Xbox Back from repair warranty question?

Got a refurbished unit swapped for mine back from repair at MS (original had E74 error).

Anyone know what warranty if any I would get with the refurbished unit, would have preferred to get my old unit back as it didn't have much use and was lovingly cared for.

I *think* it is 90 days, unless it fails with three red ring or e74 error, in which case it's three years. I think you can check warranty status in the support section of xbox.com

Re: Xbox Back from repair warranty question?

Just got mine back today (e74 repair), original manufactor date was 2007-09-18. so the 3 year warranty should have expired 2010-09-18 but new warranty expires 6-2-2010 giving only 90 days so it seems i'm loosing 7 months warranty.

Only took 7 days from pick up to receiving back.

Re: Xbox Back from repair warranty question?

You will get 90 days (3 months as most say) but it *should* still have a 3 year warranty for RRoD and E74 starting preety much from the service date now on the back of your console.
