Is it totally dead and should I take back to shop to get it replaced? Posted by: johnyB_24 Take it back to the shop and tell them to replace it.That's the best thing to do! Posted by: Review Tech The even better part is because it's not a Wii or PS3, you will be able to get a replacement right away! Posted by: Danks Did you move your xbox while it was running with a game inside? Posted by: Raze664 Nope. Got it changed. Posted by: NvidiaDude Just make sure you dont move your console when a Disc is spinning this can Scratch the Layer on the disc and can damage your console and also your game disc Posted by: Raze664 I guessed by the little thing across the drive saying. WARNING DONT MOVE WHILST DISK IS IN DRIVE. Posted by: MichiyoYoshiku Tell me did you have it plugged in the wall or into a power strip?

Posted by: MichiyoYoshiku Yes it does Posted by: talldude123 A power strip will protect the equipment from a power surge, possibly damaging the equipment.

A surge protector will, though. And some surge protectors come in the form of a power strip. Posted by: TonCrafter [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by MichiyoYoshiku [/i] [B]Yes it does [/B][/QUOTE] I thought you were gonna say the opposite. I've heard people say that using a power strip with the 360 was a bad idea........not sure why. Posted by: Raze664 It was in a surge protection, same one as my pc and TV...they are both fine.

I got the 3 red rings 15 mins after owning my 360 because it was plugged into a protector. but from the sound of the poster is sounds like a drive issue but just to see if it helps plug it into a wall rather than a power strip and see what happens the 360 Manual does advise you to plug it into the wall.
