The "Red Ring of Death" can be one of the most frustrating things you'll ever experience as a gamer.
Fortunately, you aren't the first and you won't be the last one to suffer through it, so here are some things you need to know to help you get your Xbox 360 repaired in the fastest time possible.

Forget the Towel Trick - this has never worked and it never will work either.
Anybody who claims that this has fixed their Xbox Red Ring of Death is flat out lying to you.
In fact, about the only thing it will do is make matters worse because the cause of your errors is due to overheating and using this trick only makes your Xbox run hotter.

If you send if off to Microsoft, regardless of what they say be prepared to be without your Xbox for 6 weeks or longer.
My brother sent his back and Microsoft told him that he would have it back in two weeks.
Six weeks later he had to call them back when he finally got fed up with not hearing anything.

If you choose to purchase a repair guide, make sure you find one that includes video tutorials.
Personally, I know several people that have used these guides to get their Xbox back up and running within an hour but just make sure you get one in which you find testimonials on the webpage, that offers you a money back guarantee, and that includes video tutorials and you'll be all set.
So if you have currently fallen victim to the infamous Red Ring of Death, be sure to take my advice on the above 3 items and you reduce the amount of frustration you experience while you are without your Xbox.
