But it appears the refurbs Microsoft sends out to customers are far more prone to repeat failure than new units. I understand why they do this though, as else they would be left with an enormous pile of consoles.
All evidence I read on the internet points towards a far below industry standards failure rates for new units. But the refurbs seem to perform far worse. Many people have given up on Microsoft to truly repair their boxes and thus do the repairs themselves by heatgunning the unit and adding new clamps to better secure the motherboard.
