Default Help! Where to get an Xbox 360 flashed locally?

Hi, I had an xbox for xmas with the special firmware on it. Anyway. Yesterday the guy that sold it to me said it would be fine to go on xbox live and do the update, which I did. I now get error code 66. It basically means that I need the console reflashing. Does anyone know of a person or place locally that I can take it to to get fixed? If you do please contact me ASAP.
Cheers

Jason

always a dodgy one this - depending on which firmware its got as there are some which for now X-box live wont pick up and if the do they will ban you for life - its a very big risk, no doubt the PS3 will do the same. If you want to use online gaming then its not worth the risk IMO.

Maybe worth a trip to a local computer show normally somebody there that does them, think the one closest to yourself maybe Wolves Racecourse.
