Isn't it still covered by the Microsoft extended warranty....??? They extended the standard warranty beyond 12 months (to 3 years I think... can't remember) due to all the failures.

Even if it's a launch day machine it should still be covered by the new extended warranty.
edit: covered if it's died with the red ring of death

Unhappy problem

No only quadrant 3 "fault code R78" HDMI reading error, so according to Microsoft as it's not RROD - 3 year warrantry doesn't apply

Even if it isn't coverned, then surely it will be a standard repair charge of around £80 won't it? - Got to be cheaper than buying a new one hasn't it?

I guessed it was an Arcade from the wording, or more acurately it wasn't an Elite but had HDMI. Should be under warranty either way though.

wrap it in a towel to overheat it and trigger a RROD...

If it has HDMI then surely its less than 12 months old is it not? and hence in warranty.
