Re: How to Fix The Ring of Death (3 Red Lights), by Carson

my friend had this and he tryed this method did everthing , watched a tut on youtube and microsft took it and rang him up said they couldnt do anything because it looked like it had been tampered with inside... presumably because of this method? or maybe not but it was only 2 weeks old brand new and had not done anything to it, barely had time too... it was first hand aswell... this is not a good idea ... especially since it only lasts for 5 days

but anyway if it works fpr you then to you and nice post i guess
