Much like all of you, I own an Xbox 360, and was very happy with my purchase. However, this morning during a casual match of Domination on Call of Duty 4, that all changed. This wasn't any ordinary match, for I had just unlocked the Red Tiger camo for my AK47, and was excited to see what it looked like. As the match countdown started, I could just see my newly acquired beauty behind the shadow that covers the screen before the match starts. Then, as the darkness faded away, and my comrade shouted "TAKE NO PRISONERS COMRA---"....This happened.


Not my image, just a representation

The screen froze, and looked like a quadrilateral-afied mess. And sure enough, when I reset the console, the inevitable happened.



Unfortunately, I didn't unlock 80 gamer score, and neither is it the end of our story. No, my Xbox refuses to die. Rather than go down gracefully, admitting defeat, it now won't show the Red glow, but opts rather to boot up, work for 2 minutes, then freeze.
It even, at one point in its mad near death rage showed me one red light, stating a E71 code, but that has now gone also.

Most annoying part of all is that I start college in like, 2-3 weeks, and i wanted to get some gaming in before then seems as I'm on Summer break. Not only that but my copy of Soul Calibur 4 comes tomorrow, which is just a further kick in the peen.

This just makes it hard, because if I send it in, I cant say it has the RRoD, because it wont show it any more. When it gets to the repair shop, won't they just turn it on, see it working and send it back? This is the wrong thing to say, but is there a way to force it permanently red ring?

Halp fellow Dtoiders?
