Hello,

I just want to know if somebody has experienced something like this. I have an xbox 360 and I bought it on November 2007 and it's supposed to be one of those that don't suffer the red ring of death as much as the initial ones. Anyway today I was playing halo when all of the sudden I got a call on my cellphone which I left charging on the station dock next to my 360 and my tv. My tv started having this weird interference and then suddenly my 360 started to show 4 red lights and one second later it showed 3 flashing red lights and the tv went blank. So I got kinda scared cause I know about the RROD so I didn't know what to do except shutdown the xbox. I removed the iphone from that area and immediately turned on the xbox and it worked like if nothing happened. I have also had this problem when watching tv, if the iphone is near the directv cable cord, when I get a call the sound and image in the tv gets really scrambled up like if you were watching a scratched DVD to the point the image freezes up. So I think (and hoping) that when I got my call today the iphone made some kind of interference with the AV cable causing the 4 lights and then something else happened and they became the 3 lights of RROD. I know the iphone causes a lot of interference, but damn, if this thing caused the xbox to go crazy... it's just to much interference.

Well I just hope this was the cause of the temp RROD and not something else inside the xbox. After that, I left and my brother stayed playing halo and since then it hasn't showed any more "lights". So has anybody seen a case were interference causes the xbox to show the lights?

That's crazy. I cna't believe the iPhone does that, I mean, it's the same as any other phone on GSM, it's just weak radio waves. iPhone isn't something speical. Did you try this with another phone?
