hey guys... well I broke my line a couple of weeks ago and it will be out of action for a few months... sooo brilliant I thought, its cold outside I will just sit at home playing 360 for a few weeks, not go out and save some cash for the rebuild... which would have been a great idea had my Xbox not decided to f**king break on me too! so my car is busted and now I can't play Forza Motorsport 2 which I have been waiting to come out for the last 12 months... I need to get my hoon on! Thank the son of rajab for Foxtel otherwise I might be forced to actually speak to my flatmates hehe

so enough rambling, where should I take the 360 to get repaired? Its no longer under warranty, and I'm in Melbourne SE...

ps. its flashing 3 red lights at me when I turn it on and making hideous noises through the amp/speakers... it won't even boot up without a game in there:(

Well truthfully under warranty or not the problem is microsofts fault and is a hardware fault. So they should fix it for free either way. They sent the things out and they have had so many of the exact same problem. The hardware is faulty from factory so should be fixed at no charge. My 2cents. oh and yes i had the same problem, but had the warranty through EBGames so just took it in and got a straight swap on the spot. shame that runs out soon and knowing my luck the same thing will happen a few weeks after it does then send it off to microsoft to get it fixed.....again

That's what you get for f**king up production and rushing to market you mean :domokun:

3 year warranty is nice though..

Apparently if you get a towel or the like and wrap the 360, the heat can cause the dodgy joints to refuse and it may work again. Seemed to have worked for a few people.

Mines fine though, I never seem to have the same problem with electronics other people do? :thumbsup:

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
