Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death
 

           

Overview: The following review looks at comparing the various "XBox Ring of Death" fixes and tutorial products available on the internet.

The Xbox Ring of Light (RoL) problem can be described as flashing red lights on the front of your Xbox 360 console. This problem has historically been resolved by submitting a 'Console Repair' request to Microsoft and returning your XBox to the Xbox repair center in Texas to undergo refurbishment.

In recent times however the Xbox Ring of Death problem has been succesfully remedied by many Xbox users in their living room and is no longer deemed neccesary to dispatch consoles back to Microsoft in order to be repaired.

Ultimate XBox 360 Repair Guide
Ultimate XBox360 Repair Guide is a great eBook/PDF guide on how to repair your XBox. The only real issue I have with this product is it lacks the supplementary video tutorials that many other Xbox Red Light Repair Guides now incorporate. This was one of the original XBox Repair Guides available and still a very useful resource nonetheless.

Pros:

  • Good Guide eBook guide with good use of pictures as well
  • 56 Day Money Back Guarantee.
  • Simple Instructions.

Cons:

  • No Video Tutorials unlike some other guides available.

Last Words: As you can see there are a range of guides available. In truth there was not a huge difference between the number 1 ranked guide and the number 4 ranked guide. With traditional XBox repair taking up to 4 weeks (in cases where the XBox needs to be shipped to Microsofts repair center), and costing up to $140 in shipping costs, it really makes much more sense for users to make you of the Do-It-Yourself approach these guide bring. A great solution to a very inconvenient problem on the Xbox console.
