With the creation of all the next generation consoles and as we move into new technology it is no wonder that these consoles encounter more problems.

One console that has really had quite a few problems is the Xbox 360 and it is amazing how many people are looking for Xbox 360 Repair. This is because the console is quite small and has all the equipment of a high end gaming PC put into a small space!

I have written this article to give you a few ideas of what you can do if you have a broken Xbox before you pay money for Xbox 360 Repair.

Firstly there are to many errors to list here so I will just deal with the main problems:

One of the main problems with the Xbox 360 is overheating and I would say that over 60% of Xbox 360 Repair is done because the console has burnt itself out! You can minimize the risk of your console overheating by making sure that you keep it in an are that is well ventilated!

This means if you have it right next to a heater or fireplace then it would be a good idea to move it and try keeping it cooler.

The second most common reason people look for Xbox 360 Repair is the DVD drive and there tends to be three different types. You normally know if you have this problem as when you put a disc in it starts making a loud crunching sound.

The Best way to fix this is with a good repair guide.

Visit the link on top of the description, to see how to do this yourself before you have taken your 360 apart.

I hope this article has helped give you a few things you can try before you send in the console for Xbox 360 Repair.

This issue is the same as the YLOD (Yellow Light of Death) for PS3. Both systems use what they call "Thermal Grease". When this burns up, evaporates, disappears, ect. , your PS3/Xbox 360 overheats and powers off to preserve your system from catching on fire, or frying the motherboard. Since I helped my friend fix his 360 with this same method, I will make a tutorial on how to fix your PS3 YLOD problem.

  • my power supply goes to an orange light as soon as I turn my xbox on. Will it still bake if the power supply aint green?

  • Green and yellow indicate that your video cable is not properly seated. Check to see if you have a short in the wire or not. This should fix the problem you're having.

  • thank you so much man it worked! But for some reason after I had the two red lites and it was baking i let it cool for 10 and it was fine i didnt have to run it a third time like you. Do you know why that is gamelinx?

  • Some Xbox systems are more trouble than others. I had the one that was trouble. After the extra baking, mine works fine now ;)

  • @SYNgatesMASTER actually 1 volt can kill you, its not the voltage that is dangerous its the amps(current).

    just rubbing a balloon on your head will generate tens of thousands of volts! :)
