Fixing The 3 Red Light Error.. 1 Hour Quick Fix.

Learning how to Repair Your Xbox will save you some major money. Microsoft will not tell you how to fix these errors. They'll ask you to send your system back to them for repair. The typical cost for a repair can be as much as $140 plus shipping and handling. Also - they do not always guarantee a fix!

I know what it feels like when your xbox 360 dies, as I had the same thing happen to me!

It starts with the random freezes and then they get more frequent until one day you turn on the console and lo and behold the 3 red lights!

Well, the good news is you can fix it!

One of the main glitches with the xbox 360 is "The Red Ring Of Death" which usually means the end of your console. Some people simply give up and buy a new one but.. help is at hand which is not only going to save you money by not having to buy a new xbox but you will also save money on the repair itself by using the D.I.Y Guide to Reparing Your Xbox

Xbox 360 3 Red Light Symptoms!

You see three lights on the Ring of Light (RoL) flash red on the front of your Xbox 360 console. The upper-right quadrant light is the only light that does not flash red.
Commonly Known amongst gamers as "The Ring Of Death"

Possible Cause of Xbox 360 Red Light Error...

The three flashing red lights may indicate that your Xbox 360 console has experienced a hardware failure.

Or:

Overheating!

Sound obvious?

Well, if you think about it your 360 has the same (if not a bit better!) components inside as a high
end gaming PC.

The only difference is it is crammed into a space that is much smaller!

So the first thing that causes the 3 red lights problem is overheating and there are a number of
ways you can prevent this.

Firstly, if you keep your Xbox inside a display cabinet with closed doors this is a big NO, NO!

The 360 will almost definately get far too hot if it cannot pump out all the hotair so make sure you
keep the display cabinet doors open if this is the case, or better still take the Xbox out the
display case altogether!

The overheating issue is the most common issue, although there are more technical reasons why the 3
red lights occur.

Our guide will show you how to fix the 3 red lights error and make sure that your 360 does not
overheat and best of all the repair can be done with normal household items!

Possible Other Causes of Xbox 360 Red Light Error..

Another reason why an Xbox gets the 3 red lights is down to the General Processor Unit or GPU.

It is also similar to the overheating problem as the 3 red lights is due to the GPU taking too much heat!

You see in modern computers you have a fan and that pumps out all the heat from the CPU because if it gets to hot it is programmed to shut off.

Well, your 360 is exactly the same and if the GPU or the chips become to hot they will shut off resulting in a screen freeze.

If you then switch off the Xbox and turn it back on all will be well, right until the chip gets hot again and then you will get another screen freeze!

The reason the 3 red lights appears is when this happens too many times and the 360 assumes there is a fault or a hardware error with the console!

Did You Know That The Power Brick Can Cause You Problems?

Another reason your console can get the dreaded 3 red lights is to do with the powerbrick.

You see, when the problem occurs a commonly overlooked component is the power brick.

A good way you can stop the power brick from overheating (yes, it's the overheating problem again!) is to keep it up from the floor.

You are best of using an open box and resting the power brick on top as this allows the brick to breath on all sides!

This can help prevent the freezes and stop the 3 red lights from ever happening!
