Hello everyone.
Recently I was viewing a movie on a friends Xbox, and it froze around the middle of the movie. It has done this once or twice before, so we shut it off & turned it back on. However, when it restarted, it locked during the logo screen. Several further attempts allowed us to access the music collection we had stored on the unit & play some. When we tried again the next day, it never went past the logo screen. Also during our attempts to start it, the LED ring would flash from green to red, indicating an improper video/audio connection; everything was connected properly.
The unit is now almost a year old, bought last December. It was not among the first units, it has the 2nd version of their visualization screen that appears during music play. No abnormal behavior has occured to the unit, it was in a climate controled room sitting on top a wood bookshelf w/ plenty of circulation room.
Any thoughts? My first was the harddrive as I heard clicking internally, but from the little info that I was able to gather from Google it looks like BIOS, power supplies, and other things can fail. I would like to fix it if possible, as I don't think its under warranty any longer.
Thanks
