Okay, here's my problem: My Xbox, after 2 years of faithful service, is having problems. Sometimes, it works without a hitch. But, much more often now than before, it doesn't. I try booting it up with the Power button, it goes through the load-up screen, but usually jerks a little as the word "XBox" comes across the screen. The word "Microsoft" that should appear below it in little white letters doesn't show up, and instead the CD light (big round one) starts blinking red and green and a screen shows up on the TV in multiple languages that says my XBox needs service. No shit! Anyways, it looks like there's a number 11 up in the upper left-hand corner of the screen in this error screen, although it has been 13 before, as well as another number, I think, but mostly 11. Looks like a number, anyway...
Anyways, this is a problem, because I already called XBox support and asked them what I should do, and I'd have to send my damn XBox to Kentucky (from Florida), wait 8 days for it to be fixed, then get it back, assuming no one stole it or "lost" it along the way, and EVEN THEN, the guy said they couldn't guarantee my saved games on the HDD inside would still be there. And, as I enjoy KOTOR I & II, as well as Morrowind, there's no way I can even fit one KOTOR save onto any memory card to preserve them (memory cards hold something like 500 blocks, ONE Knights of the Old Republic save is 1600 blocks )
And I WILL NOT start over from scratch!!!
So... what's my problem and how do I go about fixing it? I'm not too technical, especially with computers, but I know someone who is a techie, Microsoft-certified, although he knows nothing about how to do anything with an XBox.
Please help :( I want to know the easiest, least tech-intensive way to fix my XBox. If at all possible, I want to avoid modding/chips/etc. All I want is my old, functional XBox back. I don't need a bigger aftermarket harddrive or anything else not stock with the XBox. All I want to do is fix it and keep my saved games, and find the easiest, most cost-effective way to do both.
Well... any suggestions, or even other possible solution at least to the dilemma of saving my games to some storage media if I decide to send my XBox to Microsoft for repair? I'm at the end of my rope, so please, someone... help :(
