This is it my friend. You have 3 choices right off the bat:

1- If your Xbox is still under warranty, you can just call Microsoft and they will tell you to send your xbox console.

Advantages:
-You don't spend any money because everything is done for free due to your warranty service.

Disadvantages:
-You have to wait 2 months (or more) for Microsoft to fix your xbox console. It could take more because you are not the only one that has the problem, example: myself.

2- Get an Xbox 360 Repair Guide and fix your Xbox by yourself.

Advantages:
-Fix your Xbox console today!No freaking waiting for your Xbox to be fixed.

-Fix your Xbox within 1 or 2 hours from now! No kidding, I fixed mine myself using an Xbox 360 repair guide and I got it fixed in about 1 1/2 hours.

Disadvantages:
- You will have to spend a few bucks on the guide. It won't be much though...

3- Get a brand new Xbox 360 console.

Advantages:
- You will have a brand new console hopefully without the same problem.

Disadvantages:
- You will spend hundreds of dollars.

- You have the same risk of ending up with another dead Xbox. Leading you once again to this article to decide between these 3 choices.

So you are still reading... The smartest choice right now is #2 in case you are still thinking about it. You have to be nuts if you are willing to wait 2 months or more for your xbox to be fixed.

I was playing Grand Theft Auto 4 when my Xbox was gone. I was so desperate with the situation that I quickly grabbed the phone and called Microsoft right away. But, when they told me I had to wait 2 months for my Xbox to be fixed I was like "NO WAY"!

That's when I started looking for alternatives because I couldn't wait 2 months to get back on my game, NOPE.

Thanks to the internet (I love it) and that guide, I got it fixed that same day.

Just make the right choice for you... I'm out.
