Call the Microsoft repair center, they'll email you a legit shipping label, get yourself a boxyourbox.com shipping package, and call UPS for pickup. You'll have it back in a couple weeks, repaired by Microsoft with genuine parts. All the instructions you need are here: http://www.boxyourbox.com/returning-your-xbox.html -John Mira -

I did find a company called BoxYourBox that will priority mail you all the packing materials you need to return a xbox - a box, packing peanuts, tape, instructions. Just slap the MSFT label over theirs and call UPS for pickup. They're worth checking out, super convenient if you don't want to make an extra trip to the post office / packing supply store. http://www.boxyourbox.com/ Microsoft no longer sends you a return shipping box (just the pre-paid label).

This one worked for 1 hour! I don't know what's wrong with it and cannot get a hold of anyone from Amazon or the company who sent it to me. Is there any sense at all at this point of contacting Microsoft about it or am I totally screwed because this was a refurbished model?

I've heard a few say they've sent in multiple times, the ones they got in exchange failing as well. Guam - Yep, again noting that some failures are covered under the special 3 yr extended warranty. But if you're not covered you pay (~$100 iirc) both - if having to pay for a refubished you're probably much better off selling your dead XBOX on eBay or some such and buying a new one, especially if it's older than 3 years Chaz – I’d not heard that, far as I know it’s just an extended 3 yr warranty for certain types of failures, and not limited to 1 time.

Props, to you, by the way. Anyway, my question is: is it true that Microsoft extended the warranty to all X-Box owners to one free-send-in (I understand that -if this is true- it is old news and apologize)? If not, how much did your refurbish cost? Thank you, The Chaz Hello,

And the new serial number label will have the date it was refurbished on, not manufactured so there'll be no way to tell from that. You might luck out and get a jasper, or I've read you might even get a launch console.
