How long is the Xbox warranty if you get the Red rings of death or w/e

ive heard its 1 year, but then someone else told me its 4? Can anyone confirm what it is ?

+reppp

according to yahoo answers


Originally the 360 came with a 1 year warranty from Mircosoft. Then they extended it to 3 years ONLY for the Red Ring of Death. Then a couple of months ago they also extended it for the E74 error code. So in sum total the warranties are:

3 years for Red Ring of Death and E74 error code
1 year for everything elsehttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090709120245AAvh2mi

that was posted 2 years ago though, but i dont see why they'd change it

i could've swore someone told me they'll fix rrod at any point now - i could be wrong. surely the microsoft website will say?

[Arch]

checked the website i couldnt find where it said,
+rep if i can tho

if you register your console you can get e74 error fixed for free, a generic rrod needs warranty and i think you have to purchase a warranty now. otherwise its £60-£70

[Arch]

yeah my warranty ended for rrod so it says i needa pay 125$

Anyone think this will work?

Buy a new xbox take out the inside parts put it in my xbox take out my broken inside parts and place it in the one i purchase then return ?

that way i get the new parts which should fix my problem ? but i guess morally wrong but meh

[kano]

or just use your new xbox and return your broken one....

You could gutswap.. but then again why would you buy another xbox to commit fraud?

[Arch]

I dunno cuz it bugs me that i payed around $300 for an xbox i played maybe 20 times then it gets the red rings? after i didnt touch it for months.
Morally wrong but its stupid how it just breaks like that plus stores have millions.

Just buy a nice xbox and be done with it, I doubt Microsoft will fix RROD for free anymore

[Arch]

what exactly do you mean by nice xbox ? and they fix it free within 3-years of purchase.

Sorry I meant to put new, idk why I typed nice. Well if you know that for a fact, what's the issue? Send it off for repair, my friend sent hers off and it was back in a couple of weeks

[Arch]

yeah i found out with help from this thread, but i found out my warranty is over and it'll cost $125 to repair.

Its just annoying because prior to getting the RROD i honestly only played it like 20 times within 3 years... and it breaks ?
Anyways im gonna try the towel trick when i have time, and if not i'll think about gut swapping.

Anyone ever done it and has it worked? I figure its worth a shot

Is Microsoft seriously still having problems with this? Typical of rushed hardware. Thankfully mine hasn't had any problems in a few years, though that's likely due to lack of use.

And $125 to repair? I'm sure you could get a replacement cheaper then that at this point, at least used/refurbished.

[Arch]

Yeah exactly, makes no sence to send it in - and its annoying cuz i've used it like 20 times in 3 years... maybe like 30 minutes each time lmao


anyways my other post was about the sucess of the towel trick, if anyone has done it lemme know if it worked well ?

on the older xboxs they still do, but the newer ones are pretty much safe from the rrod now

i've done it on an old xbox, it worked for a few hours and just rrod'd again.

[Arch]

yeah i heard it works for awhile then stops usually... ffs

[redtom]

Go to your local electronics repair shop and they should fix it on the cheap, or at least know a guy who can do it.

[Arch]

I actually checked that out aswell - costs 50$ to do that will it never break again ? / Gut swapping is freeeeeee ;)

[Jam]

Buy a new Xbox, bin or eBay the old one. Job done, stop moaning.
