seems stupid to me to fix it yourself when you paid 400 bucks for something why wouldnt you make them honor the warranty?

ok in your case maybe but for the OP who doesnt have experience fixing them obviously why wouldnt he just warranty it?

and honestly as long as it was bought originally from a dealer you could of warrantied it. they dont ask for proof of purchase. as long as the original owner didnt register it xbox.com for all they know you were the original purchaser.

Good luck playin on Xbox-Live //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I dont use xbox live. I wanted to make my own copys because I have 3 kids that like to scratch the hell out of my games...

if the warranty is still valid, it makes no sense to not send it in.... but when the warranty is void or has ran out, thats what im here for //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Sometimes the A/V cord will come out slightly and give RROD. (yes, 3 rings) Happened to me a few times. I know quite a few of the boxes that go in are this issue only. Something like 45%.

Odd. The 360 usually reverts to the four lights when that happens. Wonder why the 3 lights sometimes come up.
