History
The Microsoft XBox 360 is a video game console system that was released in late 2005. Consoles manufactured prior to that date through approximately July 2007 have been reported with a failure rate of up to 10% to 30% in regards to a “general hardware failure” as indicated by three flashing red lights on the LED light circle surrounding the power switch button
The so called “3 red light error” or “ring of death” does not give any indication to the specific cause of the failure. This leaves Xbox 360 owners with few options for resuscitation of their units other than to ship them out for factory repair.
The volume of Xbox 360 consoles in the repair pipeline has become so overwhelming that repair centers have devleoped huge backlogs creating wait times for their owners of up to several weeks or more. In addition, some fixes are not covered under warranty, or warranties have expired and therefore, can cost proportionately close to full replacement value.
FixMyXBox360.com offers alternatives for Xbox 360 revival as a last resort prior to relinquishing the unit to the repair gridlock.
