360 graphics going but no red lights

My 2.5 year old Elite is showing all floruescent colours and looks like it is going. Spoke to MS who will repair it for £98 as it is over 1 year old, yet if I had 3 red lights it would be covered under warrant until November this year and therefore free to repair!

Am I likely to get 3 red lights soon? Can I do anything to encourage the 3 red lights

Cheers

Are you sure it isn't red ringing

Just send it off and get it fixed.

Tell them it is..then send it off. The GPU broken it should be RROD.

Tell them the RROD is broken too

Yeah just tell them its broken with 3 red lights. Mine had the e74 error before they changed it to cover it, Rung up they said that it was £70 or something, left it a day or too and said it had 3 red lights. Sent off and fixed no questions asked.

As already said, just pretend it has the three red lights. I've done this a few times and every time the console has been replaced for free.

This just happened to me too! No audio or video when the xbox is turning on. Will be sending it back.
