1. What is the 3 Red Lights Error?

The 3 Red Lights Error indicates a general hardware failure with your Xbox 360.  The console becomes inoperable when this occurs.

Microsoft has worked to try to find the cause of this failure.  Most experts agree that it results from a inefficent design of the Xbox 360 that causes overheating in the system. This overheating then causes other problems with the parts within the console resulting in a general hardware failure.

2. I have 4 red lights on my Xbox 360. Is this the Red Ring of Death error that has been creating so many problems?

Fortunately it is not. The 4 red lights on the Xbox 360 simply means that your cables are not properly inserted into your system. Make sure that all of your cables are fully inserted and none of them are loose.  This should fix the problem.

4. Can't I just send my Xbox 360 to Microsoft and have them fix the 3 Red Lights Error?

Microsoft has extended the warranty for their Xbox 360 consoles to 3 years. If your Xbox 360 is still under warranty then Microsoft will repair your system at no additional cost.  Here are some things to keep in mind before sending your console to Microsoft for repair:

• Only covers the Red Ring of Death Error (3 Red Lights).  It does not include other types of malfunctions. 
• Applies only to the original purchaser of the Xbox 360.  So you would not be covered if you bought your system from somebody else or if you purchased a used version.
• Must have your receipt or proof of purchase.
• Be prepared to lose any saved information that you may have if Microsoft decides to send you a replacement system instead of fixing your old one.
• Prepare to be without your Xbox 360 for up to 4 weeks or longer, although some people have reported receiving them back much sooner.
• You are responsible for the costs of shipping and packaging to send your Xbox 360 to Microsoft.

If you are okay with the above then we would suggest you sending your Xbox 360 to Microsoft for them to repair.
