Red ring of death

So did your box come yet?
 
My box finally arrived this afternoon! Thank god for the directions enclosed in the empty box or I would have forgotten to put the xbox INSIDE of it!
Yeaaay!

Now lets hope I didn't void out the updated warranty when I opened the case a few months ago. Don't really wanna pay $140 bucks for them to fix their own mistake.
I have a bunch of large parrots and all my electronic devices get full of bird dander and explode if I don't open em' up and blow em' out :/
*Crossing my fingers...*
 
I dropped my poor xbox off at the UPS store this afternoon. I handed him lovingly to the girl behind the desk and watched, appalled, as the dumb broad tossed him carelessly onto a nearby table.
My boyfriend dragged me out before I was able to get my purse around her neck.
I'm sure Frank will be beaten to a bloody pulp by the angry UPS employees around the world. I miss him already. :(
Yes.. I named my xbox Frank. Doesn't everyone else name inanimate objects?
It can't just be me!
 
Dude I wasnt even on that call with you and I am aggrivated for you........almost worse than when i tried to cancel aol
 
lmao the sad thing though, is that my dad is the computer tech. support guy for a series of high schools, and 9 times out of ten his conversation with the teachers goes:
T: my computer won't work
Dad: is it properly hooked into the network?
t: yes but the monitor won't work
d: is the monitor turned on?
t: yes of course the monitor is turned on, but theres nothing on it
d: is the computer turned on?
t: well i've been trying to tell you that it won't turn on!
d: is the computer plugged in...
t: yes of course its plugged in i'm not some kind of...oh...oh um...nevermind...

sigh...

that being said, as much pain as i know it gave you, reading that convo really made my night much better


My husband is a computer tech too, works for the cable company, and goes on an alarmingly large amount of calls where stuff is not plugged in and other truly retarded problems. It irks him totally that those calls get past the help desk and techs get scheduled lol. But it makes me laugh.

My brother had the red ring of death, his xbox is in the shop and they said it would be 4-6 weeks or so.
 
Holy Crap.. Just checked on Frank at xbox.com and it says Shipped to customer.
I can't believe they didn't call me out for opening the case. I guess my nice note addressed to "Microsoft xbox fixing people" explaining about my dirty parrots getting dust inside the case worked!
I also can't believe they are sending it back so fast.. I assumed they would wait 3 weeks and then toss a new one in a box! I sent it to them 11 days ago!
Woohoo!

Swayde, they told me 4-6 weeks as well.
 
WOW, really!! LOL, maybe they just sent a new one instead of trying to fix it!

Dude I wasnt even on that call with you and I am aggrivated for you........almost worse than when i tried to cancel aol

OMG...yeah, trying to get rid of AOL..take some nerve pills before that call!!!
