So you have your very own Xbox 360. I'm pretty sure you are reading this because you are having problem with every one red light on Xbox 360. If you are having this problem, let me tell you that you don't actually have to worry a thing.
I was at the same situation as you were 4-5 months ago. At first, I really don't know what to do. I was playing with the UFC game or was it Fight Night when all of a sudden I noticed the red ring of death on my Xbox 360 is worsening and its just stopping me from playing. It eventually destroyed my Xbox 360. I had it bought for $200 but what did I get in return? Well, I ended up with a console that is actually a liability. So after that, I gave Microsoft a call. They told me that it would cost around $110 plus the cost of shipping for my console to be fixed. I was really shocked but what could I do really? So I said yes. So after around 3 to 4 weeks, they returned my Xbox 360. In fairness to them, they made it work again. But the sad part is after a week or so, its starting to give the very same problem!
From this point on, I decided that Microsoft is cramping me with their style of business. They told me that they will fix it and they actually did! But what they didn't told me was the fact that they could never fix my Xbox 360 and make the red ring of death to go away! So the next thing I did, was to be hysterical. My friends actually noticed me getting angry when the topic of the Xbox 360 and Microsoft's poor customer help is being brought in the conversation. It was until a friend of mine told me that he also suffered the same fate with his Xbox 360. But what he did was that he didn't gave Microsoft the benefit of having $110.
What he showed me changed me forever! He showed me ways to actually fix an Xbox 360 with your own home tools. At first I was really skeptical because, if Microsoft couldn't do it, how come I can do it? But its just like magic. He showed me an instructional video that actually tackles the subject of repairing an Xbox 360 with your own hands. In just 45 minutes to an hour, after watching the video, I was actually able to fix the problem of my Xbox 360! With the time I saved and the money I saved, well Its all worth it to share. We are all in one gaming community, so this goes to all of the guys faced with the problem I faced. Don't give Microsoft your $110! Hooray for the Do-it-yourself Fixes!
