imo to be fit for purpose a console needs to be as robust as the megadrive was, so you can use it on deep pile carpet for 150 consecutive hours and spill your beer on it every weekend with no problem.

=============================
--==SECONDARY ERROR CODES==-
The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code
* Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.
* Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.
* The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).
* Release the eject button and press it again.
* The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.
* Release the eject button and press it again.
* The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.
* Release the eject button and press it again.
* The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.
* Release the eject button and press it again.
* The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.
You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.
Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:
* All four lights flashing - 0
* One light flashing - 1
* Two Lights flashing - 2
* Three lights flashing - 3

Was it in here where i read GT5 has the Top Gear track on it?
if you now have 4 red rings microsoft will accept it. if not then wrap it in towels turn it on leave it one for couple of hours and hope no1 reads this thread.
then ring em and they will arrange to pick it up

But wont they only fix the red ring problem and not the problem that was causing my games to freeze? If so it seems pointless sending it
New xbox would be quickest and easiest for them lol

They dont fix them they give you a refurbished unit.
u need to look for 3 Red light's
4 Red lights is a hardware fault and can be anything

claim they broke that when it gets sent back. they may even fix it as when they test it it wont work.
Keep your harddrive when you send it off!!!
