Microsoft has launched Xbox 360 in year 2005 in cooperation with IBM, ATI, and SIS. It was hailed as the answer to Sony’s up and coming PS3, a machine that would take gaming to the next level that surpass the level of gaming which Sony’s PS2 had enjoyed. Backed by one of the most powerful companies Microsoft had everything going for it, the graphics were breath taking, but with all things that are software and hardware, its possible that things may not work as were planned. In case of xbox360, this all became clear when it released sites bringing new about hardware failure that suddenly meant that Xbox 360 repair was needed.There are lots of causes of Xbox’s problems like; over heating, poor ventilation, faulty DVD drivers, broken power bricks, red light problems, freeze ups problems. If your Xbox is suffering with any of these problems first make sure you are under warranty. If you are one of the lucky ones that still do have a warranty then that's great. You can either choose to have a replacement console or and Xbox 360 Repair. Make sure however that if your Xbox is still under warranty you should not try and open the console at any costs as this will in fact void your warranty and you will not be able to get a free Xbox 360 repair. However if on the other hand you have had your Xbox 360 for a while and it no longer is under warranty you may want to try and fix the console yourself or you can choose to send it to a Xbox 360 repair service center where they can fix it for you at a heavy cost. In addition you will have to wait a few weeks before they can actually repair it and send it back to you. And I would recommend if your console is under warranty send it back to Microsoft for repair as that will the safest alternate for you. And in case your warranty period is already ended, there is no logic in sending it back to Microsoft for repair, paying them $140 and wait for next 6-8 weeks. There are many guides that are now available on the internet that can take you step by step through the repair process. I recommend that if you do purchase one of these guides that you make sure they offer video instructions as well as just the process of taking apart the Xbox 360 can be quite daunting itself but when you are actually watching somebody do it you can follow along which makes the whole process easier. There are currently several websites that offer e-Book and detailed video instructions of Xbox disassembly, the Xbox repair itself and of course the Xbox reassembly so you should exercise due diligence when choosing which product to purchase. The Xbox 360 repair itself (when heat related) is quite simple and can often be done in less than an hour.
