Spoke to microshaft today and they told me the following about my xbox which is not sending images to the screen.
If I had had the red ring the box would be covered by a 3 yr warrenty. As it hasn't my warrenty which ran out on 19th may 2007 doesnt cover this problem so it'll cost me £60 to fix!
I told them that i bought the first console on 24/8/06 and that it got the red ring so changed it for a new one on 19th may 2007. They would not budge when I told them how i could not believe that the warrenty is only 9 days over and that they could not budge on it. I could understand if it was 9 weeks or 9 months but 9 days!!!!!!
Gutted. Really am gutted.

bummer my advice - wrap it in a few towels, leave it switched on for hours and hours (and hours) to see if you can get it to RROD - if you can, send it back under warranty !!  |

Buy one from Argos, swap the console and take it back to the store the following day saying it doesn't work, full refund and a brand new xbox with 3 yrs warranty (photocopy the receipt)
Not that i've ever dreamt of trying that ;D
