That’s right, it is the Xbox 360 red ring of death. The red ring of death is extremely scary. I wish they could of really done a better job on the over-heating problems, or at least made like a free repair guide available to all the users.

Well at least others have taking the opportunity to make some repair guides and make a few dollars. Here is an Xbox 360 repair guide review site, they actually give ratings to the guides, not a bad idea. There are many of these sites on the internet when I got my red ring of death, I really liked the How to fix the red ring of death blog & site.

One thing I do want to make gamers aware of, is the towel trick repair method. Trust me when I tell you this, Do not try it. They will advice you to put a towel around your xbox 360 and make it even hotter!!! okay well that’s just plain dumb in my opinion. How it the heck will making your xbox 360 hotter fix an over-heating problem? can someone please explain the logic behind that great idea.

The good thing is if you still have the warranty in tact you can just send it in, and they will fix it for you, but on the other hand if you don’t you will have to pay some money, which is never fun. Especially if you are broke like me lol!

Usually the best thing to do is just buy a solid repair guide for around $29. I think it better doing that then sending your Xbox 360 off some where and having to wait 4-6 weeks to get it back. When you can just fix it yourself for $29 bucks and a few hours of brain crunching.

Another thing to keep in mind. Dust your box regularly you don’t want too much dust to get into your console. Dust causes a lot of headache for lots of electronics. So keep your Xbox 360 dust-free or at least as much as you can.
