Well call them back and tell them you now have the RROD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67sbmlJ2_ek can't hurt at this point. Might as well have fun with it.
That stuff doesn't work. I might get a few weeks or a few months out of it.
What I might do is buy a new one and sacrifice this old one for some nice x-rays.
Yep. Probably a bad choice.
Was it a Jasper?
Edit: never mind, see your info. Anyways, I was wondering because I'm coming to the conclusion Jaspers are very reliable (RROD basically a solved issue with them).
I recently bought a new Elite, and one thing that bugs me is it seems to have an undue amount of vibration caused by the DVD drive. Just to the touch, it seems to me I feel much more and stronger vibration through the case than is "right". And I cant imagine that vibration is good for the components. It's also a bit frustrating in that it works fine and probably will for a while, so it's not a cut and dried problem.
I remember having an Xbox 1 with a similar issue, and it worked fine forever, so I dunno.

Can't you wrap it in a towel and leave it running until you get 3 red rings? It's just as ethical as selling a defective product in the first place so I think it'd be justified.
Good to see you get a new Jasper. Mine is so much quieter than my XBrick Zephyr. Is yours quieter too?
Wow, odd error, E73: I/O Hardware Error - Couldn't calibrate HSIO Bus from edram: this error is likely caused by a problem with the Ethernet port or supporting control devices.

It has quite a bit more venting and it has a quieter fan, as far as I could tell. The dvd drive also doesn't sound like an airplane taking off when it spins up.
Yeah. I unplugged all of the accessories, including the hard drive and the error still came up. The only thing plugged in was the power cord. Bad luck on my part. If it was E74 or red ring, I would have been covered by the extended warranty.
