Keep reading and I’ll show you just how easy and fast you can have your Xbox 360 running again before you can say
“What did he say?”
First things first, don’t make the pin head mistake that allot of people do, by sending your console on a 6 week vacation to Microsoft’s repair center in McAllen Texas, instead, hang around for a few moments and discover a secret that will literally save you $160.00 for something more enjoyable other than giving it away to a company that already has more money than they know what to do with (Microsoft)
So, the first thing you’re going to need to do, in order to fix your Xbox 360, is to first understand why the 3 red lights occur in the first place.
Going by what Microsoft has announced earlier this year in a press release, they stated that the console malfunctions because it eventually overheats causing a soldering to melt over the GPU processor eventually putting it to a halt, so it basically narrows it all down to the main cause being
Drum roll please
Overheating!
The reason being is because there’s too much heat building up inside of the console it’s self due to a lack of air flow devices such as fans and heat sinks. To prevent damage from occurring to the delicate components, your Xbox 360 then shuts itself off and displays those 3 irritating red lights to tell you that your console is having hardware failure.
Moving on to the good news..Now that you know what causes the 3 red lights to happen, you can set your sights on fixing it, because you’ve probably got a better idea of what you’re going to need to do to get the job done, so before you go ripping your Xbox 360 apart, why not learn how to do it properly (in steps) so you don’t end up with extra parts and missing screws.
