Microsoft reckon it could take a month before they get the xbox back to me. Does anyone know anywhere nearby who can fix this?

You would probably have to pay if you sent it anywhere else. Microsoft will replace under warranty.

Have to be careful with shops, not many will fix it as the ring of death isn't covered by the 360's insurance/warranty unless done by MS. Or that's what Micro$oft say, most likely so you send it to them tho! But if you get back in month well done, my friend waited 3 months, had it back and they'd wiped the HDD so had to send it back again for them to fix that. Has happened with his Xbox and Xbox 360! Xbox had a faulty DvD drive so nothing worked! 360, ring of death. BUT that happened to mine, so i just took it back to place of purchase [Game, but bought it off Game.net] and they just said to bring proof of purchase and they swap the console for a new one =D |

Apparently...products which have been produced since January 1st are now fixed of this problem but now i hear someone else has and when they rang up it had been manufactured after this date and still had ring of fire. Send it to Microsoft and just wait for them to send you a new one if it is permanently broken. It's better than paying for it to be fixed rather than waiting for a month. Be Patient!!!

Buy a PS3 the percentage of breakdowns are much lower.
I think X-Box's is 20% and PS3 0.8%

My mates PS3 burnt up on him.... as he was playing the PS3 got really warm and started to become black & white screen so he turned it off. It didn't come on again and now he has sent it to the 'nearest' place to be fixed which is apparently in Portsmouth.....
