Xbox Repair
First of all if you have not opened your Xbox and you are
having problems, think about calling 1-800-4MY-XBOX that is the customer
support number for Microsoft. If you have had it less than 90 days it
should be covered under warranty. If you open the box they will no longer
fix your system for a reasonable charge and it will become cheaper to buy a new
one.
