No, gotta get a new one!!!!!!!!
Microsoft is being extra careful to make sure it handles this situation properly. They will now be more than willing to help with your repair or replacement if the system goes dead. This has already been a PR nightmare for them, but they are now in "damage control" mode.Xbox 360 red lights?

Also the Xbox Elite will have the same components that are still Made In China. I bought a Xbox 360 Premium in Oct 2006 and now it gave me a 3 red ring light. Im planning to return it and get my money back. Im not confident and playing xbox console anymore.
UK-based games consoles repair company Micromart has been fixing video game systems for over a decade. On its website it advertises that it will repair PlayStation 2, original Xbox, PSP and replace screens for other handheld systems.
Micromart, which used to repair the Xbox 360, has posted a notice on its website that it “has now withdrawn from offering a repair service for the dreaded 3 Red Lights fault.”
The company states that, “This problem is endemic on the Xbox 360 console and the volume has made this repair non-viable.” Micromart will also no longer fix Xbox 360 consoles that display screen freezing problems. The company, however, will continue to support all other repairs to the consoles.
“We were seeing about 30 a week before we pulled the plug on the service,” said Micromart’s Jeff Croft to GamesIndustry. “We saw it over a period of several months and it was just getting worse. It began towards the end of last year. Once the twelve month warranty finished then we started to see more and more machines being sent in to be looked at.”
“The work we had done to the console lead us to believe that basically it was a fault with the motherboard and not something that could be resolved easily. And it wasn't going to go away,” continued Croft.
“We're not taking that thing on board; we won't repair them. We originally did some work with it but it's labour intensive and it isn't really a feasible repair for us to undertake. We would probably end up charging GBP 100 [$202] for a repair and we still wouldn't be happy with the end result,” he added.
Do not buy the Elite. Buy the PS3 instead.Xbox 360 red lights?
OMFG i just got that red lightm yes at the moment ps3 does look better, i called microsoft, and they said they would send a box within 1-3 business days, its been like a week no sign of a box, i mean wtf i bought xbox live and its about to expire i want to play with my 360 but now i can't i'm pissed, but there is the warranty and if they can't fix it my 360 i will get a new one, and they better give me a extra stuff because i've been waiting and i want to play, if they give me a extra memory woot that'd be great, well i prefer the ps3 unless microsoft finds the problem and fixes it. but you should probably wait, they are spending 1 billion to fix it so they must care, but we'll c what they do, so far if you don't wana spend a butt load of money on ps3 or 360 get a wii, good for excerise and fun from what i hear. but 360 has cooler games, and more coming out end war and halo 3 are the most anticipated games for me
Well if you buy the warranty and that happens you'll be find. Also you can contact microsoft about any issue you have with it. Also my fiance bought the warranty and if you have a problem with it just take it to gamestop and they will give you a new one. Please make sure though that if you do have a problem with your 360 that you tell them NOT to give you a refurbished one! So don't worry! buy your x box 360 and have fun.
Good luck
