Chach, did you have a power outage before your three lights came on (even if your console was off)? If I remember correctly, you reported the issue right after those storms moved through last weekend.

Nope, no power issues. The first day, I removed the plug from the wall and from the 360. Tried it the next day and it was still 3 red lights of death. Then I moved it out of the tv stand and onto the chair. I think having the sun baking it on the chair may have contributed to its revival. (Sorta like doing the towel thing without actually doing it, same concept, just used the SUN!)
This would still lead me to believe that it will fail again as if it re-solder something with the heat, I would think it could fail soon again.
