Sent on a Monday and received my repaired 360 on Friday of the week following. Took 9 business days, less than 2 weeks including shipping (and a 2-day shipping delay due to 'Mechanical Failure in Railroad Flatcar').
Still just a release-style Pro though, no HDMI as a nice side effect of needing the repair
Well, my 3 year old XBox 360 just bit the dust with the dreaded RRoD!
Has anyone else tried to fix it themselves? I opened it last year to fix a bad DVD drive, so it's not covered under warranty anymore anyway. Might as well give it a shot.
You're right, there are a ton of them. And they work too. I pulled it apart this weekend, made the "X clamp" fix, and it's working again!

so I come home to unwind put wife and kids to bed turn on the 360 and the x starts to go around and 4 red lights, no big deal, unplug video cable and then more red lights (not sure if it was 4 or not this time, but I turned it off and got my warrenty info to go) hopefully tommorow is better.
That's the E74 error. Luckily it's covered under warranty. MS isn't going to tell you what caused the error, and it's listed in their KB as a "Hardware Error." Here's more info on it:
The Elite already dropped price. It now costs $299, which matches the PS3 Slim. The $250 offer lasts for less than 2 weeks, so if you want it, grab it now.
