xbox dvd drive on the way out

    As the title says for the last few months my dvd drive has been on the blink - it won't eject the dvd's when it was standing vertical, so I put it horizontial and it worked for a few months, but now it wont eject when horizontial... so is pretty useless.

    When MS extended the warrenty for 3 years due to 3ROD - was this purely to cover the 3ROD or was it for the whole console ? As I know this is a common issue with the 360, but would like to know if MS are covering this under the warrnety, before I try and talk to thier support fools.

    Thanks

    Apparently you can force the 3RROD error using some sort of towel trick and this will get you xbox repaired or replaced....

    Thats trick stops the rrod for a period
    How ever i have heard that covering the vents with duct tape can help rrod along

    Like everyone else says, it's 3 years warranty for RROD.

    Everything else, however, is 2 years. I thought it was only 1 year like in the UK, but 2 years in Ireland. I got my disc drive replaced last month, and I have my 360 since December 2006.

    Thanks for the replies - mines a launch day console - which was replaced about a year ago due to 3ROD.

    Looks like I will have to shell out the cash for a replacement drive !

    I don't see why not - let me get my drive replacement first - if it goes back to MS thou - they won't return my old drive I guess ? just bang in a new one.
