    3 Rings of Death!

    Anybody ever got them for their 360? I got em yesterday, and I spent a lot of time this morning looking for the best solution. (My warranty ran out on the 12th, which made me really unhappy) I found this thing called the x clamp fix, and it worked! I hope it is a permanent fix, or at least lasts longer than the towel fix. I went out and bought the supplies at Radioshack and a local hardware store for $10, and spent 2 hours taking apart the entire thing, making the fixes, and then putting it back together. It was a lengthy and boring process, but it saved $190, so that's sweet. Anybody else ever gotten the RROD? And what method did you use?

    This happened to me last monday....I plan on calling the X-Box people about it. My friend Matt told me that he sent his in when it happened, and his wasn't under warranty or anything.

    If you call microsoft about it they will send you a box and then you send your xbox in the box to microsoft. They will fix it for free because it is not just a normal wear and tear sort of thing. It is a factory flaw and the will fix it for free.

    Just call Microsoft. They cover the 3 rings of death most of the time, even if you are without a warranty. I think as long as it is within 3 years of the purchase or something like that. I've had to send mine in twice and it was replaced for free both times and I never purchased any type of warranty.
