I had my 2nd RROD on my console(no warranty ntsc-j). It's gone for good. Just picked up an original console to replace the dead one. :( (I'm broke)

 

My console RROD'd after it sat idle for 4 months. Took it out after my exams and couple of days later i'm greeted with the three rings :scratchchin:. Same thing happened to a friend of mine too..... After a significant period of non-usage the console RROD'd on him within a couple of days of usage.

 

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

hey guys... i have an unmodded xbox360 ntsc-j console... it is out of region... i got a breif RRoD today... like i switched it on and there were the the three red rings... i switched it off again and switched it on again and it started working again... does this mean that the console is dying... or was it only a one time thing due to some temporary fault like power fluctuation or something like that... can i take some sort of precaution so that it doesn't RRoD :cry::huh::doh:

no, its not the RROD

 

it happened because of a power fluctuation.....nothing wrong with the console, it'll work without any problems

 

^^ yeah when that happened there was some buzz sound coming out of my extension cord.. so i unplugged the cord then plugged it bck again and it's working now..

 

so it's not the rrod ? :(

Its not. With the RRoD, your gameplay will freeze, but the display will still remain on.

yup, its not.....if it was, your console wouldnt turn on after the first time you saw it

 

it happens a lot with me because of the stupid voltage/power fluctuations here and my console has restarted itself a lot of times coz of that but I still havent got the RROD and im on a console which was made back in mid-2006

your achievements are linked to your gamertag - so you won't have to replay them again to get them. not really sure about the refurbishing for the elite. if you do get a refurbished one you're good - because they're generally fitted with an extra heat sink and a new dvd drive making them less prone to rrod.
