0800 5871102 is the number you are after.

The dreaded 3 rings of death is usually the end of the console mate, i was told when i called to report mine that they would repair it no problem but ended up getting a completely new console!! Was really lucky with mine as bought it off Ebay and had no receipt or guarantee and the console was well over 12 months old and still managed to blag another one out of them !!!

You can send it back to microsoft as said or many shops such as PC World, Game etc.. swap them over the counter if under 1 year old.

never thought id say this but i agree

360's are just a disaster waiting to happen and trust me getting your old one replaced with a new one doesnt solve the problem
