XBOX 360 Repair Service - Here Are Your Options!

By Pete Mason

Just what do you do when the time comes, and your Xbox 360 dies? When you see those three red lights, what are your options?

The number one thing to keep in mind is not to panic.

While the three red lights have often been a signal that your Xbox 360 has given up the ghost, that doesn't have to be the case. While older methods of fixing this general hardware failure were ineffective or costly, there are other options.

After all, sending the console back to Microsoft for repairs might cost a hundred forty dollars or more, plus it takes as long as eight weeks to get your console back to you. Most people don't want to pay that much or wait that long, even if they're staring at those red lights.

Cracking the case on your console probably isn't the answer, either. Unless you're a skilled, trained technician, the amount of delicate electronic soldering required is pretty daunting. Remember that your Xbox 360 is a delicate piece of electronic equipment, not a home project.

There are plenty of urban legends and myths about how to fix your Xbox 360, too. Some say that wrapping the console in a towel will get rid of the lights. Others will tell you to tilt it at forty-five degrees, and to store the power adapter in an upright position. However, you might not be happy with the results.

If those sound silly, it's because they are. They don't fix the problem, and if you try them, you'll still be stuck with a console that doesn't work and three red lights.

The good news is that there are actually a few fixes you can do on your own to help you deal with your non-working Xbox 360. Developed by tech professionals with knowledge of how these consoles work, they might be what you've been looking for.

These professionals have run into hundreds of Xbox 360s with the dreaded three red lights, and they've been able to use their simple solutions to get them running again. It takes less than two hours.

There are a few Xbox repair guides out there offering these important secrets. Made by technicians to help gamers put their Xboxes together again, they include video instructions and a manual help you fix your console.

The great thing is that you can use these methods, and if they don't work, you'll be able to send your Xbox back to Microsoft. Most of the time, that won't be necessary, however. You'll probably be able to fix your problem on your own, saving a lot of money and time.

Of course, it's important to look for an Xbox repair site or repair manual that'll give you a money back guarantee. This way, you won't need to pay if you can't fix your machine.
