XBOX 360 REPAIRS
July 10th, 2009 | by Ramaswami |Xbox 360 videogame console has brought hours and hours of fun and entertainment. The Xbox 360 3 red lights malfunction, also known as the “red ring of death,” is a hardware problem that blocks Xbox 360. It’s so called because 3 of the 4 lights that surround the start button flash red instead of green.
If the Xbox 360 console is showing 2 red lights or showing a message on the screen means there is an error 74. There might also be 1 red light error or 3 red light errors and whenever some error messages or red lights, it needs to be fixed quickly so that further damage to the console is minimized. In most of the cases, the console might get heated and an important scalar chip of the system may have burnt out. If there is an error 74, there are limited numbers of options and these are either to learn the repairing technique or send the console to Microsoft for repair. If you opt for the later option, it should be shipped to Microsoft. In addition will also require sending them $140 as fee and will have to wait for about a month to get back the gaming console. This is quite lengthy procedure and even then one cannot be sure to get back the console safe, as there might be any damage to Xbox 360 in transit.
If there is an Xbox 360 one red light malfunctions. It’s not the infamous “red ring of death” that one might have heard so much about. The Xbox 360 has a built-in system that allows technicians and operators to identify what part of the video game console is wrong when it breaks down. It uses the green lights that are normally used to indicate how many controllers are being used during game play. When the Xbox 360 breaks down, a number of these lights go red and the machine stops working. The number of green lights that go red gives an indication of what the problem is. When there are 3 red lights, it means that the problem can be pretty much anywhere in the video game console. This malfunction is so frustrating and famous that it has been called the “red ring of death,” despite the fact that one light stays black, and thus the 3 that go red don’t complete a circle.
However, the Xbox 360 one red light malfunction is much more specific. It means that the problem is either on the DVD drive, or with the hard drive where the information is stored. There is a simple method to identify which of the two drives the Xbox 360 one red light malfunction is referring to. First of all disconnect the hard drive and reboot the Xbox 360 video game console. If the Xbox 360 one red light malfunction persists, it means that the problem resides with the DVD drive. If the console works properly, it means that the Xbox 360 one red malfunction referred to the hard drive. If this is the case, then one can play the games and use the Xbox 360 normally, with the exception that it wouldn’t be able to save the information. In any case, it won’t do to have a video game console that half works.
