Does anyone know where I can take my X-Box to be repaired. The warranty has expired and I bought it from PC World, I don't really want them to touch it as they are so crap.

To make this topic car related..... I want to play Need for speed on it.

What is it doing / not doing?
I have fixed 3 PS2's and all just needed was the laser lens cleaning!

It won't switch on, no lights, nothing. All I get is a very quiet click when plugged in.

What is happening is the power supply is tying to turn on but some this is stopping it (a short). This is why it is clicking but not powering on.
For this to happen there is normally a fault with the power supply but this can not be garenteed.
If you can get to Xboxes together and swap PSU you should be able to solve what you need but where you get spares I don’t know!
