    ...... anybody know if you can buy these? Or anybody got one to sell?

    My lads is on the blink, seems like a dodgy wire cos sometimes the yellow light comes on and sometimes it doesn't.

    A few on e-bay around the £20 to £30 mark but can't find anybody selling them new.

    Suspect it might be another 'send off to Microsoft for an £80 repair' thing

    I know that Microsoft have extended the warranty to three years because of the three red light problem - you could always try and get it fixed under the warranty - if it's included. </p>

    If not you could try gamesstation - they may have one</p>

    The 12 month warranty is up ...................

    ......... and don't think this problem will qualify under the 3 year 'red light' extension to the warranty. Nobody seems to be selling these power packs, it's obviously a microsoft ploy to keep control of replacing/fixing them at great expense!

    Might have to resort to an e-bay bid but the nearest one is 2 days away from closing, then there's the wait for delivery if I win the bid = one disgruntled and bored 11 year old!
