A little while ago, my Xbox 360 was on but it was playing the Halo 3 idle movie, it had been idle for a few hours. I was talking on the phone, and all of a sudden I start hearing crunching noises.. So I look at the Xbox, and its coming from there. So I quickly go over and turn it off, and let it be for a half hour. I turn it on to see if the problem persists, and it does. So 20 Minutes later, I turn it on, and the tray keeps opening, so I take the disc out, and it wont close. It closes, but pops right back out. I turn the console off, it pops out and wont automatically close, so I have to push it down for it to be closed when the console is off. My Xbox was and has been in the Horizontal Position.

I've had the Console since December of 06, and its the Core Version.


So, what do I do?




Thanks.

Most likely your going to be SOL. You can give Microsoft a call and see if they have any suggestions for you but they will probably advise you to purchase the retailers extended warranty the next time around.

When I worked at Meijer, we had people return a couple Xboxes that were doing the exact same thing. Luckily (as I recall) both were still under the microsoft warranty so we took them back.

This sounds stupid but it is very likely to work, box it up and take it back to Wal-mart and tell them you dont have your receipt, but you need to exchange it. The one here in town never bothered to call and verify them and takes them back anyway. They also took back two of my Ipods that botched on me years ago. Besides that Im out of ideas.

Weren't all Xboxes put under a new 3 year warranty?


And I bought mine from a BestBuy, does it matter?


And I am not to keen on sending it to Microsoft, because they can take their sweet time sending it back.

Yep, I think it was just a year though. Give microsoft a call, cant hurt anything. And woopty do, you lose your xbox for a month, go play outside for once . Any of the online tricks wont work, and if you send it to some 3rd party, you lose the warranty and when you get a RROD you're boned!

Good luck getting it fixed though .

Yeah, I'll probably just take it to the guy who fixed my Original Xbox a few Summers ago. It's just Battlefield: Bad Company comes out this Month, I have a big 100 Man LAN I am helping at, hosting the Console Section, and my August LAN, so..

i had to send my 360 in for rrod and within 10 days i had a brand new one at my house and a free month of xbl... they have really gotten faster they ship them all overnight now and they are fast as hell with returns.. Call them it cant hurt most times they will feel bad and replace it for you i have a friend who has had similar problems to a 2 year old 360 no extended warranty and microsoft replaced it..
