The standard warranty expired in 12/07. That means the 3 years passed in 12/09 I believe. :(

Phone up. When I had RROD I checked mine it said that it had expired several months before, but when I phoned up they said that it was out of warranty the month before. I don't think that website is 100% accurate. Phone them up, it won't cost you much to find out (It's free in this country).

I gave them a call and it is passed the three year warranty. Not sure what to really do with it now other than sell it for parts. I am incapable of repairing it my self and it seems like paying someone else is expensive. Unless someone has another idea?

No, it's a broken pice of technology. Either get it recycled or sell it as parts.
If you want a new 360, they're not expensive! :)

Give it to me! Five dollars! :lol:

I'm sure you can sell it cheap to someone who wants to have a go at fixing it. Flux and a heat gun might do it, or it might need a go in a real rework station.
