  you have to send it in to the company if you go on the website and call them they will send you a box to ship it in. you got the rings because youve been using it a lot. it takes about 2-3 weeks. and they give you a month of xbox free for the time you sent it in for. so it kinda works out. . .
  good luck.

  well you have to use the towel trick which you take all things of the 360 besides the power supply. Then you take one towel and wrap it around the system then take another towel and wrap it around the towel you just wrapped the system in then turn it on wait for 50 or 30 minutes. Then turn it back off and turn it on then it should work if not i don’t know.

  Do NOT do the towel trick.

  First thing you have to do is to have your xbox free to be aerated on all sides, don’t put it in a box but take it in a place where air circulates freely. Put it only on hard surfaces. If your problem keeps happening then you should change the thermal paste of the GPU with the arctic silver 5. There is a tutorial explaining this on the link i provide you, just look at the left of the screen and click on “three red light fix”:

  If you wanna save some money you can most likely fix it yourself. Check out the review site below you should be able to get it working under 1 hr. If it doesnt work theres a money back guarantee on all of the guides.
