They had to replace the drive at the same time as the board as they are matched, hence why they sent one with a new drive.
When I had a problem with my 360 I sorted it all online, maybe worth a try if you arn't getting anywhere on the phone.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

Had mine replaced once and repaired twice in 3 years.
Seems pretty awful that it's needed so much attention - once a year on averafe.
I would honestly recommend a PS3 before an XBOX 360 based on reliability.
Microsoft themselves have more or less admitted that there are serious 'keeping cool' issues with the xbox - in other words, they're admitting that it is a flawed design.
However, in their defence, the repair process took one week, door to door.0 -
The newer models aren't suffering to bad, there not immune but not having to many problems.
As for the PS3:
£300 or £130 and it might not work for 2 weeks.
With that gaming is now ruled by buying a reasonable spec PC.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017
