LAST UPDATE: S OLE SOURCE: FAQ: #1: If you are getting the 3-Lights Of death; and it is not three years old - SEND IT BACK! #2: If you are getting E74; and it is not three years old - SEND IT BACK! #3: If you do not have a receipt, they go by the MFR date on the console for WARRANTY returns. Q-->What if it is Modded?
#5: If your console is MODDED and you get 3-LOD, and it is not three years old - SEND IT BACK! In most cases they don't even open the unit up, they just test it, and send you a refurbished unit. The worst that can happen is you get your console back, still broke oh well, you tried. #6: If you just bough the console, modded it, and get any issues; and are within the direct exchange time; TAKE IT BACK to the store.
Q: Why do you call it 3LOD and not RROD? Well, a RING is a complete circle (see a dictionary), and only three lights come on in the ring, thus being an INCOMPLETE CIRCLE! RROD means Red 'RING' Of Death, and all FOUR lights have to be on for it to be a complete circle, correct? I won't use the terminology adopted by illogically thinking people.
It is what it is, and it is NOT a RING.
