That's an awesome way to void your warranty. Or you could send it back to MS and get it fixed for free while keeping your warranty in tact.

Thats sounds just as bad as the towel trick MS is giving 3 years warranty so they will fix all red light issues for free for 3 YEARS FROM WHEN YOU GOT THE SYSTEM. So stop trying this sad tricks and call MS and get it fixed right. Everyone even those who bought the system at launch will get the system repaired at no fee.

Xbox 360 Premium = $399.99

Pennies = $ 0.08

Voiding your free 3 year warranty and possibly bricking your 360 = Priceless

I was looking for the sarcasm, but I'm not sure it was there. In case it's not, you spend 8 cents to void your warranty against any other problems you might get (ie drive problems, updates gone wrong).....or you send it back to MS still under warranty and are still under warranty for future problems.

So after reading this post again, I really have to hope it's a joke thread. What's the "center piece of the motherboard"? You mean the processor? Beyond that, were's the obligatory "owned" post?

You should've done the towel trick, since it wouldn't have voided your warrenty.
