Serious Problem-HELP!

[TopHat]

Ok, just got a 360, turn it on, and I get E67, or HARDWARE FAILURE! This is a BRAND NEW, took it out of the store 3 hours ago, for my birthday (which is tuesday) this has gone from the best day of my life, to my worst.


EDIT: I fixed it, don't worry tradedy narrowly averted!

So, what was it?? The "E67" failure is HDD related, if I remember correctly. What did you do, or what solved it?

I had to remove every cable and the HDD, then reconnect, THEN restart the system! I'm currently moving my gamertag to the 360!

That's pretty odd. In any case you can return it to where your parents bought it and get a new one.

No, I just had to remove the HDD and replace it, so its fixed, I'm in the middle of Recovering my gamertag, and I just need the last four digits of my mom's card. Soon I will be on TDU RACING!!!!

Well, at least its working. Just as a note, what is the "Manufacture Date" of the unit??

I originally had a launch unit, with it's subsequent myriad list of problems. It was mostly the "E74" video cable problem, but also had many lockups. I sold that to a friend a couple months ago, and got a new one. And, wouldn't you know it, since then he has had ZERO problems. Oh well, because my new one has been spotless as well, so its fine.

I checked, Its brand new, just manufactured maybe in the last 3 months or so, so I think i'll be fine....

On the back sticker, there should be a "MFR Date" listed. What is yours?

Ok, i saw the wrong thing, it was more like 6 months ago, 5-30-2006.

You probably find that the Hard Drive wasn't fitted properly when you first inserted it, without you knowing. It has happened to me before.

Fingers crossed, your 360 shouldn't have any problems, like I have in the past with the original AND the replacement.

Enjoy the experience!
