RROD/X-clamp fix kit

lets say that i sent my 360 to microsoft. what do that do to fix the problem?

It depends on what chipset you've got and what problem you had with your 360 initially. Depending on the issues (and if you've got a special box like a Halo 3/Resident Evil unit) they'll likely fix your actual unit. Generic Older Xenon units got a new heat sync and get sent back out. Ones with dead drives are given 'new' refurbs and are sent back out as well. I'm not sure what needs to be done with the 374 errors.

the only reason im asking is cuz i opened mine and saw 3 heatsinks. all the pics i seen online only had 2 heatsinks. all the videos/tutorial on how to fix a 360 where using a console with 2 sinks. so does that make it harder to fix myself?

Again, depending on whats wrong will depend on what they do to the system. The different chips will have different numbers of heatsinks on them. Now that you've opened it, MS won't touch it, so sending it in to them isn't an option.

i thought the seal wasnt broken but i was wrong. it wasnt fully ripped off when whoever opened before me.
i would rather shit on the motherboard than sent it to microsoft.

Unfortunately, only one of those options will fix a RROD.

I'd like to see the other on YouTube, however.

I always wondered...even if it's opened, what if you send it to them anyway but paying for the repair?

Would they still say no if the customer is paying the fee asked?

As far as I'm aware its part of the Terms of Use that you void the warranty if you open the Xbox (as it is with any of these systems) and if they find that the sticker has been damaged/removed that they will just return back the unit sent in and the money will be refunded with no work done.

There are ways around it though I have never used this method. You can buy stickers on ebay.
