Red ring of death?

Take it back to the place you bought it from. They are legally obliged to either repair or replace it.

Don't let them fob you off with a so called 12 month warrenty and that you have to get in touch with microsoft.

Microsoft has admitted that every one of the 11.6 million Xbox 360 consoles sold in the past 19 months suffers from a design flaw that could cause the device to fail.

What a nice way to treat the customer sell them a product with known issues

There is more than one problem admitted by MS

Microsoft admits scratch problem with Xbox 360

http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/Microso...-Xbox-360.html

Microsoft is still sending out HITACHI DVD drives. Are these a New Model of Hitachi DVD drives that do not have many errors like, Scratching Disks, and Cannot read Disk.

http://www.xbox360recall.net/

I believe there are 6 common faults and 4 which have been admitted by various Microsoft Staffers

When a product is bad enough that you have a website dedicated to recall issues its bad news

The 'red ring of death' is 3 red lights around the round button on the front of the console.

I just got mine back from having this problem fixed. It took about 3 weeks.

They send a box and everything you need to send it to them, including the tag for the box. Just follow the instructions and it is dead simple.

Oh yeah....you have to call them first and have them send you the box.
The whole process costs you $0, but you will have to wait about 3 weeks once you send it off for repair.

Also, you have to take ALL of the bits out of the console, including the hard drive, but its very easy.
