As topic says bought a 360 paid £50 for it Cheesy
It flashes in 3 segments, so i unplugged drive and boots ok, i suspect the lad has buggered the key up I have what he says is his orig.bin, so i tryed to refllash it (after manually patching the key) now it takes a flash but first boot up ok but games dont work, reboot and off with the 3 lights again.  Anyone think of a way round this ?  Its a TS-H943     X800473-015  drive

Thanks for any suggestions

3 red LEDs is a f***ed MB, and has nothing to do with the drive.

Hmmm

as i thought not "f***ed" cant be as it boots up every now and again and fairly sure it boots every time without the drive, (wont boot any game) just back from the pub so wont be a job for tonight will do more testing tomorrow, and post my results.  Maybe between other members we can fix bricked boxes help each other as this forum is ment to be, i'm not really interested in "backup games" only have about 5 but the only game i play is PGR, bought this in the hope i could sort my nephew out..... I DONT need anymore Pm's offering me money for it as that just wants me to hang on to it and sort it, i don't like being beaten...... Payed peanuts for it as a gamble not gunna miss £50 so nothing to lose great chance to learn something is the way i see it...

Int

PS  cya all on PGR 3 my box is fine Cheesy

if the drive actually causes flashing, then it may have a short somewhere that causes the MB to "panic".

Last time I checked, this is an informative forum, not a for sale forum. Would it actually hurt to give the guy tips?

And your the type of person 'who doesn't care' that would definately not be a part of any inviteonly-technical forum.  If you don't care, why post.

In any case, whats the news on the system? get any progress at all?
