Xbox 360 Troubleshooting

Don't tell me.... your Xbox 360 is out of warranty and you have started having problems?  How many times does this happen with our stuff at home?  First of all DON'T PANIC!   The chances are that you can fix your xbox 360 yourself at home.  So before you go frantically searching the internet for expensive repair agents and tearing your hair out at the idea of sending your xbox 360 away in the post, read on...

Xbox 360 Ring of Death

POSSIBLE CAUSES TO YOUR 3 RED LIGHTS

Most people experience the 3 red lights and an error code of overheating. This overheating of the 360 can be caused by quite a few things;
- bad power brick (giving too much power to your system)
- bad placement of system (with no ventilation causing the air inside to not
flow well)
- bad motherboard component
- manufacturing/application (cold solder joints, loose bga, etc)
- bad quality thermal paste used on the heatsinks

But do not despair. I had the same problem. My daughters love their xbox 360 but one day they came to me full of anger after reading their manual and muttering something about The Ring Of Death. I thought it was some kind of game they had been playing, lol, but it seems this is a common error? Anyway, they wrote the console off without ever thinking we could maybe fix it! I had other ideas.
I searched around for prices to get it fixed but found that the cost of repair, plus the postage and shipping charges was, I thought way over the top, a bit of a rip off to be honest. Then I came across a solution which proved to be much more cost effective to me, and enabled us to fix the Xbox 360 at home. Delighted with the results I wanted to share this with you so that you can spare yourself
the hassle of sending your Xbox away for repairs.

Have a look at this and fix it yourself like we did, I promise it is pretty straightforward with easy to follow instructions, so if like me, you are not a technical wizard, don't be put off!

All I can say is Thank You! I was sure I would have to send the 360 in for repair and pay as my warranty had expired but thanks to your guide it is working like a brand new machine!"

Just thought I would send you a quick email to say Thanks, it only took me an hour to follow the steps in the guide and must admit I didn't expect it to work, but then I turned on my 360 and there were the green lights again! Thanks forall your help!

I really hope this helps you to repair your Xbox 360 at home. I have since loaned the same guide to a friend of mine who has also fixed his Xbox, so I know that it works and wasn't just a coincidence for me.
