my brothers x box has got the red light of death on it at the moment (i think it keeps overheating?) and i've been charged with sorting it out (what do i know about x box's? )

someone at work reckons Microsoft are covering this fault for 3 years and it's about 12 months old - is this right?

any information will be gratefully passed on to my brother who can sort his own stuff out

 

A quick google has reveal http://video-games.elliottback.com/h...tive-xbox-360/

No doubt Microsofts/xbox website will have further details

 

Correct, send it back to Microsoft.

There is a more permanent fix and that is to buy a PS3, hope that helps

Tim

 

throw it in the bin and get a PS3

 

Which also have issues with the Blu-Ray player dying

 

i think he sold his PS3 for this xbox 360 lol

i will tell him though

 

3 years thing is true or if your too lazy and want a tempoary fix then youtube for "the ring of death fix" and you can use a few towels to get it going for a little while, i guarantee it will go back to the three rings though

 

Yes it 3 years not sure how it works though as mine has been fine so far but I understand they send you a box, you send post it off then wait for a new one/repair. Call them up.

Cheers all - it's going back to microsoft
