Well, looks like after three years of loyal service my Xbox has finally given up. It's hard to say what's more frustrating, that it just stopped being covered by the warranty, or that if I hadn't gotten some new pieces for my computer, I could probably replace it.

I used to repair Xboxes for side case up until last Sept, then I gave away my tools to my cousin when I got my current job.

My recommendation: Get an xbox slim.

Andre, you can actually sell the broken xbox for a decent price like $60+ on ebay if you mentioned it's never been fixed before.

There's still a huge market for people who buy broken xboxes and repair them. I would highly recommend against having your repaired since I assume it's an older model and it'll probably just go bad again.

It's one of the new-ish ones, but still 3+ years, so outside the warranty. And yeah, I actually really wanted to get a slim when they first came out, but obviously it didn't make sense. Once I can afford it, at least I have a reason to now :P

And thanks for the heads-up, I might look at listing it. :)

The better ones that don't break down as much were manufactured past Nov 2008. I assume yours is probably before that date.

Definitely sell it and get a slim.

My neck is killing me again. It was fine for about a week, and now it's back. I'm fine when I'm at my computer, but the moment I stand or move (or walk!) I get little jolts of pain. I'm not sure how I keep doing this. x_x
