                   XBox Customer Support1-800-469-9269. Call them BEFORE opening 
                    any box on warranty. If your 360 is still covered, the only 
                    thing you should do is get the final error code before contacting 
                    MS.

                | Understand that, by opening your 
                  360, you void the warranty. If you choose to follow me or anyone 
                  else on a DIY fix, you do so of your own free will. I don't 
                  recommend that you do this ... but here is how! 8~) |

                   Remove the Hard Drive before you do anything.

                | You should have some confidence in 
                  opening electronic equipment. I have easily had my hands inside 
                  of a 100+ computers, so a 360 was not a huge leap.  |

                | The components on the 
                  board will not take well to movement and should not be touched 
                  unless that is the component you wish to work on. On board Ram 
                  would be vulnerable to an electric shock The 360 is finicky 
                  as it is, if it is not broken, don't touch it. | 
               
               
                | As the power supply is a seperate 
                  unit, the 360 is a relatively safe console to work on ... as 
                  long as the power is not plugged in! | 
               
               
                | Use of a towel to force your 360 
                  to over heat is not a recommended cure. While it make work for 
                  some instances, every time you do it you will be jeopardising 
                  other components. If you choose to do this I would advise you 
                  to first remove any DVD or game from the console to avoid warping 
                  it. The Hard Drive as well. |
