going with the crowd..

my brother gave the xbox yesterday to UPS..

when i cam home that evening.. he told me he forog to put the reference number on the box! >.< if you want something done right,.. do it yourself.. /whine.

Send a mail to MS right away, giving them the reference number and UPS package number... but I doubt that'll make a difference. I gues thei'll just send it back because of that. :( (can't blame them either,. I mean, if everyone would forget that number,, it'd be a logistic nightmare I suppose.)
 
Excellent.. I've sent the Xbox back on friday (thursday it broke, send it the next day in the afternoon.) got a mail this morning that it's arrived at the repair facillity. :)
I'm quite pleased with this, because sunday and monday were/are official hollidays here.

Everytime someone gets a RRoD I'm glad I never bought a 360 :P I can't believe there are still red ring eligible machines on the market (or was the problem never really fixed?)

So very true...though I recently fixed my uncles 360 and I gotta say I am glad I stopped buying consoles after the PS2.

Id much rather pay for a emulated version from MS/Sony/etc and play in on my PC.
 
just checked the status of my repair-warranty etc thingy.

and it was on the last step already! "Apparaat verzonden naar de klant - Je console is gerepareerd of vervangen. We sturen de console naar je terug."

"device is shipped to the customer - your device has been repaired or replaced. we send you the console back"


Microsoft loves me! :D I mean, if they send it away today,. I would have it on friday. making it a week from the console beeing shipped away, till it comming back again.

Hope everything works out fine. (obviously) but so far it actually looks really really good.


Edit: woooo.. I didn't see the UPS tracking number the first time.. jsut checked. the package was sent yesterday already. (damn fast if you ask me!) so it should be here today already. :D then I can continue playing mass effect,. wheeee. :) :D :o

It seems that you get faster service in the Netherlands than we do here in the U.S. It took mine about 3 weeks to come back from MS.

i give credit to microsoft for the whole xbox 360 repair/replace program they have. i've had to do it twice now, and both times it was a very speedy turn around (little over 2 weeks i believe) they make the process very painless, i did everything online, not a single phone call, and hell they even ship you the box!

anyway, glad to hear that you'll be back up and running!
 
wheeee.. My xbox did indeed arrive today. :) they just replaced it with a new one. (at least, it looks brand new, with even the protective stickers on it.)

I'm very pleased with this. the drive is much more quiet than the one I had. :D

I have a mate who has had the red rings six times now

Six times!! I wonder what the world record is. MS really screwed up on selling defective Xbox 360s. They should come with a lifetime red ring of death warranty, since every Xbox 360 will eventually red ring.

thats like saying everyone will eventually die. :rolleyes: (sorry, but yea, ofc. even the perfect working xbox's will die at some point due to wear.)
 
alot of times ms will just send a new xbox back instead of fixing, everyone i know that has sent it in has gotten a new console back, and g4m3r fixing ur self isnt a perm fix, they are temp fixes pretty much, if u have the warranty from ms then use it, it might be a little longer gettin it back but ur chances of getting a new system is good, and if there is something wrong they will take it again. ive had my xbox 2 years not had one problem

My first one is working fine, and I have friends that have fixed theirs permanently.
 
can u tell its permanent can u tell me if i will have a good job in the next year, seems like u can tell the future, read 360 forums or post in one they will tell u that can never gurantee the xclamp fix or ne of that will last very long, ive had them only last 2 weeks, do it again might get a month before i have to fix it again.. like i said if u have the ms warranty use that before trying to fix yourself..
 
Will they fix it and send it back? Or give you a new one?

Because mine doesn't have an HDMI port :( But it's been working for about two years now.
