Broken xBox 360 "Repair" Scams
So, what exactly do you do when your Xbox 360 rolls over and dies on you? What do you do when the shock’s worn off and staring you in the face is your broken Xbox 360 red lights of death?
The answer? Don’t panic.
You do need to know your options.- Send it to Microsoft ($140 )
- Throw it away and buy a new unit ($250 )
- Send/take it to a repair shop ($75 + parts)
- Repair it yourself ($36)
You don’t want to send your console back to Microsoft, right? Not when it costs upwards of $140, and certainly not when you consider it’ll be as long as 8 weeks before it’s returned to you. No, that’s certainly not the answer to ridding yourself of the Xbox 360 red lights of death.
You don’t want to crack the case of your Xbox 360 yourself, do you? Once you’re inside, the old fixes require you to get your soldering iron out and do the work that only skilled technicians should be doing. Your Xbox 360 is a serious piece of equipment, after all. It’s not a kettle!
All that leaves you with are the myth fixes, and the urban legends. Wrap your console in a towel – that’ll get rid of the Xbox 360 red lights, right? Tilt the console to 45 degrees and store the power adaptor vertically – can’t fail to get rid of the red lights, am I right?
These myth fixes are as absurd as they sound. And you’re still going to be stuck with your broken Xbox 360 red lights of death.
You can easily and permanently repair your own broken xBox 360 in under 1 hour and be back to gaming today. Continued..., click here.

About Me

I write technical reviews of new electronic products for many of the popular electronic sites on the Internet. You probably have seen them if you've looked for product reviews and ratings in the past. I also have a company which rehabs xBox's, broken xBox 360's, PSP, PS3's and Wii's. We will then resell these units with 30 day guarantees. It's a pretty good business and there's no shortage of gaming platforms to rehab.
