The Xbox 360 3 Red Light error also known as "The red Rings Of Doom" is a major problem for the Xbox 360 console and a lot of Xbox 360 owners have encountered this problem at one point or another.
This article will show you ways that you can fix this error and get back to your games! The first thing that you should check to see whether you have this error is the power supply light.
If the light is green and your Xbox 360 is turned on then you have the 3 red lights of doom, however if you have turned on the Xbox 360 and the power supply light is orange then you probably have a faulty power supply and should ring Microsoft.
You can also try plugging the power pack directly into a wall socket as oppose to a plug extension as this can make a difference as well.
Sometimes it can be because the power pack can not get sufficient power.
If this has not fixed the problem you will have to replace your power supply.
If you have the power supply on a green light then the problem is with the Xbox 360 itself and you will need to fix it.
The first way that you can get this problem fixed is by sending the console back to Microsoft and they will fix it for you.
All you need to do is ring up customer service and they will go through the above steps to find out the problem and then they will send you some packing materials and you need to box up your Xbox 360 and get UPS to come and collect it for you.
The only problem with this option is that it can take up to 6 weeks to get your Xbox back to you due to the amount of repairs that they have to do.
Also if you have any other problem other than the 3 red lights they will charge you to fix this! The other option you have is to fix the problems yourself and to do this you will need to find a suitable Xbox 360 Repair guide that will show you how to do this.
There are a few about online however I would say to be careful as not all of them are quality ans some are just collections of posts from forums and that will not help you fix it at all! However there are a few of them that should get the job done as they have videos that will guide you through everything you need to do to fix it.
Do bear in mind that if you open up your console you will get rid of any remaining warranty that you have on the machine.
I hope this article has helped explain how to repair the red lights of doom and hope you get your Xbox back to life soon!
