Xbox 360 3 Red Light Fix

If you have found yourself reading this article then no doubt you will already know about some of the issues involving the Xbox 360 and the xbox 360 3 red lights problems.

Well this article will tell you a few things that you can do to help prevent or get rid of the 3 red lights so you can have your system back up and running and be playing on your games again.

The main reason that the Xbox 360 gets the 3 red lights is through overheating and if you keep the console in an enclosed area without much ventilation then you are running a very high risk of getting the 3 red lights.

It is best to keep the Xbox 360 uncovered so that it can get lots of air all around the 360 as the console is full of high end components that give out a lot of heat, and the 3 red lights can be caused by the motherboard bending due to this.

Another thing you can do to minimise the risk of getting the 3 red lights on the Xbox is to make sure that you raise your power brick up off the floor!

Sounds Weird I Know

Although what you may not know is that the power brick that comes with the Xbox 360 has little fans inside also that actually pump out the heat and you can help make this more effective by raising it up on a cardboard box where this too can also breathe!

Another thing and what I use is the Nyko Intercooler and this plugs into the back of the Xbox and pumps air out so to stop the overheating, so instead of just one fan working with the intercooler you get three.

If you are already suffering from the Xbox 360 3 Red Light problems then you should either send it back to Microsoft and they will fix it for you in about 3 - 4 weeks, or you could search around for an Xbox 360 3 Red Light Fix guide as there are a lot about.
