(I hate calling it that, it's not even a ring. It's 3/4 of a ring)
I have one red light and the error "E71". I've had my XBox 360 since April 07, which means that my one year warranty is up. Now, to my understanding, the extended three year warranty only applies to the three red lights, which I've already fixed quite a few times with the towel (or in my case, raggedy sweater) trick.
Now, what I want is to find a way to manually give my 360 the three red lights so I don't have to pay the $94 dollar fee when I send it in.
I'm already trying to overheat it by running the towel trick until the system shuts itself down. But, the three red lights only appear immediately after I overheat the box. After it cools down, it goes back to one light. I plan on repeating this process until the three red lights don't go away.
What I'm asking is if anyone knows a better way to do it. I also want to know if Microsoft hold true to that warranty. I've heard about people who didn't have to pay a dime for sending it in regardless of the problem, but that could have been because they still had their one year warranty, I really have no idea. Something even better would be a way to fix the error but that's just wishful thinking.
Thanks.
