Discover Your Options For XBOX 360 Repair

By Grant Dougan

If you're an XBOX 360 gamer, then you're certainly not the only one! It's definitely the hottest gaming system on the market. However, it can break and then you have to deal with those dreaded 3 red lights lit up on your XBOX. So what are your options to repair an XBOX?

There's a number of "do-it yourself" tips and stories out there. Different people have concocted random strategies to fix a faulty XBOX, but almost all of them are complete bunk!

As an example, someone brought out "the towel trick". For some reason somebody came up with the idea that wrapping up your system in a towel would suddenly fix it! Naturally this is more likely to start a fire than repair your XBOX 360!

And sadly this silly trick isn't the only XBOX 360 repair myth out there - there are a lot more. Some people have actually tried to break open the case and used a soldering tool to try to fix the problem. There's a lot of working parts in an XBOX, and cracking open the casing like this is bound to cause more troubles - don't do it!

Obviously, you can send in your XBOX 360 to Microsoft and let them repair it, but this isn't a great option either. Not only will you be without your XBOX for 4-8 weeks, but you also have to shell out $140 plus shipping to for them to fix it. That's a long time to wait and a good amount of cash!

Many people think that the cost Microsoft charges is far too much. They should be ready to help their customers for a better price, especially when it doesn't cost them near that much to fix it. But I guess they are out to make revenue anyway possible.

The best alternative is to locate a reliable XBOX 360 repair manual to outline to you how to fix it on your own. You can now find a few XBOX repair manuals that you can purchase that have been assembled by professional technicians that have experience fixing game systems.

These manuals include easy to follow directions and some will even include full video instructions to make it even simpler to follow along. Truth is, repairing your XBOX isn't complex once you have the correct directions on hand.

The 360 is an amazing gaming system that continues to command the video game world. If it breaks, XBOX repair manuals are a fabulous way to fix your XBOX if you ever need to. Happy gaming!
