So that means that I'll get banned for repairing my Xbox myself?

I got the RROD a year ago and fixed it by replacing the X-clamps that hold the heatsink together with the motherboard..that, and also replaced the cheap thermal compound that comes from factory with a quality thermal ceramic compound, also I made the stock fans run at a constant 12v, plus I modded the case by cutting out the back vents for better air flow output and on top of the case above the heatsink (horizontally) I cut out a 4 inch circle and added a 8mm fan that blows fresh air into the console that also runs at constant 12v ..

So, it won't be fair if my console gets banned just because I didn't send it to Microsoft for repair instead.

I'm sure its more complicated then that. Microsoft is specifically looking for people with modified hard drives that has potential to store games.

So far there has been no one that got banned that can prove that they have not modified their console in some way.

So i'm sure you wont get banned but you're warranty might have been void since you fixed it yourself.
