It was not long ago, the Xbox 360 hit the shelves of every game, Wal-Mart and electronics store across the globe. Some say, if Microsoft had not been in such a hurry to get the Xbox 360 released, they could have worked all the bugs out first…But no! As well as the worst problem of all, otherwise known as the 3 rings of death, the Xbox 360 also has its own series of hardware issues and overheating malfunctions. 7 out of 10 people that own the Xbox 360 are going to experience the 3 red tings of death, it’s become quite unavoidably, in fact almost 40% of new Xbox 360 owners expect it to happen and know it might happen before they even make the purchase, but because their loyal customers and absolutely love the Xbox, are willing to take a chance. Nothing Like Fresh Cool Air on Your Xbox 360 However, another very common problem these console have, is overheating, the reason for this is, most consoles get stored away somewhere air tight. The Xbox 360 has curriculum fans that constantly need to be blowing fresh cool air on the main circuitry board, along with many vented openings that allow the fan to intake fresh air. Anyone that has owned an Xbox 360 for more than 3 months has in doubt experienced this annoying problem. But not only does this machine need to constantly take in fresh cool air, the main power supply block, also has its own heat fans as well, so just like the Xbox 360 its self, the power supply block needs to be located somewhere, where it can breathe properly too! Just recently, Microsoft announced to the public that the inter-cooling system uses up way too much power, which also causes overheating and the 3 rings of death. Ever since the Xbox started having problems, Microsoft repaired broken Xbox 360's under the 90 day warranty for no cost and charged $140 to repair out-of-warranty Xbox 360's. July, 2007 Microsoft extended the warranty of all Xbox 360 consoles with common hardware issues to the new 3 year warranty service plan. 5 Tips to Keep Your Xbox in Tip Top Condition... 1.
