Dear Fellow Xbox 360 Enthusiasts,

My name is Dave and I'm addicted to my Xbox 360. This is really not a joke, I spend every spare moment of free time on my Xbox playing my favorite games (Halo 3, Gears of War 2, Resident Evil 5, etc.). A while back, my life was rocked when my Xbox 360 suddenly suffered the dreaded "red ring of death". If you are not familiar with this, three flashing lights appear on your Xbox which means hardware failure! I spent several days trying to decide what the heck to do.

First I researched online. I tried the "towel trick". That didn't help. Then I looked on Microsoft's site. The problem was covered by warranty, but I was shocked when I read that I would be without my console for up to 2 months. No freaking way man!

Then a few days later, I found the solution!

I read some reviews in some popular Xbox 360 gamer forums about a new service called Xbox 360 Red Light Fix Pro Gamer Edition. I visited the site and learned they provide a helpful, step-by-step video (and written) guide for how to fix the problem. I decided to give it a try. Boy was I glad I did. I fixed the problem in a little less than two hours (with a few snack breaks in between). I was very impressed with the HD quality video in the member's area. It really provided step-by-step instructions for doing everything.

Note: Please keep in mind, I am not a tech expert by any means. I've never fixed a computer, repaired any electronic device or even changed a tire on my car for that matter. Trust me, if I can follow their directions and fix the problem...anyone can!

Here's a screenshot of their website:

If your Xbox 360 is blinking those terrible red lights, I highly recommend you checkout this site too. Here's a few reasons why you will not be wasting your time with Xbox 360 Red Light Fix Pro Gamer Edition:

• It is GUARANTEED to work or you get your money back (for up to 56-days!).

• You will have your Xbox 360 up and running again in about two hours or less.

• Professional High Definition Streaming Video Tutorials, With In Action Camera Zooms So You Don't Miss A Detail.

• Great Customer Support from Real Human Beings!

• No special skills needed. Anyone can fix their Xbox 360. Trust me, If I can do it so can you!

• No special tools needed. You should have everything you need around your home (and if not, a quick trip to your local market will probably do).

• You get instant access. Even if it is the middle of the night and you want to fix your Xbox 360, you can do it. You get complete access to all videos and reading materials immediately after you purchase.

• It's dirt cheap at just $29 and it is risk free.

If you still think this sounds too good to be true, here is a screenshot of one of the videos you get access to inside the member's area. Notice how high quality it is. If you go to the Xbox 360 Red Light Fix Pro Gamer Edition homepage you can even watch this sample for free. Take a look at the screenshot below:

Ok, so let's recap everything you have learned here on this page. If your Xbox 360 has red flashing lights on it, that means your hardware has failed. Here are your options when this happens:

• Option One: Send your console to Microsoft to get it fixed. If your warranty has expired, this will cost you $140 plus shipping plus 6-8 weeks without your Xbox 360. If you do have a warranty, you still have to pay shipping AND suffer an agonizing month and a half to two months without playing games. To make matters worse, you might not even get you console back. You could get a refurbished model and suffer the same problem a few months later. Does this sound like a real option? No way, right?

• Option Two: Contact someone locally to fix your Xbox. I spent about three hours one day calling computer repair companies in my local area (there were no Xbox repair companies or video game repair companies). Not one offered a service to help. This is not an option in most areas.

• Option Three: Try one of the many hacks and tricks available online. These include the "towel trick" and the "soldering trick". First of all, in my experience the towel trick did not work (and some online gamers say it can catch your console on fire!). The "soldering trick" is scary as heck to me. I'm afraid I would mess my unit up even worse.

• Option Four: Buy a new Xbox 360 console. Some people decide to buy a new Xbox while they ship their old one back to Microsoft for repairs. Their plan is to return the new one when the old one gets back and is fixed. This can be risky. First of all, most all retailers now have "restocking fees" of around 10 to 15 percent of the purchase price for opened returned items (even with a receipt). Secondly, many retailers only offer a 30-45 day return policy. It can take Microsoft 45-60 days to return your old unit. You could be stuck with two Xbox 360's. This option will get you back up and running, but will cost you a small fortune!

• Option Five: Buy a lifetime membership to Xbox 360 Red Light Fix Pro Gamer Edition for a one time fee of just $29. You use their HD-caliber, easy-to-follow videos to fix the problem yourself and have your Xbox 360 working again in about two hours. If you are unable for any reason to get the problem fixed, you get your money back with no questions asked. This option has ZERO risk and tremendous upside (and best of all, it works!).
