No more faulty xbox 360’s …Please!

UK-based repairs specialist Micromart has told GamesIndustry.biz that it has had to refuse to service Xbox 360 consoles that display three red lights, dubbed the Red Ring of Death.

“We were seeing about 30 a week before we pulled the plug on the service,” said Jeff Croft of Micromart.
“We saw it over a period of several months and it was just getting worse. It began towards the end of last year. Once the twelve month warranty finished then we started to see more and more machines being sent in to be looked at.”

Micromart acts for individual retailers who send customer’s goods to the specialist. Croft says his company pulled the service after discovering problems with the motherboard, and that that repairing the console wasn’t financially feasible. Even after working on a number of machines, the company didn’t feel comfortable with the end result.

Croft said the company had written to Microsoft to inform it of the problems encountered but had received no reply.
