So I have this friend who's got a 360 - Falcon motherboard - no HDD.

 It Rod'd once and he send it to repairs. He got the thing back working and he modded it to run pirated discs. It ROD'd again and he doesn't give shit about it anymore for many months now. He says I can have it for 70 bucks. The console is still in warranty.

While I don't like much the console, I'm not stupid, 70 bucks for a 360 is a great deal.

My question: How can I get it repaired using the warranty? The system is modded but I've heard about people who got their modded 360's repaired by Microsoft.


If he modded it he likely voided the warranty (which is why he didn't get it repaired, not because he doesn't care).

I wouldn't believe random stories you've heard unless you can see actual proof.  If he opened the case to mod the 360, the warranty is voided.

Also, research always helps.  Not only is your friend offering you a 360 you will have to pay to get fixed, he's overcharging you.  Get a new friend that isn't an asshole.

Lol, great advice.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Thanks for the advice everyone, this is kinda pointless now but just to clarify the whole pirated fixed console:

Yes I've seen it, the console needed to be opened again, the official firmware has to be installed again and when assembling it back, somehow there's a way to put it like it just came out of the factory, with the seals in the right place. That's how people with modded 360's get them repaired again.

I think I'll try to buy it for 40$, I'll show my friend the ebay page and have a deal.

And he's a good guy, he's just not very instructed on the matter (neither am I) and both of us were thinking 70$ for it would be a nice deal...
