My Xbox 360 just found its cancer - the Three Rings of Death. Any help?

[crazy4christ07]

I've called them, I've taken out the hard drive, unplugged it, put it back in, I've ventilated it, I've attempted the towel trick, and I've hit it - hard. Me and my friends solved it for a while, and it played well, and then the rings showed up again. Then, after working on it, unplugging it, fanning the holes, letting it sit, we got it working once more - but it froze. When we turned it off, we waited, and then switched it back on - the Three Rings came back.
When we take out the hard drive and turn it on is when we're having most luck, but it's not the hard drive because the three rings still come on even if it is out.
Is there one last trick I haven't tried, just before I turn it in?
Please, help, and 10 points to whoever gets it working - well.

Well you can call xbox at 1-800-4myxbox or you can do what I did because replacing it at microsoft could take weeks. I bought mine at best buy with the 2 year replacement plan. What I did is brought mine into the store, and I told them it wasn't working. They looked up my receipt for me, and they immediately got a brand new xbox from the back. I took it home that day and the whole process took about 15 mins. No questions asked. Thats why I buy my consoles from best buy.

because 33% of all 360's fail, and 0.02% of all PS3's fail

nope, u have to send it in, it usually takes about 2 weeks and you'll get 1 month of free XBL gold out of it.
