call 1800 4 MY XBOX
provide them with a serial number and they will provide you with instructions on how to send the xbox back to them for repair/replacementif you've had it modded..make sure that the sticker on the front is intact
when you send it to them, disconnect the hard drive and if you have had it modded, you will need to re-mod it
- thanks kinetic. I will do this tonight. and no mods on it, so I'm in the clear.Point5

you can request a repair/replacement online:

they used to send you a box, but now you have to provide your own. just print the label they email you and stick it on the box. mine died for the 2nd time last week, just sent it in yesterday.
- no need to pay for shipping or anything if it's under warrantyMilan

I was waiting for this to happen. I have had absolutely no problem with it at all over the past year; then when I turned it on earlier this week I got slapped with that red ring of death that I had only heard about.
It was only fitting. 8 days ago my HD failed in my iMac, so this was just the icing on the cake.
FML.

amazing.
how can you put out a product that doesn't work?
why isn't a bigger deal being made out of this?

My XBOX died earlier this year. Sent it in via the links above, and was told I would wait upwards of 8 weeks. Had my XBOX back in two weeks, just in time for Resident Evil 5.

Send it back to microsoft. While you're waiting for the box you can do the towel trick to reboot your xbox.

Just send it into to Microsoft. It'll take 2-3 weeks to get it back but at least it'll work again...

if bought with in last 3 years it is still under warranty
you can do the support ticket online http://support.xbox.com/support/…
but I had a frustrating time , so I just called the 1800 # and said I have no internet , cause they will want to send you online
if you are under warranty by sending it in you get a 1 year warranty on the work
mine has gotten RROD 3 times already , never paid a dime to get it fixed

throw it away. get a ps3. its what i did after sending it bak to MS and then it getting a red ring only 4 months after that and doing towel tricks i taped a M-80 to its center and took it to a deserted parking lot and put a cig to its fuse and watched as it blew apart into a few pieces i went to bestbuy and got a PS3 happily i am downloading new games from the online store... oh yeh online is free and ridiculously easy to use... u just find your wireless or anyones wireless... and done et done... if you get a 60GiG ps3 you can use both ps1 and ps2 games... currently the ps2 games dont work on the 80GiG ps3s... ive been playing naruto ultimate ninja storm, uncharted 2, batman arkham asylum, street fighter 4 and enjoying a very silent running machine which i have played on for 3 days straight and it still purrs like a new born ps3... fantastic!!!
