Overcome 3 Red Lights Error

By Robert Nicheal

The latest improvement of the Xbox 360 from the Microsoft Corporation produces the buzz in all the market. The predecessor of Xbox 360 was the general Xbox console which had fewer characteristics. The extended features of Xbox 360 are expected to meet the anticipations of all the clients. Furthermore, this design was completed within a couple of years.

The Xbox 360 is nothing but a video game console planned and developed by Microsoft Corporation.

The Xbox 360 is a high tech device that has the hardware of the personal computer's motherboard. So they can be compared with the operation of a personal computer.

Any performance can be done by the console's motherboard at a very high speed and frequency.

The graphical configuration of the game is managed by the graphical processing unit. This unit is a separate inner device and is present along with all other devices. The console devices have become popular because of their operation resembling the personal computers and they are particularly made for playing games.

The trouble in the Hardware:

There were complaints on this Xbox 360 about the hardware faults. The red lights in the device glow and this is known as the red light error. The entire set up gets restarted whole playing and the whole game is lost without getting saved.

The problems occur because of overheating of the console devices due to long hours of playing. Still, there is also a complaint that the console gets overheated when used for short-term of time. The console works for a few hours when you compare with other gaming consoles.

Four lights arranged in the form of the ring are present in the project of Xbox 360. They can glow in green or red color.

When the operations are normal it will glow in green color and when there are some problems it will glow in red color. There are altogether four kinds of fault in this console which are named as the single red light error, two, three and four red light faults.

The users can solve the single red light fault and the two red light faults by themselves. But the current problem is about the three red light error which could be a tougher task for the users to solve, when it occurs.

After many studies on the console devices, it was ended up that the overheating of the console was due to some cooling problems. The heat sinks couldn't withstand the heat generated within the console. The hardware especially the graphical processing unit under the heat sinks does not function in the right way.

The console must be changed to have some excess cooling arrangement. Thus the console device remains cool for long hours. Removal the X clamps which hold the heat sinks from the motherboard will give the console the capability to withstand the heat.
