Xbox 360 red ring around the power button*been collected*
Help,Bloody things packed up.
Half way through watching a dvd and it lost the pic then spat out the disk.I turned it off then back on and the red light can on.
Its still in warrenty, so I'll send it back.
Has anyone else had experince with doing this?
How long will it take and how do you go about it?

Go the Microsoft site and there should be instructions on how to get a support call raised and the xbox collected/repaired.

the ring of death is covered under 3yr warranty (ie all of them) so you can always get it fixed for free

I had to go through all this crap and sign up as I dont use xbox live.
Takes a while but quite a good service tbh, it tells you what to do.
And yes the red ring is covered by the 3yr wrnty.
I just placed my order so should be all sorted in 20days so they say.

Xbox's are geeks who spend 24/7 on Halo!

one of my friends was talking about wrapping it up in a towel and leaving it on to get hot... which sorts the chip back out or something
i think he said there's instructions on youtube
