Is your XBOX 360 kicking out the RROD error? Do you happen to be facing some common XBOX 360 problems such as the feared 3 red lights of doom (XBOX 360 RROD), your disc drive is unable to open and close or other unidentifiable disc errors?

Quite a few people with XBOX 360 red ring of death errors will look to YouTube for video repair tutorials. Video solutions like those found on YouTube can be risky and may make things worse rather than better.

The poor quality of these amateur videos involves both audio and video. In addition, many times the repairs involve strange and damaging solutions. This is a common problem of looking to YouTube to provide solutions to your more than simple XBOX 360 repair problems. Often you will find that videos have some minimally useful comments. I say minimally because you really do not know who’s commenting and the motivations behind the comments. It could be the actual video producer, not a real user for all we know. Or it could be someone who’s XBOX 360 was temporarily fixed, they left a comment after fixing it, only to realize a few weeks later that it didn’t solve their problem when the RROD’s came back.

The XBOX 360 disc drive presents problems which users are familiar with such as difficulty of the drive to open as well as issues of the an unreadable or unplayable disc.

Among some of the possible causes are lost connection of a magnet under the XBOX 360 hood, dirty spindles, rubber bumper issues, and a small spring requiring a little tweaking under the hood.

Those are just a few problems. There are also many YouTube solutions to these problems. One of them includes placing a hair band on the little rubber bumper, which you would think most people would be smart enough to know a bad idea when they see it. Unfortunetly a lot of people trust the producers of these Video’s to solve their problems as if these people really understand the inner workings of such a complex computer part like a motherboard or processor. And that is the problem with watching YouTube video’s to solve your XBOX 360 repair issues.

So, what is the answer to your XBOX 360 errors that need to be repaired? If not YouTube or some other free video resource, where do you turn? Should you pay the big bucks and ship it off for repair at Microsoft, which costs $149.00 plus 2 - 4 weeks of wait time? Personally, I recommend you avoid the freebie online video tutorials as a source for fixing your XBOX 360 3 rings of death errors. However, I’m not recommending that you pay Microsoft $149.00 to fix it either. There is indeed another repair-it-yourself solution.

While there are many online XBOX 360 repair guides ranging in price from $22.95-$29.95, users should be wary of the copy-cat amateur tutorials that could cost you time, money and a really bad result; a broken and non-repairable XBOX 360 console.
