Some people claimed that they can fix a semi bad update by using the “hold sync button on startup trick”

have you tried that?

How the fuck does that have to do with anything?
Dashboard updates do not write to the DVD firmware…

uhhh no? The dashboard does not bans you, it’s microsoft’s internal ban wave that does.

Will the multiple updates on xbox live effect my disc drive from reading my DL games?

Studioeng I had a 360 that failed an update in middle of it because the dvd drive crapped out. If that wasn’t bad enough after I replaced the drive the game I used (left 4 dead) wouldn’t complete the update! I wound up lucking out by using a different game(nhl09) to finish the update. Good thing too otherwise I’d own a $300 paperweight. Best of luck hope they replace your 360 with the new valhalla board

Yeah; trust me I tried allsorts to get it to work again; but I had to send it away.

It’s strange coz it bottled once before after an update; but I managed to repair it by burning the NXE update to cd; I’ve got another much older console which updated fine … weird!?!

You can purge bad firmware updates by booting up the 360 while pressing the eject and controler sync buttons at the same time. google that for more info

I’ve arranged for M$ to collect and repair it. The console is only 6 months old.

It only started to freeze after the update; it freezes at exactly the same place every time; regardless of cold boot or warm boot. So that would indicated a f**ked firmware/update.
