Does Your XBox 360 Have The Dreaded 3 Rings Of Death?
Last summer I was all set to load up Call of Duty and get started blasting grunts with my team. I turned on my XBox 360 and was just getting started when my XBox died. Then I saw them...those dreaded 3 rings of death. I did a quick Google search and found out I was in big trouble. According to what I found those 3 rings of death meant a general hardware failure and about all that could be done was to send it back to Microsoft.
I was getting ready to send it back to Microsoft when I found out that it can take up to 8 weeks to get it back. I sure didn't want to be without my XBox 360 for that long. I started looking into other ways of fixing my XBox and getting rid of those 3 rings of death on my own.
If you are in the same position, you have come to the right place. I am going to use this lens to share with you some of the things I found to fix those 3 rings of death. I found all kinds of advice on what needed to be done, some of it was good, some of it was not so good.
To see some of the best advice I found you should visit 3RedLightsFix.Info

There is a lot of information out there about how to get rid of the 3 rings of death on your XBox 360. I looked at all kinds of different methods that I found online. There were some that seemed pretty good, but most of them were just plain dumb. The main thing that I found out was how much I didn't know.
I couldn't believe some of the methods I saw online. Have you tried the "towel method" yet? If you haven't, don't and if you have, then you probably already know that wrapping your XBox 360 in a towel is probably going to burn your console to a crisp.
Then there is the method that has you take your console apart and take a soldering iron to it. Hey, I don't know about you, but I am not as good as a robot at soldering. I didn't want to take the chance of really screwing something up. I could just see me turning my XBox 360 back on and not only not having the 3 rings of death, but not having any lights at all.
The methods I got from 3RedLightsFix.Info were easy to follow and were put together by real technicians that actually work on consoles every day. I had it easy using the step by step videos and I was back up and blasting away in about an hour and a half. The great thing is, I haven't been visited again by the dreaded 3 rings of death.

You Don't Have To Send Your Console Away To Have It Fixed...

I was so bummed when my XBox 360 died on me. I thought I was going to have to send my console back to Microsoft and wait for 6 to 8 weeks before I could be back into my Call of Duty.
Not only that, my warranty has expired and it was going to cost me about $140.00 plus shipping to get it fixed. Not to mention when I called Microsoft, I was on hold for like 20 minutes and then had to talk to someone that didn't act like they knew what I was talking about.
When I have questions about my XBox, I want to talk to a real person that knows what is going on. I am sure that you are the same. I called the customer service line for the folks at 3RedLightsFix.Info
and got to talk to a real person that was also a technician. So, do what I did and you can be back to Halo 3 in no time.

- The video was great! Great to know that you can repair your own Xbox--lord only knows what Microsoft would charge if your warranty was gone.
