Dear Forummer,

Just want to ask. I bought my xbox 360 last year on November. Suddenly my unit failed to operate. I send back to the shop that i bought before. He said, Motherboard is failed. No warranty for hardware. Is it true for all shop like that?

if modded then no any warranty

even from shop I buy? if I now i dont buy modded xbox :

yes, how they warranty you?
if they already open the console up

They said . warranty only for technical job only. If they mention before about the no warranty for motherboard, I bet nobody want to buy a mod one. This shop quite reputable in lowyat forum.

everybody is misleading the word of "WARRANTY"
warranty is help you to repair and FOC only
motherboard can't be repair

There is an official manufacturer's warranty - that one more or less covers everything. Malaysia does not have an official MS service center and therefore reputable shops will help you to service your xbox by sending it to Singapore to be repaired.

Once you choose to mod the console, you're no longer covered by a manufacturer's warranty. Your "reputable" shop is therefore providing you with a "shop" warranty, whatever that's worth.

thanks for explaination. if buy an ori set, then faulty, nomally shop will charge for send it to singapore or not?

Usually they'll charge you a minimal ammount, or if you got the time and money, go down to SG yourself

Last I remember gamershideout offer such service to send warranty to SG, with RM20 if Im not wrong, even if the console arent bought from them.

suspected a jtag hacked mobo. New mobo hardly spoilt in a year.

thanks for respond guys. maybe i will buy nes xbox after this
