I tried overheating it till it gets 2 red rings (the system idles after that). smacking the bottom of the unit hard as i can. and shaking it as hard as i can but the stupid thing works. does anyone got a fast way that i can red ring my xbox?

do you have one made after april of this year? if so forget about it. Id just explain that theres a problem with your console and ask for an exchange.

And that's fine. You can still get a refurbished one through MS if you just fill out the form and tell them that it's been RRoD'ing off and on and you don't have time to deal with it. Because really you don't.

Or just do what you're doing and keep the thing on for days til it eventually goes out on you.

idk. i guess it would save them more money by putting the new chips in the refurbished units so they won't have to pay for shipping if the refurbished units breaking down. i hope this makes sense i have been up for 48 hours and im kinda tired.

its free since i had it less than a year. they wanted to say it was my hard drive but i told them it was still freezing when i only had memory cards. it seems that those lite-on drives are a pile of crap. also i found out that walmart wont let me take any consoles back since i return a ps2, ds lite, ps3 the same week a few months ago.

WOW I wouldn't let you use your own money in my store.

WTF do you do to your stuff? You obviously can't handle having a car, I can tell you that much. If you can't even take care of a ps2 something is definetly wrong with you. lol omgosh.
