yea... you are SOL my friend... too bad it didnt happen about 6 months ago... sorry. but as opposed to buying a new one... they should only charge you like 150 I think to get it repaired or replaced... I think... call them.
mine is bein sent in right now and bein repaired, their is a quick fix but i don't reccommend it because it could mess up somethin inside it. So i would just send it in. Hey atleast you get a free month of xbox live =)
ive had the 3 rings like 4 times. But its cause of my outlet. not with my 360. Never heard of the blue checkerboard thingy. Just get it replaced. Much cheaper than buyin a new one.
This happened to me too, except the checkerboard looking thing was grey. :? And it's done for btw, I sent mine in and it should come back around Monday.
Don't buy a new one. I had my 360 for a year and a half before it died, meaning no warranty, no nothing. I called MS, the girl (a real human!)was actually really nice and was very helpful. For the price of like $140 they handle shipping, a free month of Xbox LIVE and a one-year warranty. I ended up actually getting a new system back from them. I was tempted to just buy a newsystem myself to avoid the hassle, but I'm glad I didn't.
