However, for those out there whose consoles do suffer from the red lights problem then it is important to learn what causes it and what can be done to fix the issue.

Have you ever noticed that your Xbox 360 console gets extremely hot during use? In fact, some consoles get so hot that it is literally possible to fry an egg on the case! As anybody with a basic knowledge of electronics will be aware, overheating can cause major damage to delicate components. Therefore the main cause of the red lights problem on the Xbox 360 is :

- Too much heat spread over too little an area. This then causes the components to fail much faster and leads to the frustrating red ring problem.

So how can you fix the problem, end the frustration and get back to simple joy of gaming on your Xbox 360? Well you could send your console back to Microsoft for repair. However, this is quite a time consuming process and there is no guarantee that your repaired console will work properly as well. To put it simply - you could be in for a long wait.

Another option is to repair the console yourself. Although it sounds too difficult it is actually possible to fix the red lights problem at home. I've done it, many of my friends have done it and there are many stories online of other people who have fixed the problem as well.
