i've never had the rings, but from what i've heard, they don't just go away.

Yeah that's what i kinda figured' this must be something
else. Like right now it's working great.

time to call Microsoft and set up a warranty exchange.

btw, you're not using one of those intercooler things are you? if you are, take it off and place both the 360 and it's power brick out in the open where air can circulate around them.

I have the intercooler and a cheap fan i cut on when i play running on it at all times on the 360..had mine a couple yrs..but still gave up the ghost

what i meant was, they will probably come back. most of the stuff like the towel trick, etc are just quick fixes.

Is that all i do is call? 360 is about 15 months old.
and no to the cooler fan i have had nothing like that
hooked up to it and i have always it laying down.

Microsoft is pretty good with their warranty exchanges. The one caveat to that is that if you have a newer system, say one with an HDMI port and the newer (but not newest) Falcon processor, there's no guarantee that you'll get one back. You'll receive a reconditioned unit of whatever they have on the shelf.

I've exchanged one original 360 and the process is pretty painless. The unit I received has performed flawlessly for nearly a year.

btw, exchanging a 15 month old 360 is much easier than exchanging an 11 month old PS3. If you don't have a receipt, Sony will tell you to piss off or send $150 along with your defective console.
