Has the Xbox 360 Impeded You playing Your Top games because of the 3 red light Ring of Death?
Well, let me tell you that I have been there a few of times before. Once was only a mere 2 months after I bought the console.
That was fine this time because the Guarantee was still there, and I was handed a new one by the Game shop.
But if the Warranty is up, you have limited and Expensive options.
You can pay over $110 to Microsoft for a repair and you will have to wait 2-3 weeks for your console to come back.
Worse still is that I have heard a few reports that when the Xbox 360 consoles came back from Microsoft, the notorious 3 red lights of doom came back shortly afterwards.
What is the Exact cause of the Dreaded Three Red light problem?
The core cause of the console's Hardware failure lies in the Heat sink design, Primarily in the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).
The Optical disk drive is above the GPU, and because of this, the heat made by the GPU is far greater than the heat sink can take in order to maintain an optimal temperature throughout the console.
In the Xbox 360 Elite, Microsoft altered the design of the cooling system so that the Liquid cooling Extend's beyond the CPU to the GPU. This makes the console dissipate the Heat better and therefore does not overheat to the same extent.
So the bottom line is that constant exposure to high temperatures cause the motherboard to warp slightly which causes cracking of some of the solder joints on the board. That then triggers Hardware failure and the 3 red lights show up on your Xbox 360.
I searched far and wide for a 'free' solution (towel trick) but ended up creating irreparable damage to my 360 and I had to live with a permanent 3 red lights, or as i like to call it, the Devil's Halo!
I was looking for Valuable information. But if you want that, there has to be a Value on it. (i.e. you gotta pay for it), but if it saves your beloved Xbox, its going to save you a lot of money.
I found 10+ Xbox 360 guides on the web all claiming to get the fix done in 30 minutes, some say 1 hour and others say 2 hours.
While most of the guides good offer explanations and step by step instructions, there are some guides that give you summarized information of the top guides out there.
So being a lover of computer games and having an Electronic Engineering degree, I decided to take action and review the top 6 selling guides out there and I narrowed them down to a Top 3.
