So I get home from work one night and head over to my 360 to play some halo. I go turn it on and the green light flashes really quick and nothing happens. I figured out that whenever I did this, the orange light on the power brick turned to red instantly. The xbox wasn't overheated or anything before that and it was in the open laying on the floor. It was also plugged directly into the wall outlet.
I brought my xbox on September 25, 2007 with Halo 3 and I have the new 20gb with HDMI. I called up microsoft a little while ago and the guy said that there is only a three month warranty on the powerbrick. So he says i have to pay $80 bucks to get a new one.
I find this really lame... My console has worked fine under the same setup for 6 months and it randomly does this so I have to pay more $$$? Did anyone else have a similar problem like this and find a way around the $80?
*Console was on tile at the time of the incident.
