I am also having RROD after the update, Microsoft says send us $99 we'll fix it. NO! they need to fix it for free, or buy back my xbox and all the games that I have spent countless dollars on.

I was searching for a repair manual for my 2 year old xbox when I found your site. Great post. Thank You.

The 160+ thread has been taken down from the xbox web site. I didn’t get the RRoD but visual and sound issues. Got on to MS and they “fixed” it free yay! But now I’m very worried about plugging it back in and play the game that started it (Guitar Hero 5). Any advise?

update applied, restart to red ring. Failing Bootrom patch is bricking 1 out of 1000 consoles minimum.

I too had the same problem but only after I downloaded the latest M$ XBL update for August. I got to the dashboard then everything froze, restarted my xbox and now all I get is the blasted 3 RROD error (And this is on a machine that has been previously repaired by M$ not 12months ago and promised me they had permanently fixed the design flaw). I think we have to live with the fact that M$ are not going to fix the cause of the 3 RROD and there is nothing loyal customers can do about it other than send their precious machines to the USA every 12months for 4weeks to get a new motherboard put in. Sooner or later M$ will start charging for this annual event and we will all be screwed. I still can’t work out if it was bad design or a clever marketing ploy to generate customer revenue……

Got the RROD. Played fine for a while after the update then. After a week of not playing the console, it died.
