Policies protect their right to deny your console if you have removed the warranty stickers. Obviously Microsoft won't repair a modified unit, and seeing that there is no reason to remove the sticker other than for modification purposes, it's almost definite that you can't get a free repair. Have you tried paying $99 USD for servicing?
