1.here is information from Microsoft(see link below):
If your Xbox 360 console requires repair, it must be returned to a Microsoft service center for service.
Note We recommend that you use only Microsoft-approved service centers. Using an unauthorized service center will invalidate the Manufacturer's Warranty, and could exclude your console from future service by Microsoft. Full details of the Manufacturer's Warranty can be found in your Xbox 360 Console Warranty manual.
2. I recommend you to get a good Xbox 360 fix guide. You will be able to avoid all the sending cumbersome process and also avoid the long waiting.
There are many Xbox 360 fix guides that really easy to understand with step-by-step videos. (see link below)
Either send it to Microsoft or take it somewhere. Or do it yourself.
Yes
Yes. All Xbox 360 consoles are prone to overheating, which causes the RROD.
Yes if you play the xbox 360 for a short time.
no
No, they won't. If you're out of warranty, you might want to look up ways that can potentially fix a red ringed 360.
yes it can but not as much as the regular xbox 360 because of the newer fan that Microsoft has included in the slim 360 so there is alot less over heating if you don't wan to get the rrod very much then you should go with the slim xbox 360.
You can either send it to Microsoft and see what they can do, Buy a cheap but new xbox 360 from a site such as Amazon or Ebay, or you can try to repair it yourself with the many Guides on youtube. Hope your Problems getg solved.
Im pretty sure any xbox 360 can get it, if youre a hard core 24 hour gamer, then you might get it because the xbox gets rrod from it overheating.
Yeah cus mine did :( i feel sad
send it to Microsoft for the best results or try one of the following: unplug it for 1 min. and plug it back in wrap a towel around it buy the new xbox 360, it doesn't have the RROD problem and it has more memory
You do not need to over heat the Xbox 360 to do the X-Clamp mod
