Xbox - 3 Lights of Death

Xboxic http://www.xboxic.com/news/3047

We all fear the day that the dreaded 3 Lights of Death
http://doiop.com/3_lod will show up on our own beloved 360s. We all
know somebody with a Xbox 360 that suffered the blinking red lights of
death. Although Microsoft never officially acknowledged the hardware
problems there is clearly a problem with 360s dying. And as of today,
it seems Microsoft is secretly working on a fix.

Today, Logic Sunrise http://doiop.com/k25id4 received a email from
their contact close to Microsoft with some spicy new details about a
new Xbox 360 cooling setup. Supposedly Microsoft added a secondary
heatsink, next to the DVD-drive, that’s connected to the GPU’s
heatsink. This way they are sure to spread the heat more and try to
prevent the 360’s from overheating and causing the 3 LoD.

...it would be a logical step by Microsoft to fix the dreaded 3 LoD
problem that already put so many 360’s to the Microsoft Repair Centre.
So if Microsoft says there isn’t a problem with the hardware design of
the Xbox 360 why are they adding another heatsink?

Comments:

(1) Because Microsoft constantly spreads the mushroom treatment to
customers.

We heard it with the wireless headsets, the scratched discs, the dead
360s, the constant game patches, broken promises, etc. That’s their
mantra...

Liars. That’s what they are, and that’s what they deal in.

(2) ..I found it funny that my launch wireless controller didnt work
with my wireless headset, so I had to swap for a newer one yet MS
insisted there was no problem. heh heh...
