Repairing Your XBOX 360: Recovering From A Hardware Failure

If the "Red Ring of Death" has plagued your XBOX 360, then you are undoubtedly in a lot of emotional pain; especially if you don't happen to know how to resolve the situation. Well, you are in luck. Contrary to what you might think, you're 360 is not destined for the trash. As a matter of fact, the problem can now be fixed free of charge and with very little hassle.

In the past, the "Red Ring of Death" was covered only under the standard warranty. Once the warranty was up (one year manufacturer’s warranty), the person would have to pay for any repairs that were needed out of his/her own pocket. However, since the "Red Ring of Death" has befallen so many XBOX 360 owners, Microsoft has decided to revamp it's warranty conditions. The revamp applies only to hardware failures, which is known as the "Red Ring of Death".

In the event that your XBOX 360 console becomes victim to a hardware failure, which is indicated by 3 flashing red lights, you will be able to have your system repaired free of charge. Not only that, but if you had your XBOX360 repaired in the past due to the "Red Ring of Death", you will also be reimbursed for all of the repair fees.

Aside from the reimbursements and free console repairs, current and future XBOX 360 owners will be upgraded to a 3 year warranty instead of just a one year warranty. That means you will have quite a long time to enjoy your 360 without having to worry about renewing it's warranty or spending money on costly repairs. It really doesn't get any better than that.

Once you have received your XBOX 360, it is vital that you take care of it and place it in a more suitable surrounding in order to help prevent future hardware failures. Although Microsoft won't specify the exact cause of the "Red Ring of Death", most gamers & experts agree that it is because of overheating. Therefore, keep the area it's in well ventilated and cool.
