RROD, or maybe not

    Come on, surely I'm not the only one to have done this

    Had the 360 stored away and just hooked it up. Hit the power switch and see four flashing segments, a full circle. :eek:
    A stream of expletives ensue as I madly calculate when this console was bought and am I under warranty or not.

    Luckily I copped on that the cable to the TV wasn't connected so sorted that and all good now. A full red circle is the error message for this.

    Always seemed strange to me that the RROD is not even a full ring!
    Anyone else want to admit to this? Or is it just me? :o

    Yea, nearly gave myself a heart attack a few months ago with it, then I got the real deal this month :<

    Just goes to show how notorious the red ring is now that even seeing anything red on there xbox gives 99% users a heart attack.

    Happened to my girlfriend when she was playing her brothers xbox. She was so odd about it, she called me up and told me in a deadly serious voice that I had to come over because there was a big issue she didn't want to talk about over the phone (her bro was in the background but I didn't know that). Course this has me going through "the scares" - pregnant, fatal sickness, ill, death in family, break-up etc.
    So I was very happy when I saw what it was and checked the cable. Then of course I made sure to ridicule her for being so cryptic and causing me stress! :D

    When I got my own real red ring I tried diddling with the cables in the vain hope that they were to blame :p
