Owners of the older model Xbox 360 will almost certainly have heard of the 3 red lights error. This error is normally caused by overheating, and the results are an Xbox 360 that sits there winking that old red eye at you.
You may not be aware however that there is also an Xbox 360 3 red lights fix that can be completed in under an hour with no specialist tools at all.
Machines that are still under warranty though should be sent off to Microsoft for repair. If you don't fancy waiting a couple of weeks for Bill's guys to do this though, I would strongly encourage you to give it a go yourself.
The first thing you need to get are a few basic tools. The next , and most important thing to do is to get yourself a good Xbox 360 3 red lights fix guide. These guides offer step-by-step instructions on how to easily fix the dreaded 3 red lights error and often cover many other issues you might encounter such as graphics errors, constant freezing and so on. I personally, have now repaired over 40 Xbox 360's using the instructions from one of these guides so I can definitely vouch that the techniques work. I can perform a repair now in under ½ n hour but even the first time I tried it, the repair only took me an hour to do. That's certainly faster than the normal turnaround from Microsoft and cheaper by about $100 to boot.
So don't panic, just grab some tools, a good guide and you will be back in the gaming hot seat within the hour.
When I started fixing xbox 360's there were only a couple of guides available so it was easy to choose the right one. Now, though you are swamped with choice,and not every guide is worth the price. But worry not, for I have reviewed the best and listed the full details on my review website here. Check it out.
