mine actually just died a couple days ago too. wtg microsoft! i pulled all the wires, HD out, etc… it worked fine for about an hour session, next day it was smoked again. i know its like $ 125 to send it in, and i’ve browsed the random instructions here and there for the fixes.
13005ted - would you PM me the directions/steps you took so far in your repair attempt? (or anyone else who knows how to do it properly for that matter).
