An easy repair guide for your Xbox 360

By: Tiffany Fitzroy

The Xbox 360 is perhaps one of the best-selling consoles today because of its variety of games (there are sports, role playing, racing and fighting games, you name it), dramatically improved graphics, internet connectivity and a high definition DVD drive. It was a far superior version of the original Xbox version released by Microsoft in the early 2000’s. Although the console was far more advanced than its competitors – it has one major flaw: the red rings of death.

It’s too bad that this glitch dampened the people’s hype of owning an Xbox 360. But if you already have an Xbox 360 console, you need to make sure that your console won’t overheat, lest you want to approach Microsoft for an Xbox 360 repair. The sad thing about this repair is it takes about 6 weeks, and you have to pay at least $140 if your warranty has long been overdue. There’s the additional shipping charges as well.

The console’s faulty cooling system is the one to blame for the Xbox 360’s faulty tendency. If your games suddenly freeze in the middle of a level, or if some graphics error surface, you better get your console off the display cabinet and air it out at regular intervals. But if you see those red rings of death, it’s time to move about. Here are the indications of the console’s error, depending on how many red rings of death are lit:

One Red Light: your problem deals with faulty general hardware aspects

Two Red Lights: The console has overheated. Take your console off the display cabinet and air it for a while. If you don’t, your motherboard will bend slightly and the solder will come off. This will lead to an even bigger problem, the

Three Red Lights: your console is down. Better bring it back to Microsoft for an Xbox 360 repair, or you can fix it yourself (tips about this below.)

Four Red Lights: you are just a little careless. You need to secure the AV Cable directed to the console or the TV.

Should you decide to do the Xbox 360 repair yourself, be sure that you have a reliable repair guide at hand. A good repair guide is one which has an inclusive e-book and video guides, a full money-back guarantee, and online / phone customer support. Before picking an Xbox 360 Repair Guide from an array of programs available in the internet, be sure you discern the features properly. Don’t be carried away by some programs’ low prices, because these are the ones who have e-books made of repair tips lifted from gaming blogs and forums.
