Is your Xbox 360 not working? Do you have the “red ring of death”? You’re not the only one. There are many people out there who have the same problem as you. There are a few things you should know about the “red ring of death”. First of all if there is one or four of the four lights are red, there is probably a hardware failure. If two lights are red, that indicates that the Xbox is overheated and you should turn the Xbox off and let it cool down for at least and hour. There is one thing that you can do to prevent this very easily, you can put the Xbox in an open area where it isn’t surrounded by other things e.g. DVD player. If there are three lights that are red

you have the “general hardware failure”. This could be quite severe but you don’t have to spend $140 to get Microsoft to repair it for you. Firstly check so that nothing is blocking the air entering the console or exiting it, and also place the Xbox in an open area like mentioned before. Second thing you can try is to unplug your Xbox 360. Remove the hard drive. Remove all the cables plugged into your console, including the video and anything else that can be disconnected. Plug in the console. Start it up. Did it work? Shut it off and hook everything back in, including the hard drive. Power it up again. If you’re lucky it should work now, if it doesn’t it is probably something quite severe and you will probably have to open up your Xbox. If none of the things above worked you could send your Xbox to Microsoft to have them repair it but that could take 2-8 weeks and maybe even more. There are other ways of repairing it, like repairing it yourself. If
