Forget Microsoft.  Break free of the Microsoft chain and fix your Xbox 360 yourself. 

The Xbox 360 is a great console system.  However, there have been many complaints since its release in 2005 to do with hardware errors. The 3 red lights Xbox 360 problem is what most people receive when something goes wrong with their console; this means there is a hardware error, which could indicate a number of different problems. This Xbox 360 repair guide will show you the most common problems and a few possible fixes.  Forget Microsoft and do it yourself.

Overheating
The Xbox 360 overheating problem is one of the most common issues; it can be fixed most of the time by simply putting the console in a more open environment. Many people put the console in an enclosed area to save space but unfortunately the overheating issue means it needs more ventilation. There is a so called “towel fix”.  Do not EVER try the “towel fix”.  You see, the overheating issue has been widely documented as being caused by a poor solder connection at the CPU.  The towel fix alledgedly works by overheating the unit so much that it melts the solder back into place.  While this may work for a day or so, it will ultimately completely destroy your Xbox.

Cabling problems
Sometimes it is simply that the cable in the back of console is not properly connected; make sure it is firmly plugged in. However it can also mean that the console is just not getting enough power which is much harder to spot and fix.

Hardware failure
This is the scary one, when your console has Xbox 360 hardware problems you can unplug and restart the console and try again and sometimes this fixes the issue but often you will experience the same error immediately or after playing for a time then it will happen again. This can lead to a trip to the Xbox repair centre which is expensive and time consuming.

It is unfortunate that the 3 red lights give so little detail into your Xbox problems and Microsoft have admitted there are some serious flaws in their product but hopefully this Xbox 360 repair guide is enough of a tutorial to solve any easy issues quickly.
