Default Re: Ah crap, I gots the RROD

Ah you got RRoD'ed too?
I don't know the experience personally (i.e. mine hasn't died, but I've seen the RRoD in person yes).

As far as I know, the microsoft warranty is 1 year.
Then they discovered that any pre-March-2007 manufacturing ones had Mobo/overheat problems and were prone to RRoD almost 99%.
So it possibly raised to 2 years after that.
(or was it from 2 to 3 instead of 1 to 2?)

It's what I remember my friend telling me anyhow, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

Best idea for Warranty info: Phone Microsoft toll free line as directed on box of 360 or in its user manual.

Data-extraction is easy: plug the hard drive into another 360, which you can hook to your PC. (VIA USB or some other uplink) Not sure where to go from there though.
If the hard drive is dead, then I don't have a clue.
