Guidelines And Advice To Fix 3 Red-light On Xbox360, Other Issues!!!

Here is a few things to check for first before getting the unit repaired. The first thing to do is try the following two steps to verify that you are indeed experiencing this issue:

1. When you turn on the console, examine the light on the power supply. The power supply light should illuminate green even if the three lights on the Ring of Light flash red. If the power supply light is not green, please follow these steps:

2. Turn off the console. Wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the console again to see whether the symptom occurs again. If your console continues to display the three flashing red lights, your console may have to be repaired.

What causes the so called; "Three Red light Ring of Death"?
The most common of the xbox360 is the three red lights problem caused by overheating. The console is designed to utilize heat sinks, vented openings, and fans to aid in dissipation of this heat. If the airflow to the vents becomes obstructed then this causes reduced system performance and hardware failure indicated by the xbox360 three red lights. Try placing the Xbox 360 console in a free open space away from any debris that might be clogging the vents. The Intercooler has also been reported be causing general hardware failures in quite a few consoles, as well as burning of the power AC input. Microsoft stated that intercooler drains too much power from the console and can cause the faults to occur. Don't try the wrap the wet towel around the unit to cool it down. It is only a myth and will not work. Water will get into the motherboard and cause more damage.

Another xbox360 three red lights problem that is also heat related is the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). When the GPU becomes very hot it causes the motherboard to flex causing the soldering to become loose, because the lead free solder that is used is more brittle than the older tin/lead solder that was used in the past.

Microsoft repaired consoles under the 90 day warranty for free, and charged $140 to repair out of warranty consoles. If you have experienced the Xbox 360 three red lights, you could have it shipped to the repair center. Let me forewarn you that due to the increasing number of malfunctioning consoles, you may have to wait 8 weeks or more. If none of the steps above fix the issue or you don't want to wait up to 8 weeks or end up with a refurbished XBOX 360, then we have a solution for you.
