There's a million threads on this so i'm not going to re-state how to do it. or if you're lucky, It hasnt been opened and is less than 3 years old, then MS will take it |

nope , FW mods will get you banned but this is just simply applying a stress to the hardware to re-connect some loose connections, hardly something MS can detect

Did you buy it of an independent person? or from a shop used..?
Im always wary about buying from people sadly nobody is honest these days i say try get your money back very unlikely even if you fix it its going to be a reliable system best just to buy one straight out and be done with it obviously if he does'nt give your money back then a fix is worth the try but again not reliable i would have taken it back seconds after if i saw that

How does one treat right an X-BOX? 99 % of people set them up use them according to the manual.

People lay them down on carpets (poor airflow) put them in full enclosures (poor airflow) put them against walls (poor airflow) put them near the heat output of their TV (poor airflow).

thats wat im wondering, how can u treat it wrong? if u use it as a coffee table

only way i can think of treating it wrong would be to kep it on 24/7, not giving it any ventilation, constantly moving it around and dropping it regularily
anyways.. bad luck op, i bought a used 360 of my gf's bro and glad i had like 3-4 hours test on it before i even paid for it xD... and shouldnt gamestop test there systems ? looks like gamestop are gonna keep trying to shift this console until someone decides to attempt and rrod fix on it voiding there chances of returning it

The few I fixed using this, as long as I did the first repair on it and no one did it wrong the first time are actually still working to this day. Working fine for over a year now
