Guru's issue looks like a cable problem.

Nope. I tried the component out, composite out and then tried a known working HDMI cable and still nothing. Ticks me off that it isn't giving me any red rings.

I have never heard of them breaking down like that. It always gives you some kind of indicator if its not working correctly. Should justcall up tech support and see what they say, if not, seriously try to force yoru shit into a red ring. |

Everything I have read about this "towel" method indicates it is only a temporary condition and the unit will start doing its normal thing again. How long am I supposed to keep it wrapped if I do go ahead and do that? As common as this problem seems to be it irks me that M$ doesn't cover this.

There was a discussion of this problem in February 2008, in THIS thread. My problem started with a "watercolor" effect and ended with no video. It was the GPU. And they ended up replacing it, even though there was no RROD. |

Guess that explains why the same fix for the RRoD is working for the video problem. Something to do with replacing the heatsink X-cross mounting. They really need to just go ahead and include this in the 3 year warranties. Sounds like they might be by default but they don't come right out and say it.

I called them and repeatedly referred to the posts in the official forum detailing the problem and they finally relented. |

They do still send the coffin right? I selected that option but just got an email telling me to package the product and print a shipping label. When I go to the repair site it doesn't have an option to print a shipping label. It does show the order is in process and a picture that says box shipped but it has only been an hour. No way they have already shipped a box.

Just called them. They confirmed a box was on the way. Didn't realize the repair could take 3-5 weeks though. jeez. Figures this would happen right before my sons birthday this week. ugh.

I know it's a bit late, but I'm playing through LO right now. I just started the second disc, but it reminds me a lot of FFVII and VIII, with a little VI thrown in. I'm really enjoying it.
