    Unusually caused Red Rings

    This story goes back to about July, My Xbox had broken to 3-red rings, I FINALLY got it sent in on the 12th of December and it was returned by the 23rd. I promptly bought Call of Duty: MW2 to celebrate.

    About 4 weeks later (January 20th or so) I went into a match. Halfway through, somebody hit me straight-on with a predator missile. Shortly after, I was experiencing a bunch of Black static on my TV screen. (Or as quoted by wikipedia,
    checkerboard or pinstripe patterns on the screen) The moment I shut down the Xbox. E74 Error.

    I'm thinking they screwed up due to trying to ship it back before Christmas and rushed it, is there any alternative to fixing this error before I try to send it in (again)

    There had been reports off MW2 breaking some, due to the demands, no conclusive proof.

    Send it back, and make them give you something in return too.

    If it is still under their "free repair" warranty I'd send it back, otherwise I'd open is and do the X-Clamp fix and apply new thermal grease.

    Definitely send it back and make them fix it, if you have the warranty.

    Send it back, if they figure out you toyed with it (even though you didnt break nor make something) they will for sure bring the cause to that, and thereby making you pay for the repair.

    Yeah, my warranty was expired when I sent it in during holidays, of course, if they fix it, you get a free 90 days, so I'm good until march. Sending it in this Friday.

    Thanks for the help all.
