If you are reading this article then no doubt you have been struck by the notorious 3 red lights problem on the Xbox 360. Well, fear not as this article will explain 3 steps you can take to perform Xbox 360 Repair and get the console running like new in no time!

The reason that the 3 red lights flash on the Xbox 360 is because the console is telling you it has a "hardware failure". This is purely down to overheating and the obvious thing you can do is stand the Xbox 360 up on it´s side so it can get more air and also move it away from any heat sources like radiators or display cabinets etc...

Now here are the 3 steps that you can take to repair your Xbox 360 and bear in mind that not all are equal:

The first thing you can do to get Xbox 360 Repair is to send the console back to Microsoft and this is the most recommended if you are still within your warranty as it´s free for the 3 red lights error. Bear in mind if you have the 1 red light error that is signified by 1 red light flashing on the lower-right quadrant this does not count and you will have to pay! Even though it is exactly the same fault as well.

The other thing you should bear in mind if you send it back to Microsoft for repairs is that you will have to wait for up to 4 weeks for the repair to be completed and this can be a little annoying especially if you use your console a lot!

The second way you can get Xbox 360 Repair is the same as the first except you can use a third party to repair it for you. While not free the process is the same and a lot of these companies say they can provide super fast delivery which is always good.

Although the bad points about this method are the same as the first and although you will not have to wait for 4 weeks for the repair, because a third party is performing the Xbox 360 Repair you will have no way of knowing how long the fix will last or even if it has been fixed properly.


So what other options do you have for Xbox 360 Repair?

Well you can do it yourself! Sounds a bit technical? Well don´t worry there are a whole host of repair guides on the web at the moment although not all are equal with these and you should check the repair guide for the following features if you do decide to take this route:

Customer Service: Any good Xbox 360 Repair guide should have awesome customer service and be on hand if you need them to help you with the repair or even if you just have a question. It is a good idea to test the customer service first by sending an email to them and seeing how long it takes them to respond.

Xbox 360 Repair Videos: Any good guide should also have videos showing you how to complete the fix. There are a few guides out there that claim to have Xbox 360 Repair videos but not many offer a preview of the videos so you will never know what you are getting!

Make sure that you get a free preview of the Xbox 360 Repair videos.

If you follow the above guidelines when you are looking for a good Xbox 360 Repair guide you should not run into any problems.
