Go to the xbox.com page and go to warranties and if your xbox problems meet the requirements of a free repair ( which yours does) you'll get a box in the mail in 3 days then you put your xbox in it and mail it off and you'll get another xbox in 2 weeks. My cousin whom is my roommate did this and this is exactly what happened so dont listen the shit about it takes a month and all that bs.
you do of course realize the time it'd take would depend on how many they have to deal with at the momment of recieving it, and where you live... (some states may take longer to recieve it back due to shipping....)

anyways, i've heard of everything from a couple of weeks up to 2 months (although the latter wasn't very credible... if after a month you haven't got it, i'd call them and ask what's going on)
