Havent read the other pages but mine did it and i did the towel wrap thing and it worked fine for like a week than it happen again and i called XBOX and they sent me a box to ship it in and i got it back in like 3 days....actually they sent me a whole new one didnt bother fixing mine

And i traded someone for it and it was out of warranty...sooo BAM new xbox

I think my build date on the back was like 2005 or something on the old one

Reminds me of the tech work I do. Cumbersome, awkward, and frustrating.

My Wii, of all things, crapped out. Started artifacting like a mofo. And the disc drive sounds like a chainsaw at times, luckily not treating my discs as such. Nintendo does the prepaid shipping to them as well. No biggie, and the tech on the phone*American, not "Andy" from India on MS* didn't even ask me questions. I think the fact I said "artifacting" signified I knew wtf I was talking about and had done anything possible to narrow it down.

Artifacting=lines or loss details in picture.

so apparently when you get "upper management" that means you are directly connected to the repair center and you talk to ACTUAL ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE!!!!! it was amazing he gave me his private email addy and direct phone number......nonetheless still the same process but he said instead of getting mine and sending me a refurb they will actually take mine apart, upgrade it with 07 parts and send me mine back directly.....well my refurb back directly that is....

said i should have it back in about 2 weeks....

I want the hdmi one...

me too.

I show them support by buying it early and get shafted when the price drops and the features get added on.

I didnt read that much into this so i dunno if its been said or not but i got the 3 red lights the day before the extended warranty took place so i decided to open my xbox up voiding the new warranty the next day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. Anyways if you dont get a new one which yo probably will there is a solution. Its called the x-clamp removal and i did it and it fixed my 360. heres the link, its not that hard to do..http://rbjtech.bulldoghome.com/pages/rbjtech_bulldoghome_com/XClampIII.htm
