So there you are happily playing GTA IV on your 360 when boom the game freezes! You think oh well not to worry and turn the console off, take the disc out and then switch it back on. You see the dreaded red lights and panic, and then you search on the internet and find your way to this article.
Well the good news is that this article will tell you what the red lights mean, how they are caused and what you can do to try and fix them!
The bad news is that as you have probably guessed they do indicate a problem with your Xbox!
Ok don't panic here we go:
The red lights are caused by the same thing happening in the Xbox 360 which is overheating!
This is normally not down to where you are keeping the console unless you have it next to a fire or a heater in which case move it somewhere cooler. The problems arise from the design of the Xbox and not enough cooling so it can help to buy a Nyko intercooler which is 3 fans that plug on the back and give it 3 times the cooling.
The CPU and the GPU overheat and as the soldering becomes loose the motherboard bends and then the soldering snaps off and that is when you are left with this problem.
So what can you do to repair your Xbox?
Well if you have the 3 red lights you can send the Xbox back to Microsoft and they will fix it for you. The only downside is that they have tons to do and if you send it in you will find yourself waiting for weeks to get a repaired console back to you.
If you can't wait that long then you can look for an Xbox 360 Repair guide online and there are a few about however not all are equal in quality so do your homework first and make sure if you do get one that it has a full guarantee and also step by step videos to show you how to fix it!
I hope this article has helped you find out what is wrong with your 360 and given you a way that you can fix these problems.
