Mythic members are like people with tattoos. Just as soon as you become a Mythic member, you can kick anyone's ass. It really works.

How many sections of light are lit up when it's flashing?

3 round bursts are always less accurate (when looking at the point of impact vs point of aim) than single shots. That is how it works with real burst fire weapons. The reason there is a burst is because it is counting on that inherent inaccuracy and spread to increase the possibility of a hit when aiming at moving targets in combat conditions.

at least 3, top, left, and bottom. one of them i can not tell for sure.

Pretty much the entire thing is red.

Three sections flashing is defined as specific hardware failure; it's internal.
This same thing happened to me:
Unplug every cord and your HD and plug them all back in; try again.
If it doesn't work, unplug your HD and try again.
While these steps usually won't work with this failure, it doesn't hurt to try.
If it doesn't work this time, you will have to send it in to the repair center.

1-800-4-myxbox
1-800-469-9269

You'll have to go through the automated voice, and connect with a live person, give them your info. and have them send a box.
They will give you a confirmation number that you'll need to write down on a sheet of paper and tape to the xbox itself. They'll tell you to send it bare: no HD, no cables, no controller, no custom faceplate(if you had one).
This will take 2-8 weeks.
Should you forget to tape the confirmation number (I did)- they will have registered it to your name if you already haven't. You will simply be sent a replacement box. Mine took 2 weeks, they say 6-8 weeks.

In the meantime, enjoy life on the forums for a while, or whatever.

Good Luck! ~Mana

Thank you for your help.

I will try what you suggested. - Much appreciated.

Again thank you for your help at this late hour.

And to think, i was just starting to really love halo 3.

Bad luck, man. Like I said though, it could only take 2 weeks...

Everything's free. As a bonus also, when you get a box back, it'll have a free 1 month card for Live with it ^^

Red ring of death. I am in need of your support and help in my time of need.

I know the bungie forum may not be the place for my shout of sorrow and pleas of help but i am asking anyway.

I need your help fellow Halo players. Fellow XBOX 360 owners. I Have the Red Ring of Death. I need your help. - I searched Microsoft a bit to figure out what to do, I tried using my roomates power cord to no avail. It is not a problem with ventilation, it has been working fine for the last 10 months (the amount of time i have had the system.)

Please post your suggestions. Help me out guys.

If this thread is closed for whatever reason i am sorry in advance to the hard working ninjas. I figure the "bungie community" section was my best bet. - but if you do close it please pm me to help me out.

Thanks.
