Xbox Live 360 Ban

We have a printout in our test area detailing the following method for testing for a banned console:


 * Unplug hard drive and/or memory unit, * Turn on 360 with ethernet cable/wireless plugged in, * Go to "system settings" in the dashboard, * Click on "Network", * Click on "Test Xbox Live Connection" * Wait for the results, if it asks you to update click CANCEL. * Click on "Y (Yellow)" to get the status report up on screen:

If the status reports the following then the console is banned W: 0000-0008 X: 0000-F001 Y: 00A8-6820 Z: 8015-190D (see this = banned) ID: 0008-0000

Any other code in the Z: line such as "Z: 8015 - 1002" means you are NOT banned, the only code that means you are banned is "Z: 8015-190D", that is the banned code.

Thanks to Kirk from Stockport for this.
