Well done davey.

I believe my Dreamcast in 2001 went to TCR and they did a great job of it.

Random thought off the top of my head - there's no risk of any changes to your console flagging you for banning from Live, is there?

I would hope not, I'm sure they've dealt with enough Xbox 360 repairs to know about the dangers regarding that and being able to work around it. When I call up to arrange collection though I will mention that to them.

Nope, it's saying that one company will no longer fix 360s with the three red light syndrome.

A quick update to this. Due to my back I didn't get chance to send it back until Monday of this week. I rang them on Wednesday and they hadn't had chance to look at it yet. Just rang them again today, and they said that my console is beyond repair. Due to massive overheating problems my motherboard had become seriously damaged, so they're sending it back to me. Thankfully now it shows the 3 rings of doom, so at least I can get it fixed for free, but rest assured Gameplay will be getting a very pissed off email over this, if they've just swapped it like I asked I'd have had a replacement a week ago.

Grrr, Davey is not happy.

Why are they sending you back a broken unit, surely they should now be replacing with a newbie?

They're just a repair house, I guess it's not cost effective for the to hold spare, working units.

It's not up to them, they're just a repair shop, it's not gone to Microsoft.
