my friend opened up the box and replaced the motor to the cd drive and cleaned the laser and everything and it worked fine.

Yep, as far as MS goes Ive never had a problem gettin my console fixed through them in a timely and free manor. Id usually get it back within 2 weeks total and thats including them shippin me the box to put it in and me sending it back to them. As soon as u open up ur console though ur warranty is voided so ur better off figuring it out urself. I fixed my original xbox once when my disc drive went out for like a total of 20 bucks after buyin a new one off ebay. Ive never personally had a RRoD(knock on wood), only hardware failures.

Yeah I guess I am going to wait til tomorrow and try the washer idea. I have another 360 (thank god!!!) but its not mine :/ just didn't know if anyone else here had any ideas of how to fix it haha
it's had rrod before and I sent it to Microsoft and they fixed it (after taking about 2 months!!) so i really want to resort to trying it for myself first since I've fixed other consoles/pcs and all in the past. Thanks though I did find some pretty good Youtube tutorials

Blowing into a nintendo cartridge DOES NOT qualify as fixing the console .
