Does anyone know how to get a busted Xbox fixed by M$? Mine crapped out a week or two ago while playing GTA4. The display went berzerk and the color messed up. I restarted it and it never displays anything now. It powers up and no red ring, but no display or sound neither.
Tell them it E74ed or and now it doesnt work ^_^ )E74 is an error that M$ made, and they are fixing it for freE) Note: if you tell them you had Xbox Live, they will send you XBL depending on how long it was taken in.
Wrap it up in a towel, turn it on, it will over heat and get the 3 red rings of death which is covered for 3 years. ring them and they will fix for free... i have done this 3 times.
Thats actually a really good idea. Should I take the HD out before I try this? Hopefully it wont fry the data. Its a year or pretty close to it so it might not be under the traditional warranty. I was also considering purchasing a new one and taking it back but Im not sure if like walmart or gamestops open box policy is the same with systems as it is with software. In which case that wont work. About how long does it usually take M$ to fix and send back?
Its would take 2 weeks top, most consoles get sent to Germany Frankfurt. Yes lol take the Hd off You wont need an original box or the hd for it to get fixed all that ask for is the console its self This way is tried and tested, you will defo get it fixed for free
I read this the other day and thought ... hmm this is good to know.. I seem to have jinxed myself cuz my XBOX is ready to die.. Its not even a yr old yet XD THANK YOU Xs 100 EDIT: OFF TOPIC:: 150th POST XD Yay!!! Im green now <3
