Default My power brick died
Today,I was playing Saints Row on the 360.I took a shower and when i came back I saw the 3 lights flashing like when I first bought it.The top right light wasn't lit.

I examined the power brick and the fan wasn't spinning.Does anyone know what screwdriver opens it?


I really don't want to spend another $90.

For section 1, 3, 4 lighting up, this is what you should do.

General Hardware Failure

THINGS TO TRY

1. Try restarting the console.
2. If restarting the console does not resolve the behavior, follow these steps:
* Turn the console off.
* Unplug all the power and AV cables from the console.
* Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
* Firmly reconnect all the cables.
* Turn on the console.
3. If these steps do not resolve the behavior, turn the console off, remove the hard drive, and then turn on the console. If the 3x Red LED error light is no longer displayed, turn the console off, re-attach the hard drive, and then turn on the console.
4. Also examine the lights on the power supply. When you turn on the console, the power supply light should illuminate green even if the three lights on the RoL flash red.
If that doesn't fix it, call up Microsoft since it the 3 lights, it's covered under the 3 year warranty.

The power brick has a color LED on it.

If it's orange, it's on standby.
If it's green, the 360 is powered on with no problem relating to the brick.
If it's red, THEN the power brick is related.

If you got the RRoD, then you might consider sending it in for a new one or going out and buying a 360 arcade model. They're only $200 now. You might also want to look at the MFR dates in the back too. Almost all 360s that were made in 2008 are Falcons. Falcons are pretty much 65nm cores so they generate less heat and less wattage thus, less chance of getting the RRoD.
