The Quest For The Definitive Xbox 360 Repair Guide

By Alexander Thompson

Every Xbox 360 user's nightmare has got to be looking for a fix for his console. Once the three lights of death start shining the quest for the ultimate Xbox 360 repair ebook begins - naturally in the absence of other fixes and particularly if the Xbox is out of warranty. What is even worse: when even the ultimate Xbox 360 repair guide fails, a visit to Microsoft's repair centre is what costs nerves and money.

Considering that about 6% of the Xbox 360s produced are irreparable, it makes no sense to ask Microsoft for help prior to knowing whether the Xbox can be fixed. They'll charge you just to look at the box! Most of the Xbox 360 users who experienced such problems agree that the easiest way to tell if the Xbox 360 can be fixed is to use the towel trick when the three red lights of death are on. There are enough tutorials and videos online demonstrating how this works, probably as many as there are voices that tell you not to play such a trick on your Xbox 360. The towel trick seems to work for many (and in all cases reported it's a temporary fix) but in rare situations it could damage the console forever. Fighting heat with even more heat is probably not the best idea.

Fortunately there are enough user forums, blogs and discussion groups where Xbox 360 users can share their thoughts and experiences, and almost all these resources will point to an Xbox 360 repair ebook that helped. What you need to know is that there is no such a thing as an official Microsoft Xbox repair guide, so if someone even insinuates that they have it, try not to fall for it.

There are however valid fixes for some of the most common Xbox 360 problems. In the quest for the ultimate fix many users ended up destroying their Xbox 360s. To select the best Xbox 360 repair guide you'll probably need to listen to the advice of experts and peers. Find out what worked for other people in a forum, or from gaming friends.
