  • How I Fixed My Xbox 360 Fast In Under 1 Hour

    Posted on June 21st, 2010 Jonah Clayton 5 comments

    Hi my name is Jonah,

    I made this page to show you how I fixed my xbox 360 in under 1 hour and got back to gaming the same day, with out any hassle. I’m definitely NOT a gaming pro, or some big computer nerd, but fixing my xbox was super easy and a lot cheaper then shipping it away it Microsoft. (trust me man, you don’t want to do this) I’ve had so many of my friends asking me what I did… I thought it would be easier to share my story on this page, and maybe save some people the trouble and wait of sending it to “someone else”.

    Just last week I had a few friends over playing Call of Duty 4, when all of a sudden my screen froze up and bam! just like that everything died. The screen went completely black and when I tried to restart it all I got was the dam xbox red lights. Man I was pissed, now I have to go through all the crap my pal Josh went through, and I didn’t even know if it would work. I paid so much money for this thing (like 600 bucks if you count all my games), and now I couldn’t even play any games, watch movies, or anything (still makes me cringe when I think about it).

    I was NOT happy at all. But what the hell could I do? My friend had the same thing happen to him a few months back, (apparently every other one of these things gets busted at some point) and he sent his in to be ‘officially’ repaired by Microsuck. They hit him with $150 for the repair, but they must of spent that on something else because he got it back and the dam thing broke again after only 4 weeks.

    Apparently if you ship your xbox 360 into Microsoft to be fixed, it’s really sent to some big warehouse in Texas where a bunch of cheap workers mess around with it and try to patch it up. I don’t know about you man, but that kind of upsets me – I thought Microsoft were the “professionals”, not a bunch of guys making $5/hour and fixing 300 xboxes a day on a big factory table. A lot of stuff can go wrong in that situation.

    I Used This Guide To Fix My Xbox 360

    So I thought… maybe I could try and fix this thing myself, at least then I could get back to gaming FAST, like before the weekend was over fast. So I surfed around the net and found loads of people selling all kinda of “xbox self repair” guides. Long story short, I ended up wasting money on 3 different repair guides that confused the hell out of me, until I found this really sweet guide called “1 Hour 1 2 3 Red Light Fix”. Not only would it fix my ring of death (3 red lights) error, but it also fixes 2 red lights and 1 blinking red light error as well, just in case my xbox ever decided to break again.

    After I bought the guide, everything else was so easy. I just sat back and watched some cool video tutorials on my computer, and I was back on xbox live in like 1 hour. My buddy Tim ran off with the guide of course, and apparently it worked for him too. I truly believe I would be counting dots on my ceiling; or, god forbid, doing homework if I had not found this guide. That is why I have written this page.

    p.p.s Here’s some info on the other 3 repair guides I tried out.

    ring of death chris jones The Chris Jones 3 red light fix was the first guide I tried. This guide gives you 2 techniques to fix your xbox 360, the first one said to wrap a towel around my xbox and “bake it” (ya he actually said to bake it). Luckily I recently read about all the problems with using this method to fix the xbox and I instantly requested a refund and to my surprise, I had my refund in only like 12 hours. You could use this guide to fix your xbox, but from my experience I don’t recommend it (maybe they’ve improved it by now, no clue) I give this guide 3 stars.

    3 red light fix ring of death This 3 red lights fix guide had pretty clearly written pdf instructions and a few videos to watch. Although the guide appeared to be complete, the video quality was very poor and they provided no email support, but if you don’t need customer support you’ll probably do ok with this guide, but be prepared for a challenge (too confusing for me)! I give this guide 4 stars.

    360 fix kit ring of death xbox repairThe 360 Fix Kit was probably the 2nd best guide I came across (if you’re looking to fix the E71 or E99 error, this is the guide you want), the only complaint I had was when I tried to login my password wouldn’t work. I had to wait around a full day just to get a new one from Jerry (the guy that owns the site), but after I got logged in, all the info was there to fix any dvd drive issues. If your dvd drive is stuck and won’t even open, I would go with this guide.
