I sent an email to the xbox service hopefully my still got the warrantly, but I think I should just go for an PS3 since they dont have much problem like ours. I also have the three red flashes. This is my second time going through this in less then a year and we barely play with it. So my code is 0111 what is that mean?

I am sure it works and if my warranty had run out, I would also be willing to try it but as a mum, some folks made the comment that it would fry your unit. I really think this is reasonable - the unit will not work...for very long. I went on to the website, suggested by another post http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xbox360/hardware/console/troubleshootingconsoleproblems/flashinglights.aspx and it was so easy to follow. Clicked on all the buttons and it worked.. surprise, surprise. Interesting comments.
