My 360 is now dead. I got the three red lights.( hardware failure)
With the side code 102.I know it can be fixed with a heat gun but from what I hear its usually temporary. I also dont have one and am not wasting 50 bucks for one if it MIGHT fix it.In all likelyhood Ill just use the largest wattage blodryer I have too see if it works. btw the warrenty expired and I opened it.but it was made 1 25 06. I will proboably call and complain to Microsoft before I do the heat gun but I will not give up complaining. Or in the back of my head I had the idea to go to walmart and get a core and make sure the warrenty is so if it breaks then I just give it to walmart and get a new one. And switch mine with it and so I would have 2 360s I would just sell the other to gamestop or return for cash at walmart.Any thoughts?

I have tried that.still no avail.also I opened my 360 so any warretny that it may of had is void but the warrenty was already expired.

you have the perfect quote in your sig for this situation.

Why did you open it ? Have you modded your system ?
