    Giive Microsoft a call about maintenance. If you've had it for a year it's still on warranty. They'll have you run some tests and then if they can't get you to fix it they'll replace whatever you need.

    Also I hear replacement is free if it's Red Lighted.

    Three red lights-error has a three year warranty, any other kind of error is standard length (one to two years depending on country).

    Just make sure they don't send you back the same 360 you sent in. They did that to my friend like, 3 times in a row before they got it right.

    But yeah, unless you dumped your soda in it or something they should replace it.

    First time around I sent my 360 I got another console. Second time I sent I got back the same (but the motherboard was exchanged according to repair-papper).
    There is nothing that states they must send you another console instead of repairing it (although some countries have in law how many times a product may be repaired for the same error within a timeperiod).

    Its actually better if you do get the same back in regards to drm-protection they got on xbla-games. If you get another console you must call support to have them reset the games to the new consoles ID-number.(Otherwise you must be signed into xbox-live to be able to play the xbla-games purchased with first console).
