This has got to be the third time Ive beaten a boss ive had a hard time on (Devil may cry 4) and the ****ing laser in the 360 stops running after i beat him. No its not the disk. Its in mint condition. I get the white screen of death 90% of the time when i start my xbox however and have to pop the disks in and out consistantly before the friggen thing decides to run. The warrenty is already void im sure since i purchased this box in jan of 06.

Is there a specific part i could simply order and install myself? Or is the dvd laser in there only licensed to the xbox its on? (lock out security is what im worried about)

Seems strange? :\ Maybe you should just pay for a repair?

120$ and 4 weeks of waiting. I dont think theyd send me mine either. Most likely simply another xbox they think is running. Ive seen some bad scenarios where people get their xbox's back and then something ELSE is wrong with them.

Take it (or send it) to a place like this: modspace.com.au . These types of businesses thrive on doing what microsft won't.

P.S: I am not recomending this shop at this time as I have yet to do business with them.

I guess that I got lucky. I got a shiny new 360 in about a week. The manufacturing date was from about a week before that. But then I got really unlucky when someone stole my shiny new 360...

Yeah, there's always the option of going with the new chip Core boxes - not that much more expensive than getting that repair done actually and you KNOW it's new and it's got a whole new warranty on it.

Sorry to hear about that... However, we have a stickied thread for broken 360 discussion. Thanks!
