Dead XBOX 360

It works for about 10 to 15 minutes then freezes up and gives me the 3 lights.. red circle of death.. whatever it's called.  Does that sound like overheating?  It doesn't work unless I let it sit for a few hours at least.  I tried opening it up to see if I could do anything, but I can't get the back off because of the 7 snapped in pieces.  Anyone know if Microsoft still fixes launch 360s for free?  Mine was made in November '05.

every system switched to a 1 year warranty, Check out Xbox-scene.com 's fourms as they might be of help.

Your mistake may have been trying to open it up...  hopefully you didn't break any stickers or seals, cause if you did, you've probably voided your warranty.

My warranty was up in January.. I'm trying to fix it without paying anything to MS for making a faulty XBOX.

Thanks for the forum link.. I found the error codes.  Most of the time it's giving me a 0100 meaning it's overheating.  Some of the time it's giving me a 0102 which means MS screwed up on manufacturing and it finally just died.  I guess I'll pull the heatsinks and put some new thermal grease in.
