button on the xbox 3 of the four controller buttons (part of the ring, where blinking red. I hit the power button anyway and now when I hit the power on the xbox or holding down the controller power button the xbox begins to turn on then after about 30-40 seconds the red dots come back.

I wanted to know if this was the "ring of death" problem Ive heard about and or if not, what is my problem? Hopefully someone here will know I do plan on calling microsoft but for now I hope to find some luck here.
 
If all 4 rings are flashing red then it is not the red ring of death. That happens when one of the plugs in unpluged. If 3 rings appear then it is the red ring of death. 2 red rings means it just overheated. Mine overheates a lot. Your power supply might have gone out.
 
Oh yea I missed the part where you had 3 parts of the ring. It is the red ring of death. File a support ticket on xbox.com and they will fix it for free.

It is fine, you will send it in and you will be without xbox for a few weeks and they will send it back good as new. Just make sure you don't send any custom faceplates or your hard drive.
 
xbox just loaded? brought me to my xbox 360 live menu and is loading my game right now? and is reloading me to Duty right now.....
 
i just got one red ring and i tried thei r trouble shooting thind but it didnt work if you call them they will send you a box to send your xbox to them....its all paid for by them...the guy i talked to said it should take like 2 weeks overall
 
Damn just did it again after i got 1/10 of the way through the mission! :(
 
Thanks, that really sucks. Do I have to do it online or can I call microsoft to put in my claim. I would rather do stuff like this on the phone so they know that I'm mad and I feel a bit safer doing it that way.
 
i would so it on the phone but hurry up because there is only a 3 year warantee.....or they wont pay for it
 
also make sure ure 360 isnt moded b4 u send it in . just to be on the safe side.
