Xbox 360 multiple Red Lights Fix – learn to repair It Yourself
If your Xbox 360 gaming system has stopped working and you are getting the multiple Red Lights error don’t fret, there is hope. With some basic tools and a decent repair manual you can perform the Xbox 360 Repair it yourself.
You will need to acquire a set of torx screwdrivers, If you do not have a set you can pick up a low priced set at your local hardware shop.
The multiple red light problem means there is a general hardware failure. 1 thing you can try is to dis-connect everything and let your console sit for 25 minutes unplugged from the power. Re-connect everything and try it again, If you are still getting the problem remove the hard drive and re-install it. Sometimes they get loose and you get a bad connection.
If that did not repair it you will need to open it up at this point. The most common problems are no video or disks will not read. Both can be fix fairly easy.
If you have no video you can attempt a different video plug, borrow a friends if you do not have another one. If you still have no video but audio is working you will need to check the soldering connections on the main board for the video connector. Consult the manual before attempting this or any other internal repairs.
If your Xbox is not loading the disks or getting disk problems make sure your disks are clean.You may have to replace the DVD drive or if you have the skills you can disconnect the DVD drive and replace just the pick up assembly. This is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole drive. Again look at the repair manual before attempting this.
Your other choice is to send your console off to Microsoft and Wait. Nothing worse than having Halo 3 and not being able to play it. I prefer to do my own mods and fixes. The console unit is very similar to your home personal computer, it is actually a small personal computer. With a little patience anyone can learn how to do there own Red Light repairs.
