I am just a mom - no gaming experience, no familiarity with your lingo. My son's xbox 360 is out of warranty and has one light in the circle. I can pretty much fix anything with instructions, so I would appreciate any information as to how I can open this thing up and fix it.

If you don't have any lucky, and are anywhere in southern california I'll fix it for free. I know times are tough and these are usually very simple to fix with the right tools.
Sorry to keep picking holes in your comments today, but no they wont. If its outside the 3 year warranty, they wont fix it for free.
