Are you are having problems with your Xbox 360 like three flashing red lights near the power button, or the red error ring, or other problems with overheating, graphic errors, and freeze ups? Well, you are not alone. Albeit the Xbox 360 is far superior to other game consoles, it is not perfect and your only choices for repair are to ship it back to Microsoft or do the repairs yourself.

The overheating problem is one of the most common issues and it can be fixed most of the time by putting the console in a more ventilated place. However, hardware failure (i.e., the three flashing lights) is the worst. You can unplug and restart the console and sometimes this fixes the issue but often you will see the same error or after playing for a while it will happen again.

The system will need to have repairs done. Microsoft is able to perform these repairs, but the unit has to be shipped to them. This can take a few weeks and depending on the severity of the problem can cost you around $150 to have the problem fixed. So hopefully after a few weeks and $150 later Microsoft was able to fix the issue and your Xbox 360 is returned without being damaged in transit.

Or, you can fix the three flashing red lights issue yourself. To do this you will need the Xbox 360 Repair Guide. This guide offers simple easy to follow instructions on how to fix all hardware failures as well as other Xbox issues like overheating, graphics errors, and freeze ups. Many people have reported getting their Xbox 360 back in working order in around an hour after reading the instructions. And others have even started their own Xbox 360 repair business buying problem consoles, fixing them, and selling them doubling their money! As you can see this solution far out ways the turnaround time from Microsoft and it’s much cheaper in fact you can make money from it.
