Fixing your Xbox 360

I'll be honest with you, I am not a "early adopter" when it comes to the area of technology. This lesson was drilled into me some years back when VCRs first hit the scene. My parents were among those that went out and bought the HUGE machine that only pulled in some 13 channels and was not cable ready. It cost them over $800....and then 3 years later there were 4 head models that were cable ready for 110 channels. The newer models were in the $250 range as well.

When it comes to the infamous "3 red lights" on the Xbox 360, I was quickly reminded of a problem that the PS2 had shortly after it came out. The original model had some problems with the way the laser lens was set-up. It quickly became a full blown problem for many people who owned them, and Sony was trying to hang tough by sticking with their original 90 day warranty on the systems.

Of course, they did end up reaching a point where they had to admit the problem existed, and extend the warranty to cover the repairs of the game systems. Of course, you still had to pay the postage for returning it to them, and wait for it to be sent back.

Well, since you're reading this post, then you've most likely encountered the general hardware failure for the 360 that is represented with 3 red lights. My son works for a major game retailing chain, and says that several times a week they have customers come in complaining about the 3 light problem. Microsoft did learn from the mistakes of Sony, and they have extended the original warranty to cover 3 years on the early 360 models.

Should you choose to take them up on their kind offer, be aware that you will probably be stuck with the shipping costs, and that it will take some weeks before you see your game console again.

The reason this situation reminded me of the PlayStation 2 problem (aside from the hazards of new technology) is that at that time, tech savvy people were able to come up with solutions to fix the problem. In fact, there were several guides created and sold online thru EBay that were very good in detailing exactly how a person could go about repairing their console.

And...you guessed it, some tech savvy people have now done the same in regards to the XBox 360. They call their guide the Xbox 360 Red Light Fix Pro Gamer Edition®. They offer streaming video turtorials, and also immediate download for the material.

Since they also state that you only need simple tools found around the house, and that it doesn't involve soldering, you can be well on your way to having your Xbox 360 fixed within minutes after clicking the following link and placing your order.

Oh, and the "towel trick" you may have heard of? It rates right up there with the "lean the console" trick for the PS2. It did occasionally work...but never for any real length of time.

But then again, maybe you like 5 to 10 minute gaming sessions.
