Xbox 360 Repair Guide
Many of us Xbox 360 Gamers were truly excited about the release of Halo 3. Imagine our disappointment when our consoles stopped working. Thinking it is a small problem, we turn off the Xbox, let it cool, and turn it back on to discover…The Red Ring of Death. Panic sets in. 3 RED LIGHTS
Not to worry though, Microsoft is offering great customer service and repairs! Professionally done and shipped in weeks IF you have just recently bought your console in the last 90 days AND it has never been opened. For many of us, this is not the case.

Unfortunately, it also costs $100-$140 easily. $100? I’d rather spend it on a game, but I cannot play the game unless the console is working!
Finally, I asked myself the question. How hard can it be to fix the Red Ring of Death myself? If I can learn to fix the problem then I will not have to pay someone else to do it AND I can show my friends as well. First I have to figure out the problem.
RROD The Red Ring Of Death happens when your Xbox 360 overheats. The system was not designed to handle some of the heat being generated by the more graphically intense games out there.

The answer is surprisingly simple and, if you do a little research, you can have it done in 30 minutes or less. You’ll be up and gaming in no time!
