    They will repair it for you

    It will be under warranty too - they extended it to three years for this very problem

    Had the Red Ring of Death. Sent console off to Microsoft - was a bit apprehensive cos it had been chipped.

    They changed something (free) within it to make it work - it still does - but it's no longer chipped, and can't be for a while till the "chipper" works out how to do it, given the new parts it's got.

    Didn't take long either for Microsoft to do their stuff.

    I've Barsteward had it. sorry for my language but 2 weeks after Christmas it broke. Nice one - £200 + gone down the swanny.
    I think you can ring up and they send you some stickers which you put on a box with ur xbox in it and send it off with the stickers on the box.
    I haven't got round to it yet.

    It ain't the hard drive that gets chipped - It's the DVD Rom drive that has it's firmware flashed. Not something you can easily swap out. Also, with the warranty seals missing or damaged, microsoft are more than likely just return it un-repaired.

    If you do report it faulty to MS, they send you an email with labels to print out and your arrange collection for return with the courier (UPS).

    Your best way to return it, is to the supplier (Amazon, Game, etc.) - Here they may swap it out for a brand new one over the counter - It doesn't matter if it's over 12 months old, you can argue the Sale of Goods act (fit for purpose). Things like that this should last a min of 2-3 years. Don't let them fob you off with their suggestion of sending to Microsoft, that is only for manufactures warranty with is different to Sale of Goods Act.

    BTW - Slap wrists for getting your Xbox360 flashed (NOOO)
