Ok so ive had it for a while and worked fine. Then i started getting the red ring. I know about the warranty they made for 3 years but... I tried registering my console and the serial number was already used.

Can someone please help or can u call the support and tell them?

call support and tell them, however you should have done this right away.. they may not let you get warranty. My system was used but i called support and registered my serial number and everything worked out just fine.

Never buy a preowned console, you will NEVER know what booby traps have installed for you.

ok captain obvious..

anyways, mine is used but then again i know what im shopping for and know what "booby traps" there are.

You shouldnt have to pay for the repair, MS did announce the 3 year warranty and is compensating all who paid to fix their 360s in the past years. You should be ok.

you can try and unplug your 360 from the outlet and let it set for about 6-8 hours
