Faulty xbox 360?

I returned an xbox 360 last year to HMV (End of Nov 2008) and recieved a replacement. My fan has started to make a really loud grinding sound and I mean REALLY loud and I fear the console may be on its way out. As its still within the 1 year consumer warranty would this be ok to return to HMV purely on the fan basis? I just know it will die just after my warranty runs out!

Re: Faulty xbox 360?

Will only know if you try! If not and you dont want to send off to MS and pay for a fix, just install a new one. Its the easiest soft mod, I mean customisation you can do imo.

Let me know if you do and Ill direct ya to a good replacement.
