xbox - red ring

[Richie]

Hey,
Is it worth buying an xbox elite from 2007 that has 120gb hard drive and the red ring of DOOM? The guy is charging 30euro which doesn't seem allot but im curious how much the red ring would cost to fix?

[lRhyss]

not much, but takes forever, They had mine for 4 months

They had mine 2 weeks! I'd say that's worth it.

Bloody hell...

Mine was gone for 4 months, although I got 4 free months of xbl for it =D

Hahaha worth the wait. PS3 took the same amount of time. Guess I'm just lucky.

When my 360 Premium got the RROD I setup a warranty claim with MS they sent me a shipping label, I boxed it up, slapped it on, they collected it and had a new/refurbished 360 with me in just under a week. Cost me nothing and got a newer 360 out of it.

It wont be in warranty though, Which RROD Segments does it have?

My original xbox from release is still going after having RROD twice.

Strip it down to the core, clean it all out etc and do the towel trick.

The actual effort, plus the towel trick only lasts a few hours.

The towel trick is an extremely bad idea, but giving it a good clean solves the majority of problems.
