Richb2004v2 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 For the second time I recently got the 'red lights of death' on my Xbox 360. On Christmas day actually which was annoying. The last time I had this I took it to a shop and didn't see it again for two weeks. This time the guy in a different shop fixed it in less than an hour. He also upgraded the firmware/software and dashboard. He then recommended I install a 120 gig hard drive so to be able to download the games which might reduce the heat generated by the machine when running and lessen the chances of a recurrence of the red lights. I did this but was surprised when after installing the games I still need to put the disk in the drive. Is this right? Surely this means the drive is still in use. I expected to be able to run purely from the HD. Any ideas? Also is this likely to reduce the run temperature much. Plus I wonder if watching DVDs on the machine is likely to generate much heat and if so should I avoid it? A very good service anyway with the hard drive, repair and software upgrade in an hour for 3,500 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charandeman Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow 3500 bath for a frimware upgrade and 120 hard drive!! That's cheap i think you did a great job.

But i have still an old firmware ,but i download the newest games by myself and patcg the wave 4 games to wave 3 . Easy ,quick and no need activation disks.
