What would happen if your 360 had some form of a hardware failure (no picture because a GFX card prb.) but no red lights of death came on. & you told them you had red lights. (ps my warrenty's expired so I didnt want to pay for it, because It just stopped showing a picture & i didnt do anything to it so I dont deserve to have to pay $100 for a repair when I didnt do anytihng.)
& yes I did everything diff cables. diff tv.. took Hd out everyting still no picture.
So I sent it in & they said Everytihng would be free because the new warrenty for 3 rings well I said it has them but it doesnt. So will they check it to see if it has 3 red lights and make me pay...or will they just find the prb & fix it for free??? Thx!!!

Even if they check it and there isn't the ring of death, they couldn't really say that you didn't see it before.
They always tell you to disconnect everything and then try again hoping that it will go away before they bring it in for repairs, so apparently they think it is a possibility that it might go away sometimes, so if they don't see the rings on yours...well jeez it must have went away like they are always hoping for.
Also when you send it in for repair, they never actually repair it and send it back , they just send you a refurb one so it is unlikely that they will check it

I think they would check first because they can use the red ring of death to try to diagnose the problem. There is a thing called the secondary code that lets the repair people pinpoint what exactly is the problem.

If they don't see the 3 rings of death, you might get a call back telling you that you'll have to pay for it to get it fixed. But you can get lucky, and the tech won't bother with it and just replace it.

Microsoft has thousands of xbox's coming in for repair. If they are in a free fixing mode (even if its not the same problem) they will fix it for free.
By the way, our sony camera had broken and we sent it for repairs, it wasn't the problem Sony said would be free, but they fixed it for free anyway.

If you haven't sent it in yet then just turn it on and wrap it in towels until you do get the RROD, so then it would be free:) if you already sent it then i cant help you.
