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 weeksQuote:

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.
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 nowQuote:

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.
I actually checked that out aswell - costs 50$ to do that will it never break again ? / Gut swapping is freeeeeee ;)
Buy a new Xbox, bin or eBay the old one. Job done, stop moaning.
