Xbox 360 repair guide

The 3 red light error is the bane of all Xbox gamers and comes up so frequently as to clog up the MS repair centers. This has led to waiting times of up to 6 to 8 weeks all for a problem Microsoft never addresses in the production of the Xbox 360.

Now don't get me wrong the Xbox is an amazing machine that provides us all with hours upon hours of entertainment, competition and challenges ... but waiting for two months to get your machine fixed is just a bizarre waste of time when it can be fixed in just 30 minutes.

Yep, that’s right just 30 minutes and you could be back to playing your games again and anyone can do it if you know just what to do.

However this information is not for free, the guys who have worked this out have a product that saves you time and money and have a small charge for their efforts. Oh yes, did mention the money? It can cost you about $140 in shipping and handling to get your Xbox to and from the repair centers (with a two month wait time in-between remember) These guides do not cost that much or even near that much so its a pretty good deal.

There are however a few products out there that solve this problem so I thought I would list those I could find and their costs as well as some features they offer so you can make your decision. While everyone wants a free fix remember these guides give you a 30 minute fix and none of them are over $30.

Xbox 360 3 red lights fix by Chris Jones
This guide claims to be the best selling on the net and I do believe this could be true. When you download the guide you get full color pictures to show you what to do as you go along as well as a full length video you can refer to as you follow along fixing the Xbox. He also claims this is a permanent fix that takes just 3o minutes. Chris has taken some serious effort in making this easy to use and very informative and the video is a very nice touch. He only charges $23.95 the cheapest of all the guides also.

This guide’s page looks very professional and also includes videos to help you through the process. They claim to be a group of professional technicians who have a lot of experience with these sorts of things and they do sound like the real deal. They also list a group of fixes that are floating around the net that they have disproved and that may damage your Xbox like the towel trick and soldering connections. They also say the fix will take two hours at the longest; the other guides all seem to claim 30 minutes is all that is needed. I think that the two hours might be more realistic and the others might just be building hype.
This guide costs $29.95 but does seem to be the most professional of the guides on the net.

Again no name on this guide and it also includes a video and pictures to follow along. Seems to be a clone of the first guide I listed but it does have another advantage. They also include an Xbox 360 firmware hacking guide which allows you to play backups and use third party software without using a mod-chip. Not a bad deal really and the content is similar to the others if perhaps not as polished.
The cost of this guide is $24.95 including the bonus product making it the second cheapest around.

I found a few more guides but these looked the most promising of the bunch. So check out the one that looks best to you and remember you could be saving an enormous amount of time and money by using these guys and the downloadable content means that you can get started right away.

I just noticed all of them come with a money back guarantee too, you got nothing to lose!
