Masterkiller> MS lets you keep your HDD when you send it in for repairs.

Yer I own one and its my 2nd, the 1st one I had kept freezing, makingstrange noisesand scratching discs. My 2nd one is working fine now luckily and its a great console but the reliability is shameful. I know other ppl who have been having plenty of problems. I would send it back and get your meney back buy something elserichboy900

If you bougt this Xbox 360 (brand new) then just send it to microsoft because all Xbox'es come with a full 1 year warrenty

(5 years for the ring of death 1 for everything els)

ha dude that sucks i got mine the month after they first came out and ive never had a problem with it.

if the problems the dvd drive i recommend laying it flat not standing it up

Off the topic some what but some people make the mistake and think they had the RROD but the cause was a quick power outage. Mine had a failure that caused the USB ports to stop working but it was fixed after I unplugged it and put it back.

Now for the topic creator, I have a faulty disc tray and one time I was so mad I grabbed the tray in and out and it went completely off of alignment so I had to take my 360 apart(not completely). I fixed the tray problem but it opens a little weird because I jabbed a plastic gear with a screw driver however it opens much better now. Mine opens better once positioned vertically. I dont recommend doing it the way I did, lol but it is possible to get it back.

That's static lock, when you unplug the cable from the system, give it 10 seconds, then plug it back in again, and it works. But that won't stop faulty dvd drives from jamming. That problem is because it was part of MS way to cheapen the console retail price. So to make it cheaper, they have cheap cases, cheap dvd drives, cheap ram, and cheap motherboards. The GPU and CPU are the most expensive parts in the console.

If your DVD drive is jamming, try giving it a shake with no disc in it, if you hear something rattling, then you have a broken piece of probably plastic inside that needs to come out. If you hear nothing, then its a motor problem, and you're going to have to send it in for repair.
