(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I sent my xbox in for the 3rrod error and got it fixed under warranty. I get it back, but after about ten minutes of it running fine, the screen will start to flicker and I can barely see the game I'm playing. After another 5 minutes of flickering, the screen will go totally black.

My first instinct was that the bulb in my TV went out, but after replacement the symptoms still occured. Then I tried my PS3 and it worked fine. I used my second set of cables and that didn't work. I have pretty much concluded that the xbox has a problem maybe caused by the 3rrod fix. My warranty expired a week ago so Microsoft wants $100.

I emailed support to see if I could still send it in, because the symptoms presented right after I got it back from Microsoft. They said to check all the cables are connected, I emailed them back that I did. Well, they told me to check it again and I replied that I did. I got another email back to check my cables. Are these people retarded? They can't wrap their head around the fact that I know how to plug in a xbox!!

Well, a long way of getting around to it, but any ideas of what this is? Or am I just going to have to pay Microsoft to maybe fix it. That was a lit of typing. It took a while since I'm on my phone.

Screw that. Call them, seems like they messed up, so try calling them, not emailing. You shouldn't have to pay if you already paid for them to fix it and they failed.

It was under warranty the first time and it is a different problem that is happening now from the first time. They fixed the 3rrod, but now this problem arose
