The Xbox 360 is a good looking machine, there's no doubt of that, but those good looks have caused it some major problems . The problem is that in order to make their console look good, Microsoft packed a lot of powerful electronics into a very small space and that has lead all sorts of Xbox 360 hardware failure in their machine.
Its easy to tell if your Xbox 360 has overheated. The first indication that most games will notice is the 3 red lights error - whereby the green lights on the front of the console starts to flash red. If you see the 3 red lights though, I'm afraid then your Xbox 360 has already been broken.
No one really knows how many of us have suffered with this Xbox 360 hardware failure , but its likely that the numbers run into millions. Although the newer model Xbox 360's are not so prone to this failure, a high percentage of the previous models have already, or will eventually fail.
Is there anything you can do about this
Xbox 360 hardware failure then?
First of all get in touch with the manufacturer. If its under warranty just send it back.The problem here is that most of the Xbox's that suffer from the 3 red lights error are now out of warranty, so they will charge you $140 and take a couple of weeks to fix the problem.
No, friends, the best thing to do is simply to grab some tools - nothing expensive is required - and get a copy of a good repair guide from the internet and for around $40 you will have your Xbox 360 back in good health. Dont worry if you have never opened your Xbox 360 - its all explained in full detail in these guides.
As long as you take your time and follow the guides carefully its really simple to fix the xBox 360 red light error inside an hour - and for a lot less cash than getting someone else to do it.
