    Your problem is exactly why I didn't want my friend to hack mine. He's quite knowledgeable about that sort of thing and has hacked many successfully, but I have a bad track record with voiding warranties. :)

    You can reflash the factory firmware can you not?

    You can also google the issue and find several DIY guides for fixing the problemo :)

    I have even heard people sending back hacked firware 360's and Microsoft still fixing them. I would recommend just flashing your stock firmware back on before you send it back.

    Mine had the sticker removed and Microsoft still honored the warranty. I think they have so many problems they just fix them, no questions asked, now.

    What I did was tell them my teenage son opened the case trying to repair it but didn't touch anything once he got inside.

    I don't know if it made a difference though.
