Heatsink Heat

Have you noticed 3 red lights around your power switch of your Xbox 360 before? If you do, you will know why you are reading this article. But, do not worry. There are a lot of ways to get your Xbox 360 up and running in no time with an xbox 360 three red lights fix.

Before you call up any technician to help you with your Xbox problem, you should understand why this has happened and what caused this problem.

This way, you will be able to prevent this from happening again. Once you do experience having that red light on your gaming console, you can do two things.

Some of the time the problem is with the Power Supply of the console.

check these first.

#1 Check the Power Cord of your Xbox 360 and if you find any damage to it replace it.

#2 Power surges can also cause this problem. Unplug the console and leave it off for thirty minutes. Then turn your console back on again and see if it works.

If this does not work check the console is not overheating on you, this is the most common cause of this problem. Here is what you need to check if you see the xbox 360 three red lights.

#3 The console is sufficiently ventilated. This means do not put in anywhere that heat can build up.

#4 Ensure there is plenty of space around the ventilation for the fan and that the fan itself is not full of dust.

If the console still fails then you will need to repair it. The reason for this failure is likely to be overheating of the GPU.

There are two reasons for this.

#5 The x-clamps holding the heatsink in place are allowing it to come loose, resulting in the console overheating.

#6 The heatsink compound has come away or there is not enough on the heatsink, possibly as a result of the heatsink moving.

The solution is to replace the x-clamps and to ensure the kit you get with new clamps has new heatsink compound. When you replace the x-clamps remove the old compound first completely. the compound helps to conduct the heat away from the GPU onto the heatsink and is vital there is enough.

Once you have done this you will find you no longer have the xbox 360 three red lights any more and that your console will work properly without fear of it failing again.

If your Xbox 360 is failing with 3 red lights here is the #1 solution for the Xbox 360 Three Red Lights this is guaranteed to fix the problem click here to get your Xbox working.
