Submit proof of purchase in the form of a bona fide, dated bill of sale, receipt, or invoice (or a copy) evidencing that your request for service is made within the Warranty Period.2. Follow Microsoft's shipping and other instructions if it determines that all or part of your Xbox Product requires return for repair or replacement. To obtain the warranty service, you must take or deliver the Xbox Product in suitable packaging that provides an adequate degree of protection against damage during transit, to the location specified by Microsoft. Except as otherwise required by legislation in your jurisdiction, costs associated with transport (including packaging) for warranty service shall be at your expense.3. Delete or remove any files or data you consider private or confidential prior to sending the Xbox Product to Microsoft.Failure to follow the above instructions may result in delays, cause you to incur additional charges, or may void your warranty.Additional assistance via phone, e-mail or live chatIndicates: The AV Cable cannot be detectedSolutionFirstly ensure that the AV Cable is still securely connected to the console, and that it hasn't slowly worked itself out. If that doesn't do anything, try cleaning the plug (the part that connects to the console) with a dry cloth. If the console still doesn't detect the cable, and you are able to source another, try using that cable; if that works, the cable is faulty and will need to be replaced. If the new cable also does not work, the AV port on the console could be faulty, which will require repair.Indicates: General Hardware FailureSolutionAttempt to restart the console, if it boots and the error does not reappear, then you're fine for the moment; be aware though that this could be a sign of an oncoming complete failure which will need to be repaired. If it does not boot, disconnect everything from the Xbox, then reconnect and turn the console back on. If that also does not work, ensure that the power supply (the large box connecting to the console) has a green light when the console turns on (when the console is off, it's normal for the light to be yellow). If the power supply does not show green, then disconnect the power supply, and try another power socket; if that does not work, you will need to send your console in for repair.Indicates: OverheatingSolutionWait for the console to cool down by itself, and once the temperature has dropped far enough, you'll be able to use it again. However, if the console is overheating, it's generally a good idea to move it to a location which has good ventilation on all sides, as enclosed spaces heat up far quicker then open spaces.Indicates: Various, specific error code will appear on your TVE67, E68, E79These could all have something to do with the hard-drive. Try taking the hard-drive out from the 360 and playing without it. If the error message disappears, then your hard-drive is faulty, and you will need to get a replacement. If the error message still appears, then something else is wrong with your 360, and you will need to send in the 360 for repair.Any Other Error MessageAny other error message is not user-serviceable. You will need to return your console for repair.What are the new Xbox 360 revisions (Falcon and Jasper)?Since its release, the Xbox 360 has had two different hardware revisions released in retail, Falcon (which was released first) and Jasper (which is the current revision). These revisions have progressively reduced the chance that a console will experience the RROD by addressing one of the key factors, heat.The Falcon revision reduced the CPU down to a 65nm manufacturing process, and Jasper reduced the GPU down to a 65nm process as well. Put simply, by moving down to a 65nm process, the CPU and GPU require less power to run, and less power results in less heat being output. This means that the temperature inside the console will be lower, reducing the chance of overheating and also the RROD.How do I tell what revision console I am buying/receiving from the repair center?Currently the most reliable way to tell which revision the console is, is by checking the wattage of the powersupply, which can be found on the powersupply itself. Falcon revision consoles have a 175W powersupply, while Jasper consoles have a 150W powersupply. The original console had a 203W powersupply.Since getting a new console back from the repair center, I can't use any of my purchased XBL Marketplace content without being signed into Xbox Live. How do I fix this?As the DRM used for Marketplace Content locks the purchased ...

Well, my gaming has come to a standstill because of the open tray error. I've had it come and go for a while and it seems to be getting worse. I tried banging the top, I tried clearing the cache, I tried opening up the 360 and cleaning the laser, and it persists. It's not an issue of "the laser isn't working" because it reads my old games just fine. It seems like the newer my games get, the less likely it is to read them, even if they are immaculate and brand new. Please advice?
