My year old Elite console just got the one red light of dead...

Every I turn it on I get an error message in multiple language and get a "E 73" error code at the bottom. I checked everything and apparently the problem deals with the network adapter. I turned the console on and off, removed everything and connected it again and nothing. Apparently, this isn't big enough to kill your console, but nothing happens.

Gooddammit...I am very upset right now

You can add microsoft sucks to your sig

It's funny. When I think about getting another console I take into consideration the PS3 for dependability reasons. Think about that. Microsoft's console is so f*cking unreliable that a SONY PLAYSTATION is considered the "safe" choice.

Bummer about your console though, pap.

360 is unreliable

ps3 isn't worth it

i guess it's settled. Ian is stuck with Wii.

Buy a gaming PC.

Netbooks are pretty neat, too.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #6 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:38:10 PM »

For solitaire.

I was about to say that.

Sorry to hear about your 360.
At least 3 of my friends have had the ring of death appear on their x box in the past month.
I second the motion for buying a gaming PC.

Say what you will about the PS3, it's a rock-solid piece of machinery. The 360, on the other hand, is probably the most unreliable mass-market device in the history of consumer electronics.

PS3 also feels like a heavy rock as well!

Rocks also resist finger prints.

Pap I'm sorry to break it to you but the extended RROD waranty doesn't apply to E73 issues, did your regular warranty run out?

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 15, 2008, 11:07:57 PM »

Guys, first of all enough with the bashing. I didn't create the thread for random bashing or glorifying of console, I did it to vent. I would have been just as upset if my Wii had died or if I had a PS3 it stopped working. I was also hoping to get any information regarding how to fix it or send it to MS for repairs.

So again, don't turn this into a fanboy crapfest because of my misfortune. I've been very upset and having bad luck as of late due to personal and family issues, and this is just a small part of it :\ .

That happened to a friend of mine a few months back. He was pissed, but MS got his 360 back to him lickity split. Well, they got a 360 back to him with the quickness.

So, cheer up? It should be back to you before you know it.

Pap, Like I said the RROD warranty won't apply to the E74 error, is there any way you could verify if your regular 1 year 360 warranty is still valid if so call Microsoft and get it fixed the usual way where they ship you a coffin and you drop it off at a UPS or whatever, if it's not in warranty then you might get charged for it and at that point you might as well get an arcade unit in my opinion.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2008, 08:57:35 PM »

Well, I called tech support. After registering my console they found out it was still under warranty, so the repair is free. All I have to pay is to send the console to them.

In all honesty, I don't care if it takes a while. As long as its repaired and it doesn't cost me a dime I am more than happy. My nephew will get a 360 (don't worry, I'll register his as soon as he opens the box), so if I need to check anything I'll just pop my hard drive on the console and should be set.

Besides, all the games I asked for this Christmas are for Wii, so I should have something to play. *knocks on wood

Dan_Flyhight · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2009, 04:19:09 PM »

Mine just got three red lights and I'm under the warranty I just have to find the dang original faceplate that I put somewhere in my room and I'm sending it out.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #19 on:** January 09, 2009, 04:24:18 PM »

You're supposed to send it in *without* a faceplate, as in, none. Send in the system alone - no HDD, no faceplate, no MU, nothing besides the console.

Dan_Flyhight · « **Reply #20 on:** January 12, 2009, 01:42:49 AM »

Well, yea but you supposed to have the original one, no *custom* ones. I called them to confirm this. But I already knew all the other stuff I've had to send it in before.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #21 on:** January 23, 2009, 08:12:45 PM »

Dammit mine busted today.....turned it on went to the bathroom real quick and heard a loud crackle sound coming from either the TV or 360. I think I would have been more pissed if it was the TV. I bought it for my parents for X-Mas ($800).

I haven't played my 360 for about 3 weeks and I just finished buying all the Rock Band instruments for it.......such bad timing.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2009, 09:03:02 PM »

How many time bombs have been reported on this site thus far?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #23 on:** January 24, 2009, 01:25:06 AM »

Seriously, let's take a count. How many people have had their 360s die?

The first one I bought was DOA (bad hard drive), so that's one.
