xbox red rings.

[exposedsoul 0]

My xbox died! NOOO. I tried all the fixes on youtube. I even went out and bought all the tools to take it apart to fix it, and the X-Clamp kit. But the star set I bought didn't have one small enough for the x-clamp screws. So I said F it took everything back i bought and sent the fucker to microsoft.

It's always better to send it out first, since Microsoft covers the red rings for something like 2 years, before trying to take it apart to fix it yourself. Chances are they have a "void if removed" sticker on the inside so if you attempt to tamper with it you will end up voiding your warantee.

Better to send it off and have them fix it for free than have to pay for whatever parts and/or work because you thought you could do it yourself.

I'm calling shenanigans.

I've had my arcade one for 3 years, not one problem.

just send it in and make sure to tell them that it was the red rings of death. because im on my 3rd xbox 360 because the other ones got the 3 red lights. and each new FREE xbox i get comes with a 1 year warranty so it works out really well.

my 360 did that before. its an internal problem. you just have to send it in and if its not still under warranty then your gonna have to pay for it.

actually you dont pay for shipping =)

only $100

because microsoft sends you a box with a shipping label and inside the box is stuff to put your xbox in and then you mail it back.

and it usually takes about 2 or 3 weeks to get back to you. depending on the time of year. so if your xbox breaks around christmas then it'll probably take longer
