When your Xbox 360 isn’t working anymore, what do you do? Once the shock of seeing those three red lights in a ring wears off, you need to take some time and figure out what your options are.

The first thing is not to panic.

Up until now, seeing those three red lights has been a sign that the console is dead for good. That’s because all the fixes for this general hardware failure were ineffective or costly.

Almost no one wants to send their console back to Microsoft as a first choice. That’s because this option costs a hundred forty dollars or more, and it can take two months to get your Xbox 360 back. It’s a good last resort, but there are other options out there.

Cracking your Xbox 360’s case probably isn’t the right answer, either. After all, once you’ve opened it, you’ll need a soldering iron and the skills to use it for high end electronic repairs. That’s work that should only be done by experienced technicians, not amateurs at home.

There are plenty of urban legends and myths about how to fix your Xbox 360, too. Some say that wrapping the console in a towel will get rid of the lights. Others will tell you to tilt it at forty-five degrees, and to store the power adapter in an upright position. However, you might not be happy with the results.

If those sound silly, it’s because they are. They don’t fix the problem, and if you try them, you’ll still be stuck with a console that doesn’t work and three red lights.

The good news is that there are actually a few fixes you can do on your own to help you deal with your non-working Xbox 360. Developed by tech professionals with knowledge of how these consoles work, they might be what you’ve been looking for.

These professionals have seen lots of Xbox 360s with the same problem – those three red lights – and they’ve used these simple solutions every time. It takes less than two hours to get a console up and running once more.

There are quite a few repair secrets available if you know where to look. For instance, think about checking out Xbox repair guides online. There are several put together by trained technicians to help Xbox gamers like you. You’ll get video instructions and a full manual to show you what to do.

Plus, unlike methods which require a soldering iron, you can try these techniques, and if they don’t work, you can still send your machine to Microsoft. Of course, most of the time, you won’t need to – you can fix your console in your own home, saving time and money, too.

Of course, you should always look for Xbox repair sites and manuals that offer a money back guarantee. That way, if you can’t fix your system, you’ll pay nothing!
