its error code says that it is like a burnt chip or some thing I have no clue I just know its not fixable like as if it were the X-Clamp problem.
Well
I have no warranty no money and now have no Xbox360
[my Sig says that was on 2 hrs ago thats because i can get my cousins Xbox working for 2 mins before its RROD kicks in]
No I will not get a ps3 I'm planing on getting a jasper chipped Xbox360 elite (the new december 2009 one) witch has a new arrangement for less brake downs)

Never owned a console. Never felt the need.
Whats the error code that comes on the screen when you turn it on?
just look up xbox 360 repair on craigslist. There are guys that will fix it for $50.
One of my friends just had this problem. She wrapped it up in a blanket and left it on for about forty five minutes. It worked again.
Theory: The heat that isn't let out will remelt the solder joints and they have, I guess, a good chance to reconnect. A few of her friends did/recommended the same thing.
Though, try it at your own risk.
We've had this topic before; send it in to Microsoft and they will repair the RROD error for 3 years after your current warranty expires.
Also, let's not start spreading that damn towel trick again; it's a dangerous and stupid idea.

nothing does it uses the sync + eject trick to make it flash the red rings in diffrent nummbers example 1224 4ers meaning 0
then I found the error code online for the actual error.

Shoveling snow would be a good plan too; I picked the fourth option. Allow me to edit your post for spelling and grammar:

Nothing does. I used the sync + eject trick to make it flash the red rings in different numbers to get the code, for example 1224. Once I had the sequence, I looked it up online to translate it to an actual error.

DON'T buy a 360. You're just setting yourself up to get screwed.

Most people I know are on at least their 3rd or 4th.
Both of mine work just fine now that I got the first one fixed for $50...
Also, one big advantage the 360 has over the PS3 is the load times. It can take several minutes to load a new instance on the PS3's 1x blu-ray drive...

Same here, except I didn't buy anything extra to cool it.

I say trash the 360 and get a PS3 they are much more reliable and have better games like Uncharted 2, MAG, God Of War 3, InFamous, Little Big Planet.

Why whould I rebuy all my games and wate one years live subscription?
That is your personal preferance I went with the PS3 because of the higher quality games that have been PS3 exclusives and with the built in blu-Ray. I'm also planning on putting in a 500 GB HDD when I can spare $150.
You obviously don't play online much.
In any case, I have a solution for everyone's "console wars" - just buy 'em all

Psst...the intercooler accessory doesn't actually help

Higher quality exclusives on the PS3? Such as? I've got a PS3 and a 360, and as far as games go its 360 >>>> PS3 - no contest. PS3 sucks to play games on.
General forum protip: giant image macros are not necessary to strengthen your point. Well-phrased, grammatically-correct, and proofread posts are far more valuable for that
Speak of the Devil and he shall appear. My brother's Xbox just stopped reading discs, so of course he swapped it out with mine behind my back. Now I have to wait for it to get fixed again...
