Xbox 360 Repair – The Common Errors That You Should Know About
The Xbox 360 is one of the most popular video gaming consoles ever. Have you ever wondered why? For starters the graphics it offers to the gaming experience. You will not find any other gaming system with graphics that can compare. Next reason would be Xbox live. I have played on Wii and it does not even come close. Playstation I cannot speak on as of yet. Finally would most likely be the games. Gears of War, Call of Duty, and Halo just to name a few. You will see that this video gaming console can satisfy even the most discriminating gamers out there.
However, although the Xbox 360 is one amazing video game console, there are problems that are commonly associated with it. By knowing about the common problems that people experiences with Xbox 360, you will be able to know if you are also experiencing it and also let you know if it can be repaired or not. And if it is a repair you want to attempt or send it to the professionals.
The hardware problems associated with Xbox 360 can range from DVD drive problems to red light error problems. In most cases, there are basically 3 types of light problems that you will notice on your Xbox 360.
When you see a green light, it will mean that it is operating normally. However, if you see red lights, then it will indicate that the Xbox 360 has a problem.
1 red light error will mean one of the E errors has occurred and you will get a message on the screen showing which error. Here are a few and you can find a full list at Llama Xbox 360 error list.
E-68 and E69 are normally going to be hard drive errors.
E-73 is a difficult one. Some people have luck with resetting the console and others say it is a guess.
E-74 can normally be fixed with X-Clamp which is not normally recommended any longer or by a reflow. This error is covered by Microsoft for 3 years.
If you see 2 red lights on the power button, then it will mean that your Xbox 360 is overheating. This overheating will usually lead to the red ring of death error.
For the 3 red light error, if you still are within the 3 year warranty with Microsoft you will want to take advantage of this. This can be fixed with a reflow that alot of repair shops do for $30-$60.
You may also see 4 red lights. This is not really something to worry about because you may just need to make sure your AV cable is plugged in. Double check your AV cable and it will usually work. If not you may need to replace the AV cable.
For the DVD drive error or when your Xbox 360 is not able to read your Xbox game discs, you will see that this problem can be caused by multiple things. You can have the Open Tray, Play DVD, Unreadable disc errors for start. Your disc may not spin or your tray may not open or close. For these problems, I recommend a Xbox 360 DVD Drive Repair Guide. You need a guide that covers every model of Xbox 360 DVD drives, Samsung, Hitachi, Light-On, and Benq DVD drives, along with all DVD Drive problems and errors.
These are some of the common problems experienced with the Xbox 360. Remember these consoles need good air flow and regular cleaning. Sometimes proper maintence can prevent some very costly damages.
