to Xbox 360 Repair Guide
Xbox 360 3 red light error, also called as red rings of death error,
is one of the major problems faced by many Xbox users. Before you fix
this error you better ensure that your error is Xbox 360 3 red light
error. I will guide you through this process.
Make sure that the power supply light is green or it is not
illuminated after you switch on your Xbox and the other three lights
are red in color. Sometimes orange or red color light may also be seen
in instead of the green power supply light. If your Xbox power supply
light is red or orange then the reason for this is the poor power
supply to the Xbox. The reason may be over current, over voltage, more
harmonics( this represents poor power quality), over frequency or
under frequency.
These are caused due to the irregularities or any faults in the power
cables which feed power to your houses. You don't need to do any thing
for these irregularities. A lighting or any faults in the power
transmission line may cause this error. Usually the power system
parameters will be changed during the occurrence of a fault in the
power system network and these faults reflect on the consumer side
resulting in lack of performance in the consumer equipment. You might
sometimes see the lights dimming or an increase or decrease in the fan
speed in your home. This is because of the above said reason.
You cannot do anything when this error occurs. All you need to do is
switch of your power supply and switch on your Xbox after an hour or
two. This type of error occurs mainly during rainy season. Your Xbox
is subjected to "3 red light error" or "Read Ring of Death Error" if
any of the following condition is satisfied.
1. Power supply light is Green and all the other lights are red2.
Power supply light is not illuminated and all the other lights are
red.
You can fix this error in two ways. First method involves sending your
Xbox console to Microsoft and get it repaired by them. This usually
takes more than a month and you need to pay over $140 if you are out
of the warranty period and moreover there are certain risks associated
with shipping. Most of the Xbox users opt to buy a new Xbox instead of
repairing their old ones by sending it to Microsoft.
