Re: RROD Question
Yes and no. If you open it and break it then it's your fault and Microsoft won't fix it.

There are manuals you can buy on the net to fix RROD for about $25, but I wouldn't, if your x-box is less than three years old its now covered under MSs new RROD extended warranty.

Re: RROD Question
Easier to just get MS to fix it for free than mess about trying to sort it yourself, I think...

I'd agree with that - once my 360 decided to have it's RROD just after I'd already reported what I thought was a separate fault, MS had it repaired and returned within 10 days

Re: RROD Question
Send it back and you'll get a shiny new motherboard with the updated heatsink/heatpipe configuration.
