This article will tell you more about the Xbox 360 3 Red Lights and what causes this error as well as how you can get rid of this problem fast. I have been in the same place as you are now if you are reading this article, you go to play one of your games in your Xbox 360 and you turn it on to be greeted with 3 red lights.

You turn the console off thinking it is just a glitch and switch it back on only to realize that it has a real problem and the 3 red lights are still there flashing!

Well here is the bad news first!

The Xbox 360 3 Red Lights means "General Hardware Failure" and it means that one of the components within the Xbox 360 has failed. There is not much you can do at this point and no easy way to fix it. The reason that this error happens is simple because of the Xbox 360 and its design.

As the motherboard gets hot due to all the game play it bends ever so slightly, although if it keeps on doing this the soldering becomes looser and looser until it breaks completely and then you are greeted by the Xbox 360 3 Red Lights!

That is the bad news over with, now for the good news!

You can get rid of the Xbox 360 3 Red Lights Yourself!

There are a few guides that will tell you how to fix your Xbox yourself and without giving too much of the game away, they tell you how to stop so much heat reaching the chips so your console can run at lower temperatures.


Also a thing to bear in mind is that the quality of these guides do differ somewhat and you should make sure you get a good one. The main thing to look for is a preview of the guide in some form and the best thing I have found is a preview of the videos on offer so you can see a snippet of what you are getting first.

If the Xbox 360 3 Red Lights Fix does not offer some sort of preview then stay well clear as you will normally find that the info is just collected from forums and will not really help you much.

I have done some searching and the link below will take you through to what I consider to be the best Xbox 360 3 Red Lights Fix guide on the web for the reasons mentioned above!

I hope this article has helped explain why the Xbox 360 3 Red Lights appear and how you can get rid of them fast and back to your gaming.

Good Luck!
