Back at the start of september I put a post up about my xbox had stopped working and didnt work for weeks, so I went out and got a brand new one. Today I was just going to pack away my old one and thought that I would try once more, so pluged everything in and hit the power button. THE GOD DAM THING WORKS!!!! just like there had never been anything wrong. So dont chuck out your old xboxs if they stop working as it may just start working again one day.
duno it just seems a long time for it be be something that simple! But then again what could have gone wrong that stopped it working for so long just to be fine again later. I dont get it.
Maybe it had just over heated. Could be possible.
Ive had it since the release day. One night when saving a game it suddenly flashed up a msg saying that it was unable to save, then it froze. I left it for a while then turned it off, when I switched it back on the menu would not load, then it would show the help page. I dont understand how come it has started working again. thinking about trading it into game!
Ok sorry, I wasn't implying that you didn't look after it. Howcome it stopped working then? Have you had it a long time?
HEY I always look after my stuff! My xbox sits on a custum built hi-fi rack with isolation platforms on each level. mains power is connected to a mains cleaner. The whole rack is always kept dust free.
Chance of it happening again must be pretty high though.
But surely if you look after your stuff, then it'll never stop working anyway?
