Flashed 360 Repair time

[Ferret76]

Sent mine in for repair with MS as it had 3rrod, they've only had it a day and sending it back already. The online service repair thing states a generic "we are sending it back either repaired or replaced".
Whats my chances of this actually happening?
From the speed of service I'm assuming they haven't actually fixed it and sending it back just as I sent it as it's been flashed.

Id assume repaired or replaced means its on of them, if they've only had it a day sounds like it might have been replaced

the fastest return I had from them was one week and they had repaired mine even though they said they wouldn't if I couldn't supply proof of purchase (outrageous since I threw my receipts away after the 12 months was up and it was before they announced they'd extend the rrod warranty to 3 years)

For one day, I'd assume that they haven't fixed it but if the online status is sent back repaired or replaced, I'd have to say it's replaced. Would normally say warranty void or somethin if they hadn't fixed it

I'd sort of assumed that as they only had it for one day it would have been for a quick look to see it's been tampered with and decided not to repair it.
Hopefully it'll come back working and still in it's flashed state.
The online service status page always did say "your console has been repaired/replaced" in the 4th box before they even had it. It's only just been highlighted as that stage of the repair.
Still got my fingers crossed, amazing if they have sorted it in one day, shame it had to go to Germany to get it fixed adding on a couple of days for transport.

Odds are if it's replaced, it'll have the Liteon drive

There are still a lot of BenQ drives coming out of the repair centre recently.

The last two I had come outta there were liteon's. Must have been unlucky :(

It's due back on monday (slow courier collection), will let you know what I get (if fixed)

[kill_bill]

Mine was received by them on a Saturday and sent back to me by a Tuesday

Be good to know what you get, keep us informed. I've got another one I'm going to send away and it be nice to find out if I need to buy a replacement drive in advance.

[Ferret76]

Motherboard and DVD Drive have been replaced.
Got the liteon drive now though.

[mp3boy]

Can replace with a flashed drive for £60 all in if you need it done.

[Ferret76]

thanks for the offer, I know you do a good job having done one or two for me in the past.
just considering my options atm, might sell everything as this is about my 9th console, getting fed up with failures now.

just sent off my first to be repaired-had it a few years now.
kept on getting unplayable disc so told MS it had 3rrod
just been collected by UPS, fingers crossed they repair and send back instead of sussing it didnt have 3rrod

[Akira181]

bout to send one of mine off too. Hoping I get lucky and get one that doesn't care about the warranty sticker missing.
