The best magazine
Its a problem.
What are you going to do? I can tell you right now that you have 3 options.
I want to warn you in advance that there are some other options you might stumble across that are VERY dangerous.
The most typical one is the "blanket fix".
This involves tightly wrapping your xbox 360 in a blanket while leaving it running.
I have no idea why this SOMETIMES works, but I can tell you that overheating an electronic device never results in good things.
They come installed with fans for a reason folks.
So what are you REAL options? -Option 1- You can send it in to Microsoft.
This is a good option because it guarantees you will have a working xbox.
It's a bad option because its going to cost you an arm and a leg.
You have to pay for repair costs and shipping! Its also a bad option because you will have to wait a long time.
Not only for the shipping but the repairs as well.
Your Xbox isn't the only one in the world that needs fixing! -Option 2- Your next option is to find some place in your area that can fix it.
The truth is that this is almost impossible.
All the big name stores will send them to Microsoft and charge you even more then it would have cost you to send it yourself.
Finding a technician in one of the smaller shops who can actually do it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
-Option 3- This last and final option is the one I like the best.
You can fix it yourself.
I know this brings up a whole slew of worries in peoples minds but don't fear the unknown! There are step-by-step VIDEO guides you can download instantly to walk you though the process.
They are dead simple to follow and all you need is a screw driver.
Whatever option you choose I wish you the best of luck in finding your xbox 360 red light fix.
