If your experiencing Xbox 360 Red Light Error

If your experiencing and Xbox 360 Red Light Error you may notice a few things. Your Xbox 360 console might have just 3 lights lit up in red color opposed to the 4 lights that are suppose to be green. Your console might even freeze and not play games properly. And you might also get a black screen with a message in 4 languages telling you what type of Xbox 360 error you have. The Xbox 360 errors are labled by numbers and each code could be the cause of one of many problems.

Lets start with a few trouble shooting techniques you can do on your own. First locate your power supply and check to see if the light on the power supply is red or green. If the light on the power supply is green then the power supply is in good condition. If the power supply light is red then you might need a new Xbox 360 power supply.

So, you have a good power supply if the light is green. Then that means its your console that is having the problems. Check to see how hot your console is, your Xbox 360 might not have good ventilation. Lack of air to your Xbox 360 console will cause it to burn out. Let's try unplugging your Xbox 360 console from the power supply and let it sit for a few minutes. Plug everything back in and load your Xbox 360.
