Hi,

my Xbox 360 keeps hardlocking up after 10 minutes of the unit being turned on. Around a year ago it had the RROD issue which Microsoft repaired by me sending it to Germany.

The warrenty is currently run out of the console, I could pay around £60 to send it to Germany again, or get a new unit.

What would you guys recommend I do? if I send it to Germany would I get a refurb unit?

I have heard that 90% of the overheating problems are caused by dust clogging up the heatsinks inside the case, is this true? if so, I might try and fix it myself!

Thanks

I'd probably just sell the broken one on the bay and buy a new one.
