How do they actually repair an xbox 360 when the red rings of death occur?

I just got my xbox 360 back after waiting five weeks, and I was wondering what do they really do to your 360 when you get the red rings of death? That, and why does it take so long for you to get it back? Doesn't it only take about 2 hours to fix it(atleast thats what I heard). I also live in Arizona, which isn't that far from Texas.How do they actually repair an xbox 360 when the red rings of death occur?
It depends, If its a minor issue, like the CPU or GPU are loss and they just got to tighten it back down then you most likely will get you old system back. However if it's something major you'll get a replacement system, and that replacement system can be someone else's or a reserve system. A reserve system is basically a system they got from the plant but instead of shipping it out to the market they kept it just in case something like this would happen. I know a friend who sent in a first gen. 360 and he got the new falcon cpu, hdmi system.
they take your system, and usually give you a different, refurbished xbox 360. they have so many systems that come in for repair, they just give you a different xbox that has the new cpu on it, rarely do they keep any of your original core components, they open your xbox, rip out the guts, put the refurbed board and drive into your case and ship it back....



sometimes they even send you a diff. case, my buddy always kept his dust free and spotless, and they sent him one that looked like it was stored in a dirt shack..he was so miffedHow do they actually repair an xbox 360 when the red rings of death occur?
I only got the Ring of Death on my halo 3 disc, which is irrepairable. I'd say they prolly take the whole thing apart, see whats wrong (since they probably have a thousand just like it waiting to be fixed) and fix it. they wouldnt tell you because then microsoft would lose all their money. Haha
Hi



The red rings of death effects the motherboard chips the GPU and the CPU, and also the soldering that holds them together. What they do is resolder the board so the connection is good again.
