Xbox 360 Red Lights - 3 Things You Can Do To Save Your 360 Today!

This article will tell you what the red lights mean on your Xbox 360 and also give you some methods that you can use today to fix the problem. This is quite common occurrence with a lot of Xbox 360 ownera and since it was released there's been quite a few problems with this system.

Pretty much all the errors that you can get with the Xbox 360 a down to the motherboard overheating an inadequate cooling. The good news is that nearly all the problems are repairable and all you need to know is how to stop the build up of heat in the system and the soldering becoming loose and you'll be back to your games.

The best way to do this is to ring up Microsoft customer support and get them to repair it for you. However there is two problems with this solution. Firstly if you have any other error other than the 3 red lights you'll have to pay to get it fixed and it costs about $140.

The other problem is the wait, and most people have to wait up to 3 to 4 weeks to get a working console back to them.

Also one more good thing is that Microsoft are updating the motherboard and later on in the year there is a new mother board coming out that will be far more effective and hopefully the above problems will not occur.

Another thing you can try before you have to send it in is to unplug everything and remove the hard drive, then try plugging everything back in and reconnecting the hard drive and you may find that it just needed to clear the cache.

Also if you leave it for 5 to 10 mins it may just need to cool down a bit.

Lastly if you can turn the Xbox on and get to the dashboard you might want to reset the Xbox back to factory settings. The reason for this is as you download things from the live service you can get bad data and this will clear all of that.

I hope this article has given you some methods that help get your Xbox back to life and read of the three red lights or any other problem.

Happy gaming!
