Xbox 360 is a video gaming machine created by Microsoft with an aim of capturing gaming industry worldwide. Microsoft launched its first 'Next Generation' gaming console in the form of Xbox 360 in 2005. Nowadays Microsoft Xbox’s are getting lots of competition from other big players in the industry like Sony and Nintendo. Since its launching, Xbox 360 has been able to capture a greater share of video gaming industry.
But Large number of Xbox 360 consoles are suffering from several hardware problems like 'Three Red Lights' or popularly known as 'Red Ring of Death' problem. An Xbox starts showing three flashing lights when a major hardware malfunction has occurred. Microsoft has been offering one years warranty for all faulty consoles that are purchased after July 2007 and all Xbox that are facing three red lights problem are covered for the next three years from the date of purchase. Microsoft has not confirmed any specific reason for this failure but it's widely attributed due to extreme overheating and poor airflow within console.
Since I told you earlier, there is a warranty service available from Microsoft, but that takes lots of time which includes getting the faulty console from you, repairing it and sending it back to you. And we may have to give shipping charges depending upon our physical location where we want the delivery of our Xbox. With this, we also have to take the burden of calling Microsoft service center, Packaging our Xbox, taking it to the courier service and being at home when we receive it back after repair.
So the best solution for you will be repairing Xbox yourself instead of sending it to Microsoft even if its under warranty. And its Xbox warranty has gone; there is no logic of wasting your time and money because in that case you will be paying Microsoft $140 for repair apart from shipping and packaging charges.
