Is your xbox plagued with the red ring of death? And no matter what you try, it still shows up?

When my xbox 360 showed the dreaded red ring of death, it was very annoying because all I want is simply to get back into my game. It was also quite startling to me at that time that it would cost me over $140 to send to Microsoft for repairs.

Through the course of repairing my xbox 360, I had discovered there were many many other ways in which my xbox 360 could be repair:-

I had found out there were many unorthodox fixes for the xbox 360 on youtube. Some of them even included wrapping the xbox 360 in towels. However, trying out the towel trick fix on my own xbox 360 was out of the question as chances of overheating and getting my xbox destroyed was high. Repairing my xbox 360 in this way was totally out of the question.

I went to a repair shop near my area to repair my xbox 360 and found out that it costs over $90 for repairing my xbox 360 and takes over a week. A sweeter deal than Microsoft as it costs $140 and takes them 2 weeks to repair.

There was an even more foolproof method of repair, as I had found out, that I could repair my xbox 360 for under $40 within 2 hours! Moreover, there was an additional upgrade for the xbox for HDMI graphics!

All these repairs even had a two month guarantee on all of them and this was very valuable. Repairs with Microsoft did not have any guarantee and the local shop that I went to only had a one week guarantee for the repairs that they made.

To me, this was an extremely sweet deal that I picked up immediately, where I had no risk and the fastest repair with the cheapest cost.

Many features were included into these repairs and there are also other very similar repairs that I used to get me back into playing with my xbox immediately.
