In case your Xbox is out of warranty and needs a repair

[vontoxic]

So, one of my Xboxes got the E71 error and I requested a repair through Xbox.com and it turns out it would cost $100 to fix. Ain't no way I was going to pay that much for a stupid dashboard error.

I was looking around the xbox support site and I saw that you can extend your warranty for $25 for 1year or $50 for 2years. So I'm just going to get the 1 year extended service plan, have my problem fixed for 1/4 the price and be covered for the rest of the year. I didn't realize that extending the warranty would be that cheap!

So there you go guys, I'm sure some of you have a spare broken xbox 360 somewhere in your closet you would like fixed for cheap :). You can purchase the extended warranty through the phone (1-800-4MY-XBOX) or at any of the Microsoft Store retail outlets (Store Locater (https://store.microsoft.com/Locations)).

That sounds good and all, but can you extend a warranty after the original warranty has already expired? I would guess probably not, but if so, that is a great plan.

Oh my god if this works this is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

I reread the thing on the website and I think you are right. Im going to call tomorrow anyways and see what I can do.

I would also shop around. I know here in Rockford there is a place that claims (havent needed to use their service) to fix most xbox errors for something like $40 bucks. Might be worth looking into.

This is what I was thinking and it's probably not going to happen. Big companies like this aren't going to let something like this slip through the cracks for long.

Good find :) Thanks for sharing

Boy do I wish I saw this thread 2 months ago. I tried fixing it myself after my warranty ended, thinking it were my only option. Nevertheless, thanks for the help man, great find!

Ever find out if you had to still have warranty?

Sorry I forgot to update you all.

Yes, you would have to extend your warranty while you are still within your original warranty. So you cant be a sneaky beaver. :/
