So your
Xbox 360 no longer works and is flashing with three red
lights. Well my friend, it seems that you have been hit with
the Red
Ring of Death. You may also know it as the 3 Red
Lights Error or the 3 Red Lights Ring of Death.
Whatever you want to call it, it is not a good thing. You have
officially become a statistic. In fact 1 out of every 3 Xbox 360 owners
have experienced this problem.
So what are your options?
If your Xbox 360 is still under warranty then you are
fortunate. You can box up and ship your console to Microsoft
and have them repair it free of charge.
There are a
few things to keep in mind before sending your console to Microsoft:
- You are responsible for the shipping and handling
fees.
- You must have your receipt to show that your system
is still under warranty.
- Warranty only applies to the original purchaser of
the system. So if you bought your system from someone else or purchased
it used then you would not be covered.
- May take up to 4 weeks to get system back. Could be
much sooner, though.
If your
Xbox 360 is not under warranty then you can still send it to Microsoft
to repair. However, it is going to cost you about $140 and
could still take up to 4 weeks.
Okay, so
we are going to scratch that option.
Another option would be to repair
your console yourself. Now before you go
freaking out on me, it is not as hard as it may
seem.
Fortunately because of all the widespread problems with the 3 red
lights error some individuals have created guides to help Xbox 360
owners to fix their system.
The best guides will show you exactly how to repair your problem even
if you are not familiar with the inner workings of the Xbox 360 or if
you are not a technical person. The videos and Guides show you all the
steps to get your system working again.
There are many guides out there that have popped up over the
years. However,these 3 are the most popular:
To find
out which guides were worth purchasing we purchased each of these
guides. We went through all of the videos, pdf files, online
files, etc. more than once.
From our research we found that all of the guides will more than likely
help you to repair your Xbox 360. However, one was better
than the others.
We scored each of the guides according to three areas.
- Clear Instructions
- Video Quality
- Ease of Repair
When
evaluating the Clear
Instructions category we looked at whether the guide was
clearly step by step. We looked to see how organized the guides were
and if they were easy to understand. We made sure that the
guides did not assume prior knowledge.
For the Video
Quality category we first wanted to test how visually
clear the videos were. Then we also gave higher grades to
videos that included voice instruction while going through the
repair.
We looked to see that none of the views were obstructed when viewing
the video, since it would not help very much if you cannot see what is
going on. Finally we noted whether the videos were streaming or had to
be downloaded.
We gave
a higher grade for streaming videos since you would not have to put
these huge video files on your computer taking up valuable space.
Lastly, we judged according to the Ease of Repair.
We want the repairs to be as easy as possible to quickly get back to
gaming, right? Some of the repairs used similar techniques so this
score varied less than the other 2 categories.
So after judging all of the guides according to the categories listed
above we came up with a clear winner.
The best guide without a doubt was the Xbox 360
3 Red Light Fix Pro Gamer Edition.
This guide had the best video quality with vocal instructions
throughout. The membership website was very organized and
everything was completely step by step.
