HANA chip is fried.

Better get a new 360 or use the AV cable.

 

Yep.

You could try and reflow the HANA chip and stick a small heatsink on it (if it works again)

But I don't think it'll work for long.


New 360 (or second hand Jasper from late 09 begin 2010) is the best option.
Since you got a Zephyr and those are known to RRoD.

 

Don't make fun of my 4:3 phatty telie );

It still looks quite amazing on a CRT tbh.

 

I play on a phat TV, never used HDMI at my house so I think I'm used to it!

 

I was wrong, it's actually a Falcon Xbox and not a Zephyr. Guess it doesn't matter now though lol.

 

If it's still under warranty then they'd likely replace it with a 360 Slim.
I say go for it.

 

They replaced under warranty old Xboxes with Xenon/Zephyr 360's back in 05/06.

So it's likely that if you send a under warranty Phatty that they'll replace it with a Slim.

Motherboard related is likely.
They can't simply replace a part on a Mobo ;p

DVD related probably not.
They swap out the DVD drive and send it back is what I think.


They did replace the non compatible XGD3 360's (with the 13xxx update) with Slims.

I say just go for it and try.
You'll never know ;]
Oh!
Take your harddrive off and KEEP IT AT HOME!
You can unscrew the HDD enclosure and fit it in the Slim if they send a 4GB version.

 

Then you should have no trouble sending it ;p

I'd say take the risk and post the results.
I'm also quite interested in what MS does to your console.

 

my cousin just sent his phat in a few months ago and they sent a phat one back again

afaik they arnt replacing them with slims back unless you sent a slim in

but send it in anyway, might get one now
