What is Microsoft Xbox 360 3 red lights fault?

The infamous Microsoft Xbox 360 3 red lights fault is one of the most common faults that that gamers every now and then experiences. Known as the Ring of Death, the three red lights error basically occurs due to some technical failures of the Xbox360 which includes defective console, problems with power supply, failure of the system to read the hard drive etc. If your Microsoft Xbox360 gets affected by any of these difficulties, you might see three red lights appearing around the power button of the machine which is termed as the 3 red lights fault.

Dealing with Xbox 360 technical faults

If you are a proud owner of a Microsoft Xbox360 and simply love to enjoy your free times with it then this is a good time for you to get some idea about how to deal with the Xbox360 technical faults like 3 red lights. Now I really wish that you won't need to deal with these problems but if unfortunately some technical faults struck your machine then I don't want you to scratch your head and get completely freaked out. This is why I have gathered all these information for you that thousands of Xbox360 owners found useful to fix their piece.

First have a look at the warranty of your machine. If it breaks down within the warranty period then you can have the 3 red lights fault fixed by Microsoft for free. The only problem is you might have to wait for a month to get your precious machine back.

If the warranty is no longer active for your Microsoft Xbox360 then this might cost you a few bucks to fix the 3 red lights fault. Now when I say a "few" bucks, don't take it for Microsoft because they will charge you $140 (at least) to fix your warranty expired piece and you will have to pay the shipping cost as well.

Unless you are really happy to pay Microsoft all those money, there are some other very cost effective options available for you to fix the 3 red lights fault which can stop your wallet from bleeding excess money. One of these options is getting help from some other repair service providers. There are quite a few of them available who will charge you far lower than Microsoft to fix the 3 red lights fault. But still you need to wait for a good few weeks to have your system back. Personally, I vote for the last and I believe the best option to repair your Microsoft Xbox360 3 red lights fault. That is- repairing it by yourself!
