Wow. Way to go MS, that's actually somewhat admirable.
When I rang they just asked when I purchased it and never asked for proof.Bboy AJ said:Do we need a receipt to get it warrantied through MS? I just bought a broken 3LOD one on eBay.

I've missed some piece of information or someone's clever maths - where is the $168 from?Nikashi said:Haha, okay, let's calculate how much this thread will cost MS in total, I'll start.
$168.00
adamsappel said:Okay, I updated the list. 687 dead consoles, from 512 individual posters. Refurb failure rate holds at 34%.

I WENT A MONTH WITHOUT MY SYSTEM AND TODAY I GET A ****ING REFURB MAN THATS BROKEN!
THE DAMN F-ING DISC TRAY WONT CLOSE AND MY THE SYSTEM WONT SPIT OUT THE COLOR RED,EVERYTHING IS YELLOW AND BLUE,BUT THE GOD DAMN DISC TRAY OPENS WHEN I TURN THE SYSTEM ON,HAS NO OPTION TO CLOSE IT AND WHEN I DO PUT A GAME IN IT SPITS THE GAME BACK OUT.
I'M TEMPTED TO TAKE A HAMMER TO IT!
ok enough yelling,this is absurd.Now I have to call them again and wait for another coffin and go another damn month without one.
This is a nightmare
If you are using component, you sure the red is plugged in and not loose? I've done something like that before moving a DVD player around.Matrix said:THE DAMN F-ING DISC TRAY WONT CLOSE AND MY THE SYSTEM WONT SPIT OUT THE COLOR RED,EVERYTHING IS YELLOW AND BLUE

Check your PMs.Matrix said:What B-Rad Lascelle just said just pisses me off even more.It should be different for the people that get a broken system sent to them and cant even use it the first day.Ive already been without my system 1 month,now I have to do it all over again cause of awful customer service and wait even longer.
edit- I cant find any info about disc trays not closing on xbox.com :\ This disc tray opens up even when I turn the console off :lol

Piscopink said:I'm wondering how the 360 Elite is holding up compared to the regular 360... is the failure rate still the same? The 360 Elite has that new motherboard layout and some other internal improvements, but do they work is the $64,000 question. Are there many stories of 360 Elites breaking down out yet?
985boi said:What time do you usually call them? I called them last Thursday around 2 p.m. and the call last around 15 minutes all together.
Kolgar said:I've searched the best I can and only found two or three instances of Elite owners getting red-ringed.
Some Elite owners even claim to have the third heatsink. Manufacture dates after about 3/24/07, though one guy with a 3/27 date says no and I can't see one in mine, either. Granted, I can't see sh*t using the method described here:

Also, most everybody who's getting refubs back is claiming to have a third heatsink.
Moore does a lot of apologising, but not much useful stuff emerges. A couple of atoms of info from Gamespot are that problems are not related to specific software (it's nor Forza 2) and that the Elite version has been affected less than the Core and Pro.
And the reply...i just bought my xbox360 elite, no manufacturing date.
good or bad? i checked the usb port in the front, and the sticker next to the av
Re: i just bought my xbox360 elite, no manufacturing date.
Crack that sucker open and let us know if they are using the 65nm chip yet so I can get an Elite finally!!

WickedLaharl said:i got my 360 back today and it has already flatout refused to power on twice already. i try to power it on from the controller... no dice, push the button on the console... nothing.
unplugging it seemed to get it working again for now but this ****ing sucks.
Matrix said:Refurb,right?
I'm not disputing your point at all, but popping into this thread regularly I don't recall anybody having the extra heatsink yet. I don't visit other forums much so I don't know what's going on there.Kolgar said:Also, most everybody who's getting refubs back is claiming to have a third heatsink.
I think all 360s have that. All five 360s that have been in my possession at one time or another have had it. Admittedly four of them have broken so maybe it's not a good thing? :lol985boi said:So I finally packed my 360 into the coffin today. I notice that when I was moving the 360 around, I hear noises like some screws are loose inside the system. Thats weird because I don't remember hearing it when I first got my 360. It's not like I moved it around a lot or even dropped it ever.

That makes sense. I always wondered what it was so thanks for solving that mystery! It's been quite an adventure but I guess out work here is done.arne said:it's the ball bearing or whatever mechanism that detects where the system is vertical or horizontal.

You must unlock the heatsink achievement, and i didn't, i fail so my refurb MUST survive without it.Bildi said:I'm not disputing your point at all, but popping into this thread regularly I don't recall anybody having the extra heatsink yet.
