  • and that is why i am trading my games in for PS3

  • did anyone notice the text "video"? ghost text lol.

  • XBOX 360 has to be the crappiest console on earth..every time i fix mine it stops working 3 days later. after a while...cracking it open, for the eleventh time become redundant

  • just get a ps3, even a used one is more reliable than a brand new 360, xbox 360's are only good for the 1st couple of years or even months and then they all start having ridiculous problems, no point in waisting time and money on a 360, ps3 is the way to go, ull never experience lame ass problems like this

  • @2iDoiT4 Except I don't want shitty online, a shitty controller, shitty games, low hardware modding functionality

  • gloopy.co.uk can fix this problem

  • @dangerMau5official That's an interesting Website. Thanks!

  • Same thing happened to me. I have a slim at my moms house (Divorced parents) but I like playing at my dads better... so now half the time i don't get one. Awesme.

  • @EkkoGaming That sucks so bad! I'm surprised this problem still occurs with the slim. I hope you can fix this problem before Skyrim comes out!

  • @BitScout

    I just reread my post and i definitely wasn\t clear. I meant that i had an arcade at my DADS ouse that broke, and the slim one at my moms is fine but I like playing at my dads better :P

  • Man this video never gets old! I got the 3 red lights last night, fixed it today but only temporarily. When I got back from dinner and tried to fire 'er up, the 3 red lights were back - bricked once more. Hopefully I can get it working tomorrow...

  • @mummyjohn Indeed, the 3 red lights are timeless like, bluejeans, Chuck Taylors and Yanni. In other words, as long as the 360 exists, so will the curse of the Red Rings.

  • i mailed mine in with $99 after me and my buddy beat the shit out of it with my baseball bat and his hammer........ they never sent it back!

  • Fuck man the same shit just happened to me like a week ago. I would play but then i started seeing the tv flickering and wat not. Then after 2 days playing like that i would turn it on and nothing would pop up it stayed black but there was sound. I thought it was either the tv or the cables but no its the shitbox

  • Anyone try the towel trick?

  • @hocky295 It's a temporary fix. In the long run, it's not going to work.

  • @hocky295 towl trick =pure fukin waste of time

  • @09keithmac Couldn't have said it better myself. :)

  • 1:26 GUN XD!!!!!

  • @ChampJump00 LOL, hellz yeah!

  • Yep iv joined the millions who have been swindled into thinking the xbox 360 is worth anything. I had my Halo edition for about 4 or 5 yrs now and finally got the RRoD, fixed it myself cause im not about to pay those idiots more money for something they shoulda had corrected long ago then after the successfull fix i get the trippy color effect going with the end result no video but sound and I'm told this isn't fixable!! WTF!! Can't believe all the add ons i bought!!!!

  • @Sprocketboy84 addons for your xbox or addons for your games because either way A you can redownload addons B if its for your xbox you sir are a nerd save the money on those pimp ass LEDs and by a KINECT edition. no bugs no crashes no overheating never had problem since bought it.

  • you know what? screw this im jsut gonna buy an Ps Triple

    AT LEAST THERE ONLY PROBLEM IS.......wait ps3 has almost no problems

    its hammer time for my xbox

  • I was lucky. My HMDI worked but my composite cable didn't.

  • there is a switch on the side of AV cable. flip it and see what happens

  • @5metalacid1 Omfg Dude Your A Fuhking Life Saver.!! THERE IS A SWITCH DUDE.!! EVERYONE IS BUYING NEW XBOXES AND TAKING IT APART AND SHIIIIT AND THERES A WHOLE FUHKING SWITCH YUU CAN FLIP TO FIX IT.!!! DUDE I LOVE YOU ( NO HOMO)

  • get ps3!!!!!!!!!

  • me to on my b-day

  • "what a piece of shit"

    my sentiments exactly, I have the same problem

  • i had the same problem

    just take it to your local electronic repair shop and they will fix it

    i got mine fixed for $60

  • towel trick, problem solved

  • just happened to me today. on my birthday D: ....

  • R.I.P MY XBOX RABECA JUNE 16,2010

  • That's how i feel about microsofts game counsels now. They are just out to get your money. Even though i dont have a ps3, ps3 must be way better than xbox 360 or microsoft!.

  • @ANIMEMIND you're right, i bought the first released ps3 here in holland, and it still works like a charm. low sound, perfect picture. free internet. this thing is awesome. NEVER broke. however i also have an xbox, i had a total of 3 xbox's, 6x rrod, 2x no image. its a worthless piece of shit. then MS sells a COOLER! to keep THEIR broken shit active. for 30 EURO'S! and it doesnt even have any effect. you're just being framed. MS ARE MONEY GRUBBING SONS OF BITCHES. REMEMBER THIS

  • yo i got a problem when i play a video on xbox live theres no sound any 1 can fix this?

  • Dammit. I had my xbox for 2 years! Then the video went out. How cruel.

  • my 360 has just done this.....microsoft are so out of order as this is a major problem (like the ring of death) yet they want to charge me £85 to fix it.....we should get them fixed for free as this is a major mess up by mr gates and co. i feel we have all been ripped off people and i for one wont take this likely and will get microsoft to fix my problem for free

  • I'm with "QuayMello"(LOL, worse than Anfernee) on this one.

    My video started distorting for like 3 days straight but it was playable. While playing today, screen went black. Turned off, then on. "Not Supported" said my AOC LCD. Turned off, then on. "No Signal" this time....GRRRRRRR. Looked online to see if Microsoft would fix, wanted 99bucks! Chyeah. So I gave in a tried the towel trick...overheated in 5 minutes! Let her cool, powered her up, ALAS! BAD COMPANY 2 HERE I COME!!!!

  • @timmyblaze hey update doiing the trick to much will cause you to get the e 74 error msg but its all good if u get that error and 1 red ring xbox will extend your warranty for repair then will give u a refurbished or new one with a one year warranty and month of xbox gold my halo 360 is on its way to texas as we speak

  • @quaymello1 update for me as well...logged in at xbox.com, noticed my warranty for 3 RROD wouldn't be up until this August. 360 started freezing at XBOX screen, then 3 RROD!!! Shipped it back to Mesquite, TX immediately! So they are going to fix it for free! WOOHOOOOOOOOO. Else I would have took it apart myself and done the X Clamp fix.

    SO, towel trick only works for about a week and then you start having problems again.

  • @timmyblaze same story lol shiped my today aswell once u get yours back add me my gt is MRxSHUTxITxDOWN i ply mw2

  • @timmyblaze @timmyblaze sam e story lol shiped my today aswell once u get yours back add me my gt is MRxSHUTxITxDOWN i ply mw2

  • i swear to god the towel trick works idk 4 how long but i just tried it and i swear it works if yours does pm me and tell me or follow me @quaymello

  • @quaymello1 worked for me too, but only for a few days though. thing is, the solding work melts which causes the chip to come off, thus RROD, when you use the towel trick you basically liquify the solding again thus re-attaching the chip. which will of course, melt off again as it did at first. basically, temporary solution. even still, i dont recommend keeping doing that as you just might overheat another crucial part without knowing

  • Mine just did this today and it was working fine last night. This is my day off and this is what happens to me. Thanks Microsoft..

  • fucking so retarded, this is my 4th fucking xbox and this is happening to me right now does anyone know how to fix

  • @ComptonG4ngsta i literally banged it out of anger, but it actually restored. my guess is, its just basically a little component also a bit loosened by overheating

  • this just happened 2 me yesterday and was bday party if anybody knows or has a video how to fix this problem please let me know please!!

  • My xbox 360 did the same thing in February! 2 days before my birthday.... Feb 13 2010 :( and i still have not gotten it fixed..

  • Happy Birthday, from Microsoft!

  • Make sure you've plugged in all the TV calbes right if you dont got a HDTV dont use the HD cabels (dunno if you already tryed) or else there can be something wrong whit your cable.

  • i have this problem except sound only comes on for 10 seconds when i change the channel

  • Awesome skull at the end :D Hilarious ending. Yeah my friend was pissed as Hell three weeks ago that his xcox died on him too xD

  • Dude just buy a new one on eBay for 60-80 bucks same thing happened to me and I just got a new one

  • dude thats EXCACTLY what happened to mine. im so fuckin pissedd

  • heheheh, good video.

  • lol, erm dude if you know how to repair the 3 rrod its basically the same thing o-o its simple fix :/ But when you over heat it your xbox besure to pull the fan out and put it on the smaller GPU heatsink thingy and ya when it 2rrod just turn it off and let it cool down boom?

  • USED of ebay but it worked for almost a year before this happened

  • mhmm happened to me .. how do i fix? i still got like 11 months live

  • Same here.... You can understand how desperate i am since i only have this xbox like for 5 days :((((

  • wow, that sucks. did you buy it new, or refurbished?

  • It's used ;(

  • @BitScout i got mine refurbished piece of shit xbox only had for bout week..

  • Just purchased X-Clamp replacement bolts from ebay for £1.75, followed youtube videos for dismantling xbox and changed Xclamps for bolts, applied new heatsink compound that came with order that was delivered free. Xbox now working perfectly, kids been playing on it all night.

  • Same exact problem with the little white dots.. i went throught two tv's and an A/V cord before i figured out the actual problem tho

  • well heres your problem, the 360 is tired of playing on a 12 inch tv

  • hahaha, finally someone commented on that. This video has been up for two years now and your the first and only to comment about that damn tv. Took you long enough.

    And no, my 360 was not tired of playing on a 12 inch tv... I was.

  • @BitScout Lmao! so true.... Back in the day though when playing sega genesis though it didn't really matter what size tv you played it on! I only had 1 game for it (sonic & knuckles) and played it almost every day trying to best my score... that game never gets old.... and there was no saving..

  • @kachunga69 well your a noob and i wont tell you why.

    nvm i will.

    the best size is about a 12-18inch hd tv.(computer moniter is the best)

  • Uh my xbox turned today... i thought me and him where going to go all the way... turns out i have no warrnty i have no fucking clue what a gpu and cpu is well uh i gusse i got to buy another xbox.... what a bunch a bull shit....

  • i have heard many times that this could be fixed by doing the x-clamp replacement and also cleaning out that old S*** on the GPU and CPU and putting Arctic Silver 5 and putting the heat sink back on with screws and rubber washers.

  • i got this on my xbox sound but no picture im really angry y do they break so easy all my friends have had to send thiers away for loads of reasons . might just buy a ps3

  • hey i got the same problem but i can fix it but only for about two to 3 hours i have got a load of broken 360s and am trying many things so if some thing works will let u know

  • Yes, please let us know. We appreciate any new info, and alternatives on fixing the 360 with out getting Microsoft involved.

  • press left+right trigger and y at the same time when turning on ur xbox.if tried it and it has worked .

  • That's a new one. I'll have to try that, thanks.

  • microsoft wont take my xbox when this happened, tried several agents, they want $120. i have the same problem

  • Thats A Beasty video..

  • Do the towel trick for the 3 RROD. It always works! If there are no more Red Ring, but theres no video, then shut off xbox, clean all cords, firmly replace them, and done. Your Xbox is fixed!

  • Microsoft get your shit together and fix our xboxs FOR FREE!!!!

  • Sorry for all the swearing but I am so fucking pissed! This Christmas I thought I had some left over money I can finally buy something for my family, and so I did, then this happened. Good job Microsoft! I'm going to chuck this piece of shit with a sticky note saying "Fuck You" attached to it into your building!

  • yea my xbox has sound and no screen i can hear it turn on but not image, can someone help me please?

  • How much would it cost to repair this? I have the same xbox prolem since a week...

    BTW I live in Canada. Also, where should I get it fixed? Future Shop or Best Buy?

    Thanks!

  • i have the same problem. anyone help me out?

  • same thing happens to me how do i fix this?

  • damn...I still dont understand why some ppl say this is their 8th Xbox and if it fucks up one more time theyre thru with MS. WTF! This is my first system fuck up and I already wanna kill Bill Gates! LOL

  • Im about to buy a fucking PS3 If Microsofts fucks me over again

  • yh i have this problem with my xbox and ive been looking fucking every where and i still don't know how to fix it or whats causing it can you or any one help

  • I'll send you a link with some information.

  • i towel tricked mine, and it worked for the 1st time i did it. but it still had fucked up graphics, so i figured "hey maybe if i turn it off and turn it back on it will work but better!" ..... WRONG. it just stopped working again. then i tried it like 3 more times and it didnt work. : /

    btw i felt really stupid after figuring out u can just pry the damn case off when u get to the upper and bottom part, cuz i spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. lol

  • This is fucked up no vid but sound this is my second 360! why do they break so easily??? send me a messege if you know how to fix

  • when i had E74 i didnt use the towel trick. i just put two cutips in a couple holes in the back of the xbox. and it reset itself. but that will probably work for no video.

  • I love how MS dicks its customers down with no vasoline, then constantly switch up warranty expectations like a cruel bitch of a german-girlfriend. Man Im not putting up with the next system they buy if all im gonna get is someone from another country, condescending me when I already ran analysis twice before calling. FUCK YOU! YOU PUT A GAME IN AND SEE IF IT COMES UP!

  • @BadVibeXIII i am not exaggerating in the slightest when i say that i have never laughed harder at any other comment in my life

  • same shit for me no vid

  • if anyone knows if the towel trick works for the no video thingy

  • Yah it actually does but only for a while.

  • I towel tricked mine and it's working now

  • towel trick is bad for your xbox, you get this error as well as RROD from HEAT, so over heating your xbox can cause damage to your xbox's motherboard, what you need to fix the no video with sound is thermal paste ($10.69 USD) from best buy, Torx 10, 9 (core/pro) or Torx 8(elite/halo edition) possibly a 7 for elite not sure. anyways you open your xbox and take out the motherboard replace the thermal paste, let it heat up w/o fan cover and then cool down. takes maybe 30 minutes at most

  • wait, you had the no video error and you towled tricked it and it worked?? -message me back asap plzzzzzz

  • yeah i had this problem and i really wanna play my 360 man wtf is wrong with it shit man microsoft sucks ass im gonna get a PS3

  • my life fucking sucks and my xbox was the only thing that took me away from that sucky ass world and now my life lays this shit on me what the fuck when is it my turn to have something i want.

  • Mine's the same way. Microsoft dicked me over AGAIN.

    The only thing i want to do is play some fucking call of duty. My life is very fuckin stressful and when i get home, the only thing i want to do is play some fucking video games for one hour, NOW this shit happens to me, i just can't understand.

  • welcome to my world and the on where microsoft fucks you over real bad

  • I don't think there's a man, women or child that hasn't been fucked over by this product.

    Hopfully, the PS3 doesn't suck like the xbox did.

  • Brutal. I was playing cod 5 earlier today and I thought the colour was funny. everything was getting a weird tint of blue. I went out, came back home and now this happened to me. no picture. just sound.

  • Same Thing but it turned from green to blue

  • this shit happened to me a few weeks ago. i have been debating on what todo about it. i fucking hate microsoft, those jackels have enough fucking money! my super nintendo still works great after all these years, but my 2 year old xbox breaks like a god damn swiss car.

  • lol, as you can see... I feel your pain. Super Nintendo was built like a tank but, the Xbox 306 runs more like one. Because, the Super Nintendo has no moving parts it will last longer. But then again, my 3DO is still working so, Microsoft has no excuses.

  • Fcking Microsoft! SHOULD BE A SHAMED!!

    Copy if you think so to!

  • oh wait i guess two weeks ago

  • this happened to me, a week ago you can see where i commented on this same video, and i used the towel trick on it yesterday and right now im playing halo, on the very same xbox. i dont know how long it will last but all i know is i dont care. my warranty is out and i sure as heck am not buying another one, so i'll keep doing the towel trick as many times as i have to

  • THATS WHAT MY XBOX DOES ive only had it a year! it starts up fine with sound but leaves dots all over screen and info on whats up with it / repair?

  • yeah dont do the towel trick too many times(ive done it like 5 times w/ a penny fix) , its what causes the no video problem

  • shit just happened to me 2 weeks after i tried penny fix for RROD was working great and now now video im buying a new one switchin the cases and returning this broken shit up yours microsoft

  • i have found a way firslty u need to unplug HD and put your HDTV cable and set it to tv and plug in your red white and yellow cables leaving the other ones unpluged seconldy turn on your console and wrap it around your xbox making sure the fan gets coverd thirdly leave it for 15 to 30 mins and let it get rrod once this happend turn off unwrapp it and leave for 5 mins to cool turn back on xbox and it shuld work and then you can even chagne it back to HDTV if u feel comfortable thanks

  • ah man my xbox literally just did this. I was bustin out some cod 4 and then the screen like had a tinge of green and yellow color, so i rebooted it and here i am :( not knowing what to do

  • yeah me too. i was playing an arcade game, and the screen looked like the green levels were going up and down, i shut it off, and flatline....

  • yup. happend to me mate. 1 lvl of l4d off an achievement. screen went all green i was like ffs boomer got me... then it went blue... i rebooted it then here i am screens all dotty n shit

  • Yep, exact same problem here. Mine has been Xclamp fixed already so that won't solve the problem. We are SOL. Great video !

  • Thank you, and thanks for your comment!

  • the video chip is fired thats whtas wrong

  • Well, looks like you solved the mystery. Now let Microsoft know and we are back in business.

  • I got the Ps3 and i plugged in a HDMI cabel and chosed 1080(Best Quality) AND THEN ITS NO FUCKING SOUND!

    Help me or teach me the fucking towel trick!

  • The problem is that with the towel trick that the 2 points that reaching eachother to start the xbox has been overheat and has melted off. when you let your xbox in a towel an let it on for about 15 min it will be very hot.

    Then they say yuo gotta do it in a freezer and it will stick to eachother again but when you keep it in tthe freezer , trust me the xbox will be more fucked up.

  • just happened to me rite now how to do the towel trick?

  • dont do the towel trick it will mess it up more trust me i tried it

  • i have the same problem just use the towel trick that should do it for like a week or so then u need to keep on doing the towel trick.. its annoying but works! :)

  • i have the same freaking problem, no video!!

  • those white dots were the same thing that happened on my tv...

  • same hear its annoying

  • its like the xbox is desind to brack right in the gpu chip solders crap fans suckin backwords what the fuck wur day thinking

    bring doun ms.

  • is it possible that my av cable jus fucked up?

  • possible but not likely,

    i have the same damn issue, so to test out if it was the cable/resolution/tv i decided to borrow a friends av cable.

    still, no, video :(

  • I agree with tommeeeh. My friend and I did the same thing. It was worth a shot but, still no luck.

  • If my warranty is expired you think i should wrap my xbox in towels on purpose to let it overheat till i see three rings

    then i could send it in to get fixed for free? what do you think??

  • If your warranty is expired, then how are you going to get it fixed for free?

  • Don't they have an extended warranty only for the "Three Red Lights"

    My original warranty has expired but I think for that specific error you could get it fixed for free

  • For the three red lights they extended the warranty to three years.

    So yes, you can send it in.

  • does the towel trick fix it?

  • The towel trick is a temporary fix. It may get your 360 working for 15 minutes to a day.

    It might be worth it, if you want to get a few more kills in Call of Duty before you kiss it goodbye.

    You know, go out with a bang!

  • I just tried the towel trick and it didnt give 2 red lights it just shut off and i turned it back on and its still not workin

  • I've heard both sides... some times the trick works, some times it doesn't.

    Either way, no one should have to do more than just plug it in to the wall to get it working.

    Don't get my wrong, I love my 360... when it works.

    Send it in to Microsoft for repair, and hope they don't take another royal dump on it.

  • lol mines doing the same and i said the same what apice of shit

  • i sent my xbox to microsoft to fix this problem 5 fucking months ago and they say its in transit...my arse! the bastards should send me a new one

  • Mine does this

  • lol youtube always was corprate its just a branch of google

    as for 360 fix give sony a call they could prob fix the 360 better than microsoft could

  • lol, the xbox has sound but no video but this video has video and no sound.

  • yup just got the same problem.. this problem is actually along the same lines as the RROD as it is most likely the GPU and/or the CPU. just google -xbox 360 no video- and look at the first couple of links. there are ways of fixing it yourself for about $30 (usd). way cheaper than sending it to microsoft with a void warranty or buying a new console.

  • Damn that happend 2 me I miss playing online :(

    sad gamertag:TrueAlucard91

  • mine just got this this morning...fuck. I honestly done want to deal with microsoft and their non english speaking idiots. so i may be in the market for a ps3 sometime. But what do i do with my old 360 console that doesnt work?

  • Ok, this happened to me yesterday and from google search and youtube I have decided that its less hassle to just buy a new one but heres my question.

    I have a 20gb 360, so I have all the hd cables bigger hard drive etc, so can I buy an XBOX Arcade and use my old cables and old hard drive?

    Please help.

    P.S. This same console already had the red ring of death and was fixed and now this. When the 720 and PS4 come out I know which one im getting!

  • Hey DEECEE20,

    Yes you can use your old cables and hard drive on the XBox arcade bundle.

  • Thank you so much.

  • this happened to me yesterday 3 weeks b4 warranty is up right, and xbox are fuckin adamant that were wrong and that the warranty is up so now we gotta send them the recipt and wait 2 days, by the the time they even bother to reply thewarranty probably will run out. Thx microsoft u con artist sons of bitches. (PS sorry for ranting on ure video i'm jus peeved 90% of my Birthday presents ave gon down the drain)

  • We understand your pain and, totally agree with what you have to say.

    PS that's what the video is here for.

    Thanks for your comment.

  • this suks mine broke early jan this year and microsoft said u need £60 to send it off ... then i asked game in UK and they said u dont have to do that ... (i gets worse0 you have to buy a new one :@

  • dude its not the cord dont waste ur money i bought a new cord thats not the problem

    i bought 3 different cords from 3 different brands

    philips, microsoft, madcatz

  • This happened to me too. DIE MICROSOFT

  • Im so angry. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR THEIR MISTAKE?? I FUCKING HATE MICROSOFT.  BURN IN HELL. p.s. if anyone knows any tricks to fix this easily, message me please!

  • towel trick will work on the (no picute and sound, and or white lines) for some its tempry, for others it lasts weeks. And once you learn a bit more, the x-clamp fix will do it permantly

  • After 2 years of faithful service with an older Xbox, I don't get a red ring of death, but this crap! Oh well, it was bound to break sooner or later...

  • Happened to me too. Was playing Call of Duty 2 and noticed the colors were changing to green and red. Reset the 360 and the video wasn't showing up but I could hear the audio. Sent it off last week and still under warranty... so hopefully will come back soon!

  • wtf mannng it happend to me yesternight fucccck what the hell???? piece of arrrrg, my warranty also ended godddaaammmnit!!

  • This Audio no Video happened to me FIVE DAYS after I bought a used one on eBay...the company that sold it to me said just send it back to us, and we will give you a new one.

    Hilarious video though...`What a piece o shit --- Aughhhh!`

  • This Happend With Me..No red Rings Tho. I tried Everything Possible, So Im Senden It In Getten it Fix Which Out Her Takes 2 Weeks To Get Sent Back. Then Sellen it All For 400 And Buyen the PS3.

  • this just happened to me, but i plan on sending it in instead of saving it myself...

  • happend to me aswell.

    my advice is to overheat your xbox (wet towl around fan and leave it on for a couple hours) then send it to microsoft for free red ring repair.

  • it got stuffed when i just got far cry 2

  • i know whats wrong but i dont no a fix.. the xbox doesnt sync to the tv. my xbox has this problem too. and my warennty is up mother truckers!
