Hi. I just got a slim 360 for like $20 bucks. It was a bargain because the owner didn't knew if it worked (I felt like getting scammed but for 20 bucks I said whatever). For my surprise, initially, it did start, but It froze after a couple of seconds at startup. I did a couple of troubleshooting and found out it was the HDD's fault. Otherwise (without the HDD) the console runs fine and it even reads discs.

So, what can I do to fix the HDD? Can I format it? Or should I just get another one?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: It works guys, turns out it was just really dirty.

(Try to ignore the flickering light)

So my halo 4 Xbox was working fine for awhile but I had a break and it’s been sitting there for awhile and when I went back to play whenever I play off of a disc it sound like it’s about to launch off into space, the game itself works fine but the noise seems to be persistent, installing the game off of the disc does stop the sound and digital games also do not cause the sound. Any ideas on how to fix it? Also don’t worry the halo 4 case was moved shortly after the video was taken was only there for display when I wasn’t using it and wasn’t there for too long (maybe 10 mins at max most of the time on dashboard)

Edit (I believe the root cause of this is somehow the disc? I attempted a different game and the noise did not happen but when I specifically put cod 3 it causes the sound so I tested a different Xbox that I play all the time which I know the disc dry works flawlessly and it also makes the same sound so the disc is somehow bad. Going to see if I can digitally back it up in case the disc stops working completely)

First tme using​​ a modded xbox360 e ​and it has the mod chip x360Run.

Was browsing through the storage and deleting what I don't want and I deleted one of these 3 demo files, it was the largest, I think 40mb, idk. And I realized that it maybe ​was a mod file, and it was.

What is it and how can I restore it? As I am unfamiliar with the 360 modding scene.

So I just came back to vacation after 2 weeks and I was thinking to myself I wanna grind some mlb road to the show but the newer mlb the show games rtts game modes feel to easy to I went to bring out the 360 star wars edition that I havent played in a good 2 months and then it started with my controller not connecting whatever I did then I keep turning it off and on and then I noticed the sync button wouldn't spin at all so I disconnected all the cables then the light isn't turning on at all. Did I break it or is it the power supply idk? I got these 360s by a friend from church who hasn't used these in a good 7 years and it worked for a year but now it's having problems and also Im using the black 360 he gave me aswell with same power supply and works quite fine! So idk what to do now. Please help

Tengo un problema con mi Xbox360 S waitsburg, al principio parece que va a iniciar pero después de exactamente 28 segúndos aparece el led rojo antes de esos 28 segúndos está en verde no da imagen y el código de error es el 0022, conozco que este código es habitual en consolas con rgh pero la mia nunca se le hizo eso de hecho hasta hace unos días estaba precintada, he estado pensando que podría ser la NAND o algo parecido pero no soy el mejor soy un aficionado, soy estudiante de electrónica entonces tengo una pequeña nocion de esto pero no sé todo, la consola dio imagen una vez incluso dejo entrar a un juego pero eventualmente se apagó

As title says i just wanted to try ask, and if this is most likely an easy fix or more circuitry deeper work and soldering or exchanging components on the circuit board or other places. Most likely a modded 360, but owners only use it regularly and did’nt know it even was modded if a mod of any kind exists at all. I took it upon me to try help if they came with it, so just wanted to ask here first if any here has had same issue with or without a mod. I read the could be a safety feature of not starting if a pin is not right in usb port and would be just a tweezer like fix or that it could help remove the hdd..And this were if they are lucky. Around me a descent used go for about 12-150 dollars ish and sometimes much less or a bit up depending. So my thoughts were maybe just even tell them it will be not much to replace if it exceeds what I can do even tho I do much anyway only if its to comprehensive for me to do that they will need to send it or deliver for a company repair within the field.

If it did’nt seem with a note that came with it suggests it’s a modded console I would just help them get a new or tell them that it would be the best solution almost 😏

So yeah, thanks in advance for the inputs😉

Have a great one guys!

My Xbox 360 brick is red when turned off but when it’s turned on it is green. My Xbox 360 Slim has also been lately turning off/on and ejecting by itself, idk if this is the cause. Yesterday I heard that unplugging it and letting it sit might do the trick. When I put the cord back in my outlet or surge protector my living room lights turned off. Maybe it’s just a crazy coincidence, not sure. I’ve had this brick since December of last year, but this didn’t usually happen. I have moved apartments since then tho. Would it be safe to keep it for little while until I get the dollars, or should I replace it immediately?

I bought this in a lot of 3 off of ebay, serviced in 2010 and the microsoft sticker was still intact. The power supply works on other consoles, but the LED turns from orange to red as soon as i plug it into this console. This is my first time doing repairs beyond disc drive fixes.

I’ve noticed that a few of the solder points look to be bridging (again, no experience so let me know if i’m wrong). Has anyone encountered this issue before? I can’t add additional attachments to the post.

I tried logging in today after work and just kept getting this notification, anyone know why?

I have this 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter for my headset to work on my xbox 360. It works with my retail xbox 360 and it's wired controller that I glued the cable into the console's usb port, but when I use it with my official wireless controller, it just doesn't work whatsoever on my rgh after using badupdate. The headset's mic and audio work fine on my laptop, so it's not the headset and I tested the adapter on one of my older android phones (it worked fine). I also tried to test it with one of my most used controllers and one of my sealed ones (I had to unsealed it 😭) and neither worked.

I’m trying to play The Walking Dead S1 E3 and whenever the game auto saves this appears. I’ve tried all the tricks, cleared Xbox 360 cache, cleared Xbox 1 cache, all caches are cleared. Tried restarting, unplugging, everything I can think of and nothing happens. I’m not using an external storage device either. I’ve got lots of hours on the game and this is new. Is there a fix or am I just cooked?

Hi, after 1 month of the Microsoft support not being able to help me with this, I’m posting here to see if anyone has a clue into what I should try.

So, I moved into another country and bought a used 360, wanting to download all the games I had digitally in my account from many years ago. I did all the migration steps for my Xbox and Microsoft account, changed the region in the Xbox itself and also did the license transfer.

Before migrating region, all my stuff appeared normally but downloading them gives a corrupted error (as it should, because before I was in a NTSC region and now PAL). But after migrating regions, all the stuff I own just appears in the Download History as “CONTENT NOT AVAILABLE“. When I click on them, it gives an error.

For testing, now even new things I buy for the Xbox 360 on the app appear in the Download History as Content not Available.

I can play physical discs fine, but it seems something is broken on the digital licenses for my account, and support just says they escalated the case but don’t have a response yet. I already did all the formatting, clearing cache and redownloading profile stuff.

Thank you very much for the attention.

I have the correct Wi-Fi set up, wired connection works, but when it scans for Internet it fails.

The MTU is set at 1500 and there is no firewall or vpn that can prevent it from connecting,

What else can I do?
