Xbox 360 Three Red Light Repair

James at joystiq fixed his own 360 that was flashing three red lights, which indicates an internal error.

If you have this problem try this simple fix:

1) Remove your hard drive and/or memory units.
2) Run "Initial Setup" under the system blade.
3) Decline inserting HDD or memory unit when prompted.
4) Sync your controller and pop in a game.

*** UPDATE *** Microsoft has a new free warranty of 3 years for the 3 red light error. If you have this problem, you can send your console in for free repair. Or, if you don't want to pay shipping and have to wait 2-3 weeks, you can attempt to fix it yourself.

    I had my 360 for almost a year when i got the dead-red lights. why should i have to pay $130 to fix a mistake made by the ones who made this. you know, they probably wont make this problem better, because they must make a hell of a lot of money off these faulty boxes, why would they ever want to fix it?

    My dad is a lawyer, he has heard of this problem but doesn’t know if there are enough people to draw up a lawsuit. If you guys are interested. Contact my father at Law Offices of Lewis And Associates. http://www.Lewisatlaw.com He would be willing to draw up a lawsuit if there are enough people most likely. Get a bunch of people with interest in getting this problem fixed.

    I bought mine from Ebay a few months after it was originally released. It was still unavailable in sotres, so I paid close to $500 shipped for it from ebay.

    I have put MANY hours on it, and play almost every night.

    A few days ago, the screen just went black. I turned it off, and when I tried to power it back on, there was the dreaded 3 red lights.

    This really sux. Calling support is a joke, they know what they have you run through isnt going to fix it……so why bother?
    I am just gonna replace it.

    Yea i was playing mlb 07 today when all of a sudden the piece of shit x-box 360 froze. I turned it off and on again and froze again.started playing the godfather , saved it went to play a game and the 3 rings of death came on . Microsoft should be held responsible and paying 150 for a repair is redicilous. There should be a recall
