Daughter turned her xbox on today and the green led at the front flash`s red to green,also it`s making a clicking noise and said it need`s a service on screen.

I take it it`s borked now,shes had it scince it first came out.

On the service screen is there an error code?

From memory it would be 'E' followed by a number?

07 is the code thats come up.

IIRC 07 is harddisk timeout. Usually means the harddisk has broken, which could also account for the clicking.

Correct, error code 07 is a kernel error indicating HDD timeout.

yup it's the harddisk.

Original Xbox hard disk is easy to replace.

Pretty sure we can't talk about modifying the XBox though, which is why I didn't mention a solution

Not unless you chip it!!
An Xbox HD is locked to the eprom so just chucking in another HD from an Xbox will not work!!
