I sent my xbox in a month ago for repairs... I got the extended warranty because of the E74 error. It had an intact warranty sticker on it. I was watching the progress on the xbox website and it said repair complete, etc... and that they shipped it...

So, it comes home today and it is the EXACT same xbox I sent them. I plug it in, and it still has the RROD. Inside the box they shipped back to me was a generic form letter that they use when they are shipping back an accessory that you included in your shipment to them, which I didn't...

However, on the back of the xbox is this red arrow sticker pointing at an area where it looks like there is pry marks in the holes... WTF! The warranty sticker was intact and they didn't fix it! Guess I'll have to x-clamp it now but I'm probably on their s-list and being watched on live. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Some @*#* just puts a red arrow sticker on the back pointing at one of the 'pop' holes and MS gets off the hook? Even with an intact warranty sticker? I am pissed! This is complete BS!

I take it you had opened it already? if so you voided warranty. bummer.

of course.... but the warranty sticker was intact... I don't get it! I am worried that now my console is on the 'list' for the next ban hammer or it will be put under the 'MS microscope' anytime I try to connect to live after I fix it.

Well.... On the XBOX website, it says that 'Standard Warranty: Expires: 02/27/2010'. I got the 'extended' warranty from the E74 error.... I don't know why MS would still say that this console has a 'standard warranty' if the warranty has been voided.... weird... But I'm happy that I got my Benq back.

I guess I'd be laughing too if it wasn't me... I spent good money on the warranty sticker but MS was more concerned about the 'pry' marks in the holes in the back... Guess I should have gotten one of those opening tools to begin with. But still, I am REALLY worried about now being under their microscope if I go on live again after I repair this console. So far, I've avoided the ban hammer.
