2nd dead xbox

Hi,

Sorry, I'm being lazy, my 360 died on my this week following a period of non-use due to a case of tennis elbow.

Question is, will I have to pay for it to be fixed? This will be the second repair after the first time it died just before the years warranty ran out.

Cheers

Soze

Re: 2nd dead xbox

you should be able to do it through microsoft. I believe you get three years through them now.

No,the 3 year warranty only applies to the 3RROD error,nothing else,any other problem,you have to pay.

Re: 2nd dead xbox

Do you need to register the xbox unit for the 3 year cover or just keep the reciepts etc?.
