My sons Xbox 360 seems to have given up the ghost.
Who repairs these things???
Symptoms are as follows: After about 10-15 mins 2 red lights come on around the on/off button then the fan seems to speed up, stop and then shut down. Spoke to a mate who said its over heating??? Well it maybe showing the symtoms but cant really be as its off the floor and in a well vetilated area with nothing either side of it, besides it went ok during what we had of a summer when the odd occasion it was pretty hot in the room then.(unless the fan is knacked)
We are a bit gutted as its only 18 months old cost a small fortune and has not really had that much use.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try showing the vacuum around the back of the xbox, it may have got clogged up with dust / pet hairs etc
