If love the XBOX, you are definitely not the only one! It's definitely the best selling gaming system out there. However, every now and then it breaks and you're faced with those scary 3 red lights on the front of your XBOX. Let's take a look at how you can repair an XBOX 360.
There's a number of home repair tips and stories out there. Various people have concocted random techniques to repair a faulty XBOX 360, but most of these are complete bunk!
As an example, somebody brought out "the towel trick". For some reason some gamer thought that wrapping up your system in a towel would somehow repair it! Naturally this is more likely to begin a fire in your home than repair your XBOX 360!
And sadly this silly trick isn't the only XBOX 360 repair myth out there - there are a lot more. Some people have actually tried to break open the case and used a soldering tool to try to fix the problem. There's a lot of working parts in an XBOX, and cracking open the casing like this is bound to cause more troubles - don't do it!
Obviously, you can send in your XBOX to Microsoft and let them repair it, but this isn't a good option either. They keep your system for 4-8 weeks and you also have to pay $140 plus shipping to get it back. That's a long wait and a good amount of cash!
Many people think that the cost Microsoft charges is far too expensive. They should be prepared to help their customers for a better price, particularly when it doesn't cost them near that amount to fix it. But I imagine they like to earn revenue anyway possible.
Your best bet is to find a reliable XBOX 360 repair manual to show you how to repair it yourself. There are now a couple of XBOX repair guides that you can purchase that have been put together by professional technicians that have experience repairing the XBOX 360.
These guides include step-by-step directions and a few even come with full video instructions to make it even easier to follow. Repairing your system isn't difficult when you have the correct instructions.
The 360 is an amazing gaming system that continues to command the video game world. If it breaks, XBOX repair manuals are a fabulous way to fix your XBOX if you ever need to. Happy gaming!
