I don't have a shiny silver sticker on my replaced console. It's a big square paper one, that I'm willing to bet is heat activated. It looks similar to the ones they put on cellphones that are tripped by moisture so people can't get a replacement cell if they drop it in water. Anyone else see these?

Just take the clasps off and quickly rip the case apart, should be intact, but dunno about the moisture thingy

a pic of it would help Smile
I'm pretty sure when mine came back there was a other sticker on it too but I don't have it anymore so I can't look it up.
Anyway I would say it's pretty unlikely that the same xbox gets RROD twice while still in warranty.

Not really new , been about for nearly 2 years

no need for heat either , just a sharp craft knife / stanley blade and loosen one side

They dont care if its flashed or not. They usually just look for the sticker. If the console has RROD, you can't test it to see if it reads burned discs. And I doubt they would go through some complicated process to read the FW version of the drive.

Be careful with the hairdryer, it can melt your wifi button. It happened to me once last year Laughing

And I agree the green sticker is A LOT easier to remove than the silver one. Once I actually didn't care about voiding the warranty and i just pealed it off with my fingers and it came off perfectly with no residue or anything left behind.

Those stickers have been around for years, they come off easy. Sometimes they are not even stuck down well and just peal off. I give them a little heat with a hair drier then get it started with a razor blade. Store it on some wax paper
