So my console suffered the three red rings last year and I sent it away and got it repaired for free.
As of today it's giving me two red rings in the left quadrant, which means the console is overheating. It does this after having the console on for about five minutes.
So I know that isn't covered by Microsoft's extended warranty. My question is, if I call Microsoft to get it repaired, does anyone have an idea of how much it might cost?
Thanks in advance.

I was going to, but as soon as it arrives at the repair centre, they'll see that it's two.
I'm searching around online trying to find a way to "force" the three red light error heh.

Ring it in as three red lights. I sent mine in without any issues at all. The thing is they couldn't guarantee that your machine will display the same problem that made you send it in. They just gut it and replace the drive.
You're better off taking the chance. Ring it in as another issue and you're basically asking them to charge you for it.

Thanks for answering guys. I ended up just buying a new core arcade pack. I figure I can sell my dead console, sell the games that I got wiht the pack to my mate, and not have to deal with shitty customer support.
