Xbox 360 3 Red Lights Can Be Fixed at Home

So you’re sitting down in your favorite chair playing your favorite Xbox 360 game and all of a sudden, disaster strikes.  Your game freezes and those dreaded xbox 360 3 red lights appear on the front of your game console. So now what?  Well you have basically three options. First, you can send your X360 unit back to Microsoft for repairs. Second, you can send your unit to a third-party repair service, or third, you can fix the 3 red lights problem yourself.

If your unit is still under warranty through Microsoft, you should definitely send it back to them to get the repair made.  This keeps your warranty intact, and you also know that the repair will be a good one and most likely permanent.  If you are out of warranty, you can send your unit out to one of the third-party repair services that specialize in fixing the 3 red lights problem.  This will cost you around $50 and a week to 10 days without your xbox.  If you’re the do-it-yourself kind of person,  you can buy one of the xbox 360 3 red light repair guides that are available for download on the internet and fix this problem yourself.  It will take you about an hour and can be done using simple tools that are available at your local hardware store.
