If you take it apart you will void your warranty and no repair will be done from microsoft.
About the dashboard error, I have heard of some people getting dashboard error not because of HW failure but due to some clock setting file being corrupt. If you open up the xbox all warranties will be lost. But seriously, wouldn't this be the perfect time to chip the xbox, install a 200gb HDD and have some fun? :P

I think the xbox would have probably gone into the dreaded clock loop if that were the case. The fact that he was getting error 21 before and just changed to 16 is odd though.
You said you bought it second hand, did you mean used from a gamestore or from a non-retailer? If the warrenty is there then yah, go with that. If you get a chip, just remember that you cannot switch HDD's unless you first unlock the current one, otherwise the mobo will reject the hookup.

Chip away....
 Atleast that is what I would do, cheaper than MS repair and gives a lot more fun with the xbox... Do some reading and if you got the skills to do it yourself do that, otherwise find someone that can. Go for DuoX2 or something like that, cheap and reliable.

I second that. Get a cheap chip and if it fails to work, then it is not much money wasted. If you choose to re-purchase, then the chip can be salvaged
