Xbox 360 Repair – Fixing the Red Lights in Your Beloved Console

You were playing your favorite game using Xbox 360, and suddenly three red lights appear in front of your console. If you are familiar with this scenario, then you are definitely seeing the well-known “Red Rings of Death”

As a player, you should learn how to fix this error, in order to continue using your Xbox 360. It seems to me that Microsoft won’t be dealing with this problem, because a lot of people are sending their units back to the Microsoft repair team once this error appears – money. You don’t have to spend money just to fix this error. In fact, you can even do it on your own if you want.

Before I show you how you can repair the Red Ring of Death, let me first show you the reason why this condition is triggered. These red rings appear when you have been using your console for months without turning it off. So, to make things short, Red Rings are caused by overheating consoles.

When this condition appears, all you have to do is to get a screw and a knife to open your Xbox unit. Let the unit cool down for a few hours, and start playing again. You don’t have to be technically savvy just to open a console and let it cool down. It can be done by anyone. Just don’t dare touch the parts found inside your console if you don’t want to have more severe problems.

Now that you know how you can fix the Red Ring of Death, will you still be paying Microsoft to do it for you? Sending the unit to the Xbox repair team causes money, and having them check your unit will also cost you money. All in all, $100 should be enough if you are planning to send your unit back to Xbox. Will you be spending this amount if you can do it by yourself?
