How Fix xbox 360

There are now so many online guides available to help you fix your troubled xbox, it's become harder to select the xbox repair manual, than actually do the repair!

So you've fried your xbox and are looking at red rings... what to do?

Well before doing anything rash, try simply disconnecting everything off your xbox and letting it cool down for 30 minutes, then try powering it up hoping for the best.

If this fails and you're still in warranty, let Microsoft deal with it you can visit their support here.

Out of warranty, or don't want to wait you're going to have to consider a DIY how fix xbox guide.

There are two main variations of red light xbox fix, a full proper and permanent one, and a quicker easier work around.

Most red rings of death xbox errors can be traced to the design flaw of the x-clamps that hold the CPU & GPU to the heatsinks. The x-clamps bend through heat, so bending the motherboard, this then breaks  vital soldered contacts with CPU & GPU processors and gives us the infamous xbox red rings of death / RROD.Hence why we need a how fix xbox guide to get us gaming again.

Anyway the full xbox three red lights fix requires far more work removing the x clamps and cleaning and replacing the thermal paste that conducts the heat form the overheating processors out of the xbox through the two heatsinks. You don’t need any special tools (small screwdriver and a flat head screwdriver, and occasionally pliers), but you do have to take everything apart.

A partial xbox three red lights fix, doesn’t require taking it all apart, as it “supports” the x clamps to prevent them bending when heated. Also known as the “xbox penny fix”, as it uses pennies insulted with electrical tape to form the “support”. This fix is good if you “feel” you’re xbox isn’t too badly damaged by heat.

Before buying a how fix xbox 360 repair guide I would look out for a few things:-

1. Solid money back guarantee – The red lights xbox guides are now mostly video tutorials, and instantly accessible, so if your xbox is not up and running in a couple of hours, you get your money back.

2. Always go for the video guides - I simply fired up the video, and followed the guy step by step through the whole process – simple.

3. Look at the bonus offers that come with the guides. Sometimes these are worth more than the guide!

The guide I bought offers a membership deal with all sorts of other useful xbox 360 stuff inside, and came with free back up software to enable me to back up my newest games, so I was almost pleased I had to do the repair myself in the end.

My mate Steve was right, it was simple and required no special skills or tools.

Buy a professional guide with a money back guarantee, and your be seeing GREEN again  in no time (well about 1 hour 30).

Happy gaming
