my xbox has thre ring of death does anyone know where i can get it fixed for a cheap price

Used this method and it worked a treat. Obviously sending it to Microsoft is the correct way to do it but if you are out of warranty and are good with your hands and take care to follow the steps fully you should be fine.
Good luck

im sorry but some of the information given here is plain wrong you wont get blocked from xbox live by getting a third party repair.
And its ridiculous to think it will.
Do not follow that instructable it does much more damage than good.
you will be lucky if that "fix" lasts more than than a month and it will bring the succes rate of any real repair way down.
If you want to fix rrod or ylod for that matter a rework station is needed.
there is an awful lot of bad info regarding rrod on the internet.
if your console is under warranty get microsoft to repair it for free.
if its not under warranty get a third party repair.
ask them if they use a rework station if they dont find someone who does.
that was a pain to type on a phone

Unless the repair shop have a direct authorisation from Microsoft, the console is liable to be banned from Xbox Live for tamper/modification.
And most likely the repair shop won't.0 -

Microsoft don't even repair the xboxs themselves,they have a contract with a large third party repair company in Germany.
And anyway how does microsoft know if you had a third party repair your xbox ?
Please explain.
The only way of Microsoft picking up on tampering or modding is with a modified dvd drive firmware or The jtag hack etc.
Both of these practices have absolutely nothing to do with a rrod repair.
Not trying to be a dick or anything but some of the assumptions on this forum about rrod and repair here are ridiculously wrong
So true, a lot of people on here are misinformed they really should stop by the Console Modding forum more 0 -

They have service contracts with several repair centres, not just based in Germany. The service centres
Misinformed? I wouldn't say that. When you deal with hundreds of modded consoles and console bans, you get a little "informed".

Please pay attention the OP is looking for a repair he is not interested in modding his console.
Yes you are misinformed that terms of use means nothing Microsoft have no way of determining if a console has been repaired by a third party unless they had physical access to the unit.0 -
