If you are suffering from the red lights (red ring of death) on your Xbox 360 console then it will be down to overheating of the chips and to fix this you will need to stop that heat build up. There are 3 ways to do this: you can send it in to be repaired, fix it yourself or buy a new Xbox 360.

Fix your red ring of death by shipping it away to Microsoft.

This option sounds good doesn't it? Well not really if your Xbox is not under warranty. If you are still within the one-year warranty then you have no problems, go ahead send it away, but expect to wait 4 to 8 weeks. If your Xbox is not under warranty, this option can be very expensive. You can expect to pay at least $150 as well as waiting up to 8 weeks to get your console back.

You should be aware of that opening up your console will void your warranty. So, if your warranty has expired or if you've already worked inside your console then there's nothing to lose. Otherwise you ought to give it some careful thought first before trying other Xbox 360 repair solutions.

Yep, the same ones with the little brush on the underside of the disk. As the disk rotates, it cleans the lens. Give it a shot. It can not hurt.

2. It can, there are some dust particles that the CD cleaner can not be removed. Use a compressed air can and blow it into the drive bay. I know there are many gurus who do not say it, do so because they are only the dust evenly distributed. In fact, I've done it, and have caused immediate results.

3. If you are the 3 red light error is displayed, or if you have any system errors that the form works fine console getting unable to attend, please contact your device easily, let it sit for a few minutes and then turn it back on. Yep, this in many different situations, even the 2 red flashing light error. If you are not all the results after switching on the Xbox console off and then do one, the same thing by turning it off. But this time, unplug your console. Then unplug all leads, cables and wires from your console. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Be patient and wait for the entire 30 minutes.Chances are, if you turn it on again, it works properly. In my experience, this seems to be about 20 percent of the time to work. You should be able to re-Gaming. There is no guarantee that this will permanently fix the Xbox Elite, but it does not hurt to try....
